Short Fuse is a Battle minigame found in Mario Party DS. Its name comes from a term regarding a person who is easily angered.
Introduction[edit]
A Bowser bomb falls from the sky and lands on the ground. Then, a random player hops down beside the fuse as the game begins.
Gameplay[edit]
Going clockwise, players have three seconds each to blow into the microphone to shorten the fuse. Whoever sets off the bomb by either depleting the whole fuse or not blowing at all is blown away and eliminated. The cycle repeats until there is one player remaining, who wins the minigame.
Controls[edit]
– Blow on the fuse
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – "All players take turns blowing on the bomb fuse, hoping to make the bomb blow up for the next player. If you're caught in a blast, you're out!"
- Tips – "You must blow on the bomb at least a little, or else the bomb will blow up anyway! So blow just a little, even if the fuse is very short!"
