Bombs Away

Bombs Away is a 4-Player minigame from the original Mario Party on the Nintendo 64.

Overview

Bombs Away
Type: 4-Player
Time Limit: 30
Draw: Nobody Survives
Game: Mario Party
Console: Nintendo 64
Controls: Standard Controls
Music: Ducking and Dodging
Controls (All):
Control Stick: Move
A: Jump

Survive 30 seconds without getting hit by a cannonball or falling into the water to win! More than one person can win, thankfully.

Cannonballs from the pirate ship in the distance are shot out about every second, but not all of them reach the island. If a player gets hit by a cannonball, they’re immediately thrown out. If the cannonball hits the island, any players that were not jumping in the air during impact will get briefly stunned.

A version of the minigame returned in Mario Party 2, and the minigame was remade in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars.
