Defuse or Lose is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 5, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. The minigame features the only appearance of King Bob-omb in Mario Party 5. In the background are some big Bob-omb-shaped sculptures. Also surrounding the players is a big group of Bob-ombs.
Defuse or Lose is one of three minigames present in The Top 100 to reappear in Jamboree, along with Blame It on the Crane and Three Throw, both from Mario Party 4.
Introduction[edit]
The game first shows a Bob-omb on the verge of exploding. Once it does, the three fuses attached to King Bob-omb begin to burn. The screen then zooms out and shows the sparks traveling across one team's set of fuses before the screen splits.
Gameplay[edit]
The objective of the minigame is to prevent the sparks on the fuses from reaching King Bob-omb. To do this, players on each team must ground-pound the three fuses, which follow a set trail. The fuses rekindle not too long after they are extinguished, so the players must ground-pound them again. A player can extinguish two sparks at once by ground-pounding them where the fuses intersect. Players must be careful not to ground-pound their teammates, or the flattened teammates are temporarily stunned. If a team's spark reaches King Bob-omb, that team loses. If both teams' sparks reach King Bob-omb at the same time, the minigame ends in a draw.
Ending[edit]
When one team loses, King Bob-omb explodes, making the team and Bob-ombs all fly away. In Mario Party 5, the remaining team then perform their victory animations as the Bob-ombs clear the area. If a draw occurs, both King Bob-ombs explode, sending both teams and their Bob-ombs flying. A rubble is created, smoking. In Super Mario Party Jamboree, the losers perform their defeat animations behind the winners.
