Defuse or Lose

Defuse or Lose is a 2 vs. 2 minigame in Mario Party 5. Its name is a pun on "you snooze, you lose".

The object of the game is simple enough: to not let the fuse reach Big Bob-omb. To do this, players and their teammate must Ground Pound the three fuses, which follow a set trail. The fuses will rekindle not too long after they are extinguished, so the players must ground pound them again. If the fire or spark reaches Big Bob-omb, that team loses.

The mini-game features the only appearance of Big Bob-omb in Mario Party 5. In the background are some big Bob-omb-shaped sculptures. Also, surrounding the player are a big group of Bob-ombs. If the player loses, Big Bob-omb explodes, making the player's character, his or her teammate, and the Bob-ombs all fly away.
