==Gameplay==
The minigame is largely the same as [[Bowser's Big Blast]] from ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', but with Rumble Feature support, the music continuing even when a pump is pressed, and the bomb being composed of glass-like material and having more realistic exploding sounds. A player can also decide to activate a different pump by pressing {{button|gcn|r}}.
The four players take turns pushing down on the pumps connected to the Bowser bomb. Only one pump will set the bomb off, and if a player activates it, the glass bomb will explode, eliminating the player. The game continues until only one player is left standing. Unlike in Bowser's Big Blast, this version includes the Rumble Feature, the music no longer stops after a player presses a switch, and the bomb is now made of glass and makes a less cartoonish blast when it explodes. The player can also change their mind once about which switch to press by letting go of {{button|gcn|r}}.
