Each character starts with their own column, three squares wide and nine squares high. Two by two, blocks will fall from the top of their column. Players must use the falling blocks to earn [[point]]s by making groups of three or more similar-colored blocks, which breaks them. If the blocks break in such a way that one set falls to form another group of three, a chain is formed and even more points are scored. Sometimes, [[Bob-omb]]s will fall; surrounding a Bob-omb with blocks causes it to explode and take out all the blocks touching it, scoring points for each one. The player who gets 100 points first wins the game.
Players earn [[point]]s by grouping three or more similarly colored blocks to break them. Further points are earned from chains, where more groups of blocks are broken in a row. [[Bob-omb]]s can sometimes fall and explode by being surrounded with blocks. Though a 3x9 column is assigned to each player, they can still match blocks in others' columns, but if a player's column overflows, they are unable to play unless the blocks are cleared from their column. The first player to get 100 points wins, though if only one player's column has not overflown, that player wins instead.
 
Players are not restricted to placing blocks and Bob-ombs in their own columns. Any player can place any block anywhere, but they will get points only if they are the one who completes the group of three. As a final note, if any player's column gets completely filled up, that player cannot participate until some of their blocks are cleared by other players. If three columns are filled up, the player whose column was not completely filled up wins, regardless of points.

In ''Mario Party DS'', there are a few changes. The bottom screen shows the entire action, while the top screen shows a tip about surrounding a Bob-omb. In addition to that, there is an "all clear" bonus that gives the player an additional 1,000 points. Each match is worth three points times the current level number. During the game, the sides will close, blocking any extra pieces.


The two-player version has the same rules as the ''Mario Party 4'' version.

Bob-omb Breakers is a Puyo Puyo-like 4-Player minigame from Mario Party 4 and a Puzzle minigame from Mario Party DS.

Overview[edit]

Gameplay of Bob-omb Breakers in Mario Party DS.
Gameplay from Mario Party DS

Players earn points by grouping three or more similarly colored blocks to break them. Further points are earned from chains, where more groups of blocks are broken in a row. Bob-ombs can sometimes fall and explode by being surrounded with blocks. Though a 3x9 column is assigned to each player, they can still match blocks in others' columns, but if a player's column overflows, they are unable to play unless the blocks are cleared from their column. The first player to get 100 points wins, though if only one player's column has not overflown, that player wins instead.

Some changes were done in the one-player Mario Party DS version, though the two-player version has the same rules as in Mario Party 4. Gameplay is done from the touch screen, while the top screen only gives a hint about surrounding a Bob-omb. There is also an "all clear" bonus worth 1,000 points. The amount of points earned from matching blocks equals the number cleared at once multiplied by the current level number, and a chain reaction also multiplies the position of the chain. Each level has a gauge, with the leftmost and rightmost columns closing after the first tier, then two more columns after the second tier, and two more columns once the gauge is full, leaving only the middle three columns open; by leveling up, the gauge resets, and the affected columns are reopened. One can go up to level 99, and clearing it only empties the gauge again.[1]
