'''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==
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==
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|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==
[[File:Defuse or Lose End 5.png|thumb|The ending to Defuse or Lose when King Bob-omb explodes in ''Mario Party 5'']]
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.
