Gameplay

Official artwork of Peach holding a hammer in the minigame next to a Bob-omb.

Both players have three lives and attempt to use hammers to knock the Bob-omb at each other to defeat the opponent and make them lose a life. The player can either hammer the Bob-omb from the ground at an arc or spike the Bob-omb by jumping and hammering at it. If the player misses the Bob-omb with their hammer, it detonates on the ground, causing them to lose a life. Additionally, the Bob-omb may also explode on its own after a while; the player whose side it is on explodes and loses a life. Eliminating the opponent results in victory.

Trivia

• Certain COM opponents have their own tactics. If the enemy is Peach, she acts calm in the first two rounds, but in the third round, she moves and jumps around constantly. Luigi is the opposite, aggressive in the first two rounds, then calm in the third round.
