Bob-omb Breakers is a Tetris-like four-player mini-game from Mario Party 4. It reappeared in Mario Party DS as a Puzzle mini-game. Each character starts with his or her own column, three squares wide and about fifteen squares high. Two by two, blocks will fall from the top of their column. Players must control the falling pieces to make groups of three or more like colored pieces. Doing so will break them and earn points for the player. If the blocks break in such away that one set of blocks falls to form another group of three, a chain is formed and even more points are scored. Sometimes, Bob-ombs will fall. Surrounding a Bob-omb with blocks causes it to explode taking out all the pieces touching it, scoring points for each piece. This mini-game can be compared to Block Star from Mario Party 6.
Players are not restricted to placing blocks and Bob-ombs their own columns. Any player can place any block anywhere, but they will only get points if they are the one who completes the group of three. As a final note, if any player's column gets completely filled up, that player cannot participate until some of his or her blocks are cleared by other players.
