Mario Party: The Top 100:

Defuse or Lose is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 5, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Super Mario Party Jamboree

Overview

The opening shows a Bob-omb exploding, which causes the three fuses attached to King Bob-omb to be lit.

Both players on a team ground-pound the sparks on the three fuses repeatedly, trying to stop them from touching King Bob-omb. If a teammate is ground-pounded, they become flattened briefly. The team whose King Bob-omb explodes loses, but if it occurs to both sides at once, it is a tie.

The ending in Mario Party 5 shows the winning players pose as the Bob-ombs leave. Super Mario Party Jamboree shows the losers performing their defeat animations behind the winners.
