The Great Deflate

The Great Deflate is a 2-vs.-2 minigame in Mario Party 4. It is set to be featured in the minigame compilation game, Mario Party: The Top 100. Its name comes from the term "The Great Debate".

Opening
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.

Gameplay
Players must Ground Pound an inflatable, blue Thwomp made of rubber enough to completely deflate it. The higher the jump before the Pound, the more air gets deflated. The first team to completely deflate their Thwomp wins.

Ending
The team that deflated their Thwomp will do their victory poses, while the losing team sulks.

In-game text

 * Game Rules – "Do Ground Pounds on the inflated Thwomp repeatedly to deflate it."
 * Advice – "Time your jumps with your partner to deflate the Thwomp faster."

Trivia

 * In the Mario Party: The Top 100 incarnation of the minigame, the Thwomps feature the modern facial look, but are still blue cubes. This is the first time any Thwomp has been seen as a blue cube since Super Smash Bros. Brawl, released nine years prior.
