You're the Bob-omb

You're the Bob-omb is a Duel minigame in Mario Party 8. The name of the mini-game originates from the phrase "You're the bomb."

Introduction

Two Shy Guys in cranes will put two Big Bob-ombs on stands on each side of the minigame's location. There will be five switches in front of each of the stands, with cables leading to the other side, and the two players will go on one of the sides.

Gameplay

This game is purely a game of chance.

The objective is to blow up the Big Bob-omb on the other side. To do this, the players must press one of the switches in front of them to light the fuse. Only one of the cables is live, and the other four are dead. The players will both press the chosen switch at the same time, and the fuse will either stop just before the Bob-omb or go all the way. If it does, the Bob-omb on the other side will explode, which ends the game, unless both Bob-ombs explode or all of the dead wires are used, in which cases the game ends in a tie.

Ending

The loser is blasted into the air, falling into the ground upon descent, making a hole. The crane picks him or her up, while the winner performs his or her victory dance. If the game is tied, both players will do their losing animations, but they won't get picked up by the crane.
