Bombsketball is a 2-vs-2 minigame found in Mario Party.

Gameplay

The minigame is a simplified version of basketball featuring a Bob-omb. The player with the Bob-omb can either pass it or jump and shoot it into the hoop, while opponents can try to steal it from them. Using a Bob-omb as a basketball, both teams must race to score a goal. The players on offense can pass the ball and can make a goal by jumping and pressing to shoot, while the defense can use to steal the ball. The first team to score a goal wins, also receiving ten Coins each from the losers. The Bob-omb explodes if time runs out, resulting in a draw.

It costs 300 Coins to purchase at the Mini-Game House once available.

The minigame title combines "bomb" and "basketball."
