==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
In ''Mario Party'', the minigame takes place inside a chapel with stained glass windows. The team players (who are the pins) must avoid being hit by a [[Green Shell]], while the other player has to bowl and control the shell to knock over as many of the team players as possible. If the solo player knocks over a normal pin, they get a [[Coin]]. If the player's shell touches the sides or reaches the end of the lane without knocking over any pins, the minigame ends in a "Miss!" If a player's pin gets hit by the shell, the bowler takes five Coins from the player. If all the pins are knocked over, the announcer says, ''"Strike!"''
===''Mario Party''===
In ''Mario Party'', the game takes place inside a chapel with stained glass windows. The three players (who are the pins) must avoid being hit by a [[Green Shell]], while the other player has to bowl and control the shell to knock over as many of the three players as possible. If the single player knocks over a normal pin, they'll get a [[coin]]. If the player's shell touches the sides or reaches the end of the lane without knocking over any pins, the game ends in a "Miss!". If a player's pin gets hit by the shell, the bowler will take three coins from the player. If all the pins are knocked over, the announcer will say "Strike!", which is the only time it is ever said.


In ''Mario Party 2'', there are some changes to the minigame. This time, the minigame is set on top of a canyon during a sunset. The solo player must knock over all the opponents, and has a chance to throw a second shell. This variation has no side barriers, but the solo player still loses if the shell goes off the path and the solo player does not win coins from the players the solo player hits.

In both versions, there are several variations on the bowling "lane" path, to increase playability.
