The Great Deflate

The Great Deflate is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party 4 and Mario Party: The Top 100. Its name comes from the term "."

Introduction
At a beach, an inflatable Thwomp falls onto the ground, and the camera zooms out, revealing a second inflatable Thwomp as the teams land on each respective one. In Mario Party: The Top 100, the Thwomps have their modern facial expression.

Gameplay
Players must ground-pound an inflatable blue Thwomp enough to completely deflate it. The higher the jump before the Ground Pound, the more air that gets deflated. The first team to completely deflate its Thwomp wins. If neither team has completely deflated their Thwomp within 30 seconds, the game ends in a tie.

Ending
In Mario Party 4, the winning team's members do their winning animations while the losing team's members do their losing animations.
