Darts of Doom is a Bowser minigame in Mario Party 4.

Gameplay

In this minigame, players have to throw three darts simultaneously at a dart board with eight point numbers (1, 5, 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, and 100) and a Bowser emblem on the bull's-eye by pressing . Once a player throws the darts, a Koopa Kid checks the board and announces the total score for the player. Once all participants have thrown their darts, Bowser announces the loser of the minigame, and the player with the fewest points gets burned by Bowser, making them lose the minigame. If a player hits the Bowser emblem in the center of the board, the minigame ends immediately, and that player gets burned.

If a tie for last place occurs, then the last player to get the lowest score loses.
