4. Bombs Away – Mario Party 2
Type: Free-for-all minigame
Bombs Away was first introduced in the original Mario Party, and plays almost exactly like the version found in Mario Party 2. In this minigame, four players stand on a tiny island while being assaulted by cannon fire from a ship in the distance. The impact of each cannonball makes the island rock back and forth, making it difficult to stay on. If you are standing on the ground while a cannonball hits the island, your character is stunned and will be defenseless against incoming attacks for a few seconds. If a cannonball hits a player, they are knocked out, and the last man standing wins.
The fight to stay alive is always a challenge in both versions. However, the Mario Party 2 version reigns superior due to one simple addition that was added to the game. In this version, a ship that resembles Bowser is attacking you, and when the game reaches the last five seconds, the head of the ship turns and spits out a huge Bullet Bill from its mouth! This massive attack helps determine the victor in a stalemate and often leads to a lot of interesting results.
Mario Party excels when it’s unpredictable, and victory is as uncertain as ever when this giant Bullet Bill attacks your small island!
