Bob-ombs Away
Template:Minigame-infobox Bob-ombs Away is a 1-vs.-3 minigame that is found in Mario Party 8. Its name is a pun on the phrase "Bombs Away".
Introduction
A player at the top on the ledge drops a Bob-omb onto the poles. The Bob-omb collides with each of poles as it falls in front of the solo player, exploding and surprising them. The player moves back to their position, and the minigame starts.
Gameplay
The three players on the ledge attempt to hit the solo player with Bob-ombs, while the solo player must avoid getting blown up. The three players won't have an easy win, as there are poles on the walls that bump the Bob-omb in different directions. On occasion, if two Bob-ombs are thrown at once and fall down the same gap, they may end up stuck; however, there is a chance that both would continue down the gap. If the solo player avoids getting blown up by a dropped Bob-omb until the thirty seconds are up, they win. If the solo player is blown up, however, the three players win.
Ending
At the end of the minigame, if the solo player is blown up, the three players do a winning pose; the solo player sits on a platform, appearing dizzy. If the solo player survives, the Bob-ombs that the three players are holding explode in their hands and they're blown to the ground as the single player does a winning pose.
Trivia
- In Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Toadsworth, in the Joint Tower, will shout "Bob-ombs away!" before leaving.
