Revers-a-Bomb is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party 4, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

Overview[edit]

Revers-a-Bomb in Mario Party Superstars
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars

The minigame opens with the six Bob-ombs falling into place, one after the other.

Both teams use buttons from either the left or right side, competing to make the Bob-ombs explode at the opposite side. If a player makes contact with the explosion, they become temporarily stunned. Bob-ombs become increasingly faster as gameplay continues. The first team to send ten Bob-ombs to the opposing side, or the team that has fewer hits when time is up, wins, but if both teams have taken the same number of hits, it is a tie.
