Template:Minigame-infobox Short Fuse is a minigame found in Mario Party DS. It is a Battle minigame that requires the Nintendo DS microphone.

Gameplay

A Bowser Bomb falls, and the players must put out the fuse, blowing into the microphone for three seconds. The players take turns blowing out the fuse, and whoever sets off the bomb is knocked away and kicked out of the minigame, and the game continues. Last player standing wins. The way to win this is to not blow the fuse a lot if it is almost out. Due to the fact that this minigame has a timer that is set for shorter than five seconds, the timer will be red as soon as the minigame begins.

Controls
