Not to be confused with Bowser Pinball.

Bowser's Painball is a Bowser minigame appearing in Mario Party 10. "Painball" is a portmanteau of the words "pain" and "pinball."

GameplayEdit

The Team Mario players are in a pinball game controlled by Bowser. Bowser has 30 seconds to shoot Spiked Balls to harm players. Other elements from a real pinball machine also appear here, with overhead bumpers and a moving wall. The team players lose one heart every time they get hit. The game starts with one ball, and after about five seconds, a second ball appears from the left. If one of the balls falls in the center, the same ball will reappear after a few seconds.

The player controlling Bowser can shake the GamePad to briefly stun the other players, though this is never explained in-game.

This minigame appears in amiibo Party only if Bowser is one of the players. Each team player has two hearts in this mode, and as with all other Bowser minigames, Bowser has to eliminate all of the other players' hearts to win. If even one heart remains, Bowser loses and everyone else wins.
