'''Bowser's Big Blast''' is a luck-based Battle [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' (where it is stylized as '''BOWSER's Big Blast''') and a Free-for-All minigame in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

==Introduction==
==Overview==
A massive [[Bowser]] bomb is screwed into place by a mechanical arm, and the camera zooms out. The four characters enter the room it is in and get in line (with the exception of the first player up to press a switch) while the switches appear. The minigame then begins.

The opening shows a mechanism screwing a large [[bomb]] shaped like Bowser into place. The four players then arrive, lined up, and the switches show up.


==Gameplay==
The minigame is luck-based. Players take turns to press either a red, a purple, a yellow, a green, or a white switch, hoping it does not result in the bomb exploding. If the nostrils on the bomb emit steam, the player is not disqualified, and they go to the back of the line. If the wrong switch is set off, the eyes on the bomb count down from three before exploding. If every player presses a switch that does not detonate the bomb, a different set of switches appears. Each time a player is disqualified, one less switch is available, going to as few as three. The last player left wins.
The players take turns pressing down the switches connected to the Bowser [[bomb]]. There are five switches in different colors: red, purple, yellow, green, and white. After a player presses a switch, the minigame decides whether they are safe or not. If steam comes out of the bomb's "nostrils," the player is safe and moves to the end of the line. However, if the wrong switch is pressed, the bomb's eyes count down from three, eliminating the player when it explodes. If everyone presses down a switch that does not set off the bomb, a new set of switches appears. Each time a player is eliminated, the number of switches decreases by one until there are only three left. The minigame continues until there is only one player left, and that player is declared the winner.

In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', the player characters breathe a sigh of relief if the bomb does not explode or take cover if it does. ''Mario Party Superstars'' adds more animations, including the player character holding their breath after choosing a bomb and panicking if the bomb counts down. ''Mario Party Superstars'' also shows the bomb emitting electricity and turning white upon blowing up.


In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', the explosion of the bomb is more detailed. The characters also breathe a sigh of relief if the bomb does not explode or take cover if it does.
It costs 980 [[coin]]s to buy the minigame from [[Woody]] in ''Mario Party 2''.
 
In ''Mario Party Superstars'', along with the animations added in ''The Top 100''{{'}}s variant being present here as well, the characters vocalize whenever they press a switch, and they hold their breath after they choose a switch. Additionally, if a character chooses a wrong switch, they panic before the bomb explodes. The bomb also takes a slightly longer time to explode like in [[Bowser's Bigger Blast]] from ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', and it emits electricity and turns bright white when it explodes.
