La Bomba

Template:Minigame-infobox La Bomba is a 1-vs.-3 minigame in Mario Party 7. Its name is Spanish for "the bomb", but is also a pun on the Ritchie Valens song, La Bamba (which is also one of the songs from Nancy Cassidy and the Nancy Cassidy CD), or possibly the Puerto Rican dance, Bomba.

Introduction

The solo player Ground Pounds a switch, opening a gate behind him and dropping a Bob-omb on the team area.

Gameplay

One character is on a large platform with moving switches that release Bob-ombs. The other three characters are in a small area with spikes in the middle. The solo character has to Ground Pound the switches to release the Bob-ombs contained in the boxes below them. The gray boxes hold only one Bob-omb, the green boxes hold two, and the red boxes hold four. The opponents have to avoid the spikes on the stage and the Bob-ombs being dropped on them. If the solo player can eliminate all of his/her opponents within 30 seconds, he/she wins. The opponents win if even one of them survives.
