Template:Minigame-infobox Bowl Over is a 1-vs-3 minigame found in Mario Party and Mario Party 2. Its name could be a pun on the term "pull over" or "bowl someone over."
Gameplay
In Mario Party, the game takes place inside a chapel with stained glass windows. The team players (who are the pins) must avoid being hit by a Green Shell, while the other player has to bowl and control the shell to knock over as many of the team players as possible. If the single player knocks over a normal pin, they will get a Coin. If the player's shell touches the sides or reaches the end of the lane without knocking over any pins, the game ends in a "Miss!" If a player's pin gets hit by the shell, the bowler will take three Coins from the player. If all the pins are knocked over, the announcer will say, "Strike!"
In Mario Party 2, there are some changes to the minigame. This time, the game is set on top of a canyon during a sunset. The solo player must knock over all the opponents, and has a chance to throw a second shell. This variation has no side barriers, but the solo player will still lose if the shell goes off the path.
In both versions, there are several variations on the bowling "lane" path, to increase playability.
In the Mini-Game Coaster, the human player plays against the team of three.
