La Bomba

La Bomba is a 1 vs. 3 mini-game in Mario Party 7. One character is on a large platform with moving switches that release Bob-ombs. The other three characters are in a small area with spikes in the middle. The lone character has to Ground-Pound on the switches to release the Bob-ombs contained in the boxes below them; the gray boxes hold only one Bob-bomb, the green boxes hold two, and the red boxes hold four. The three remaining have to avoid being blown up by those Bob-ombs and avoid those spikes on the stage. If the one player can eliminate all of their opponents within the thirty second time limit, they win.
