Gameplay

Bowl Over as seen in Mario Party 2.

The three Players (who are the pins) have to avoid being hit by a Green Shell, while the other player has to bowl and control the shell to knock over as many of the three players as possible. If the single player knocks over a normal pin, he/she'll get a coin. If the player's shell touches the sides or reaches the end of the lane, the game ends. If a player's pin gets hit by the shell, the bowler will take three coins from the player.

In Mario Party 2, there are some changes to the mini-game; this time the player has to knock all of the other players to win, and the player has a chance to throw a second shell. This variation has no side barriers, however the single player will still lose if the shell goes off the path.

In both versions, there are several variations on the bowling 'lane' path, to increase playability.
