Running of the Bulb is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party.
Overview[edit]
Running of the Bulb, like Key-pa-Way, requires cooperation amongst all four players. Gameplay involves the four players trying to reach the socket at the end of a hallway in a castle-like area. The player with the lightbulb is at the front, while the other three are beside them. Many Boos try to possess the players, though punches can defeat them and return possessed players to normal. Possessed players try to steal the bulb from the player with the lightbulb. The Big Boo tries to consume players, removing them from the minigame, and if the Big Boo gets the player with the bulb, all players lose five Coins each. Thwomps are also obstacles, and they try to crush players along the way. Winning requires at least the player with the bulb to reach the end, and they and other players who made it each get ten Coins; meanwhile, players who did not make it neither win nor lose Coins.
The minigame title appeared to be derived from the traditional Spanish event, running of the bulls.
Running of the Bulb costs 400 Coins to buy at the Mini-Game House when it becomes available.
