Head Waiter

Head Waiter is a duel mini-game found in Mario Party 5.

Gameplay
Players take turns tossing a bomb in the likeness of Bowser's head back and forth amongst themselves. The timer on the bomb starts at nine; players may count down either one or two numbers in an effort to avoid being the one to decrease the counter to zero. The player who does so causes the bomb to explode in their character's hands, which results their opponent to cover their ears while the bomb explodes. Then the mini-game announcer will call "Finish!" to end the game and their opponent will be declared the winner. If they don't dock a number within the time limit of five seconds, then it will give out the same result as mentioned above.

Once the timer reaches below five, the numbers displayed change to question marks, making it impossible to tell whether the player's opponent has docked one or two numbers off the time and when the timer hits x... The head explodes and the mini-game ends. When the Bowser Head explodes, the character holding it will fly to the game screen, which tilts because of the "impact", thus breaking the Fourth Wall.
