Bowser's Painball is a Bowser minigame appearing in Mario Party 10. "Painball" is a portmanteau of the words "pain" and "pinball."

Gameplay

The Team Mario players are in a pinball game controlled by Bowser. Bowser has 30 seconds to shoot Spiked Balls to harm players. Other elements from a real pinball machine also appear here, with overhead bumpers and a moving wall. The team players lose one heart every time they get hit. The game starts with one ball, and after about five seconds, a second ball appears from the left. If one of the balls falls in the center, the same ball will reappear after a few seconds.

The player playing as Bowser can actually shake the GamePad to briefly stun the other players. This is never explained in-game, however.
