The objective is to blow up the King Bob-omb on the other side. To do this, the players must press one of the switches in front of them to light the fuse. Only one of the cables is live. The players have 10 seconds to choose a switch. Afterwards, the players both press the chosen switch at the same time, and the fuse either stops just before the Bob-omb or goes all the way.

You're the Bob-omb is a luck-based Duel minigame in Mario Party 8.

Overview

In the introduction, two Shy Guys in cranes each put a Big Bob-omb on a stand on each side of the construction site. There are five switches in front of each of the stands, with cables leading to the other side, and the two players each go to one of the sides.

The objective is to blow up the King Bob-omb on the other side. To do this, the players must press one of the switches in front of them to light the fuse. Only one of the cables is live. The players have 10 seconds to choose a switch. Afterwards, the players both press the chosen switch at the same time, and the fuse either stops just before the Bob-omb or goes all the way. If the fuse goes all the way, the Bob-omb on the other side explodes, causing the player on that side to lose. If both Bob-ombs explode in the same round or all of the dead wires are used, the minigame ends in a tie.

In the ending, the loser is blasted into the air, falling into the ground upon descent, making a hole. The crane picks them up, while the winner performs their winning animation. In case of a tie, there are two different scenarios. If all dead wires are used, both players will jump in shock and do their red space animations, upon realizing that if they active that wire, they will blow themselves up. If both Bob-ombs explode, both of the cranes will pick the players up.
