Danger, Bob-omb! Danger!
Danger, Bob-omb! Danger! (known as Run, Bob-omb, Run! in multiplayer) is an Action minigame that appears in New Super Mario Bros.
Gameplay
The player guides a Bob-omb Buddy running around and avoiding balls of fire and the flame breath spat out by a Mechanical Bowser. The player controls the Bob-omb Buddy by using the stylus. Hitting a ball of fire or the flame breath causes the Bob-omb Buddy to light and explode instantly, ending the game.
In the multiplayer version, each player has three lives. Like in single-player mode, if Bob-ombs touch any hazards, they explode and lose a life. When all the other Bob-ombs lose all three lives, the last Bob-omb standing is the winner. The game also has adjustable difficulty. The harder it is, the more fireballs and the more frequent Bowser breaths there will be.
