Defuse or Lose

Defuse or Lose is a 2 vs. 2 mini-game in Mario Party 5.

The object of the game is simple enough: to not let the fuse reach King Bob-omb. To do this, the player and his or her teammate must ground pound the fuse, which is following a set trail. The fuse will reappear not too long afterwards. If the fire or spark reaches King Bob-omb, the player loses. The key to winning this game is to ground pound as fast as possible, and to have a good aim.

The mini-game features the only appearance of King Bob-omb in Mario Party 5. In the background, you can see a variety of clouds or marshmallow-looking things of various colors, and some big Bob-omb shaped sculptures. Also, surrounding the player are a big group of Bob-ombs. If the player loses, King Bob-omb explodes, making the player's character, his or her teammate and the Bob-ombs all fly away.

In-Game Instructions

Slow the burning fuse by doing a Ground Pound directly on it. If a spark reaches King Bob-omb, you will lose.

Advice
Look where the fuses cross each other to slow two sparks with a single Ground Pound.
