The player is safe if a small burst of smoke comes from the bomb's "nostrils", and it detonates if the incorrect one is chosen, eliminating that player; another bomb is then put into place and the game continues. At the beginning there are five plungers of varying colors, and after a player is eliminated, the number decreases until three are left; if all plungers that aren't the detonator are chosen, they are reset.
Once a player pressed a plunger, the game decides whether they are safe or not. If steam comes out of the bomb's "nostrils", then the player is safe. However, if the wrong switch is pressed, then the eyes will count down from three, which eliminates the player when it explodes. The process repeats until there is only one player left. The last player standing is the winner. There are five plungers in different colors: red, pink, yellow, green, and white. Each time a player is eliminated, the number of switches will decrease by one until there are only three left. If everyone chose a plunger that won't set off the bomb, then a new set of plungers will appear.

Template:Minigame-infobox Bowser's Big Blast (stylized as BOWSER's Big Blast) is a battle minigame in Mario Party 2 and returns in Mario Party: The Top 100. The minigame's specific concept, with the Bowser head and the switches, later appears in Mario Party 4, under the name Bowser's Bigger Blast. The Merry-Go-Chomp minigame from Mario Party 3, uses a similar concept to that of this one.

Introduction

A Bowser bomb is screwed into place by a mechanical arm and the camera zooms out. The four characters enter the room it's in and get in line (with the exception of the first player up to press a plunger) while the plungers appear. The minigame then begins.

Gameplay

The game is a luck-based minigame. The players take turns pressing down the plungers connected to a massive Bowser bomb.

Once a player pressed a plunger, the game decides whether they are safe or not. If steam comes out of the bomb's "nostrils", then the player is safe. However, if the wrong switch is pressed, then the eyes will count down from three, which eliminates the player when it explodes. The process repeats until there is only one player left. The last player standing is the winner. There are five plungers in different colors: red, pink, yellow, green, and white. Each time a player is eliminated, the number of switches will decrease by one until there are only three left. If everyone chose a plunger that won't set off the bomb, then a new set of plungers will appear.

In Mario Party: The Top 100, the explosion of the bomb is more detailed.
