Bowser's Bigger Blast
Template:Minigame-infobox Bowser's Bigger Blast is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 4. This game plays similarly to Bowser's Big Blast from Mario Party 2 (as its name would imply), Merry-Go-Chomp from Mario Party 3, and You're the Bob-omb from Mario Party 8, however, this version of the game includes the rumble feature and the bomb makes a more dramatic blast when it explodes. Additionally, the bomb is made of glass.
Opening
The game is set in a lab; a giant bomb that looks like Bowser's head is lowered and screwed into place. The four players enter, the first one running onto a platform with various levers.
Gameplay
This game is played in the same way as Bowser's Big Blast from Mario Party 2. 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 bomb will explode, eliminating the player. The game continues until only one player is left standing.
Ending
The camera zooms in on the remaining player, who does a victory pose. Losing players are not seen.
Controls
– Move
– Press the Switch
In-game text
- Game Rules – "Players press the switches one by one. Try not to be the one who sets off the bomb!"
- Advice – "If you change your mind, you have five seconds to choose another switch."
