Bombsketball is a 2-vs-2 minigame found in Mario Party. Its name is a combination of "bomb" and "basketball."

Gameplay[edit]

Using a Bob-omb as a basketball, both teams must race to score a goal. The players on offense can pass the ball and can make a goal by jumping and pressing B Button to shoot, while the defense can use B Button to steal the ball. If one of the teams scores a goal within the time limit, the teammates win ten Coins each from the losers. If time runs out, the Bob-omb explodes and the minigame ends in a draw.

The minigame can be purchased from the Mini-Game House for 300 Coins when it is available for purchase.
