Bubble Squabble is a 1-vs.-2 or 3 minigame appearing in Mario Party 10. Its name is a pun on the 1986 video game Bubble Bobble.

Gameplay[edit]

The rivals are bouncing on the Mushroom Trampolines from the 3D Super Mario games, while the solo player is blowing bubbles. The rivals must bounce for as long as possible, while the solo player must trap all the rivals in bubbles. The longer the solo player holds down Two Button, the larger the bubble will be. If a rival is trapped in a bubble, their teammate(s) has/have the option of rescuing them by popping the bubble. If the solo player manages to trap all the rivals in bubbles, then the solo player wins; otherwise, the rivals win.
