Bombsketball is a 2-vs-2 minigame found in Mario Party.
Gameplay
The minigame is a simplified version of basketball featuring a Bob-omb.[1] 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. The first team to score a goal wins, and each of them get ten Coins 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."
