'''Defuse or Lose''' is a 2-vs.-2 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. The minigame features the only appearance of [[King Bob-omb]] in ''Mario Party 5''. In the background are some big [[Bob-omb]]-shaped sculptures. Also surrounding the players is a big group of Bob-ombs.

The objective of the minigame is to prevent the sparks on the fuses from reaching King Bob-omb. To do this, players on each team must [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] the three fuses, which follow a set trail. The fuses rekindle not too long after they are extinguished, so the players must ground-pound them again. A player can extinguish two sparks at once by ground-pounding them where the fuses intersect. If a team's spark reaches King Bob-omb, that team loses. If both teams' sparks reach King Bob-omb at the same time, the minigame ends in a draw.

When one team loses, King Bob-omb explodes, making the team and Bob-ombs all fly away. In ''Mario Party 5'', the remaining team then perform their victory animations as the Bob-ombs clear the area. If a draw occurs, both King Bob-ombs explode, sending both teams and their Bob-ombs flying. A rubble is created, smoking.
