0:47 Wario’s “d’oh, I missed!/so ein mist!” goes well to the countdown imo

This minigame has looked a lot better throughout the years, and it’s actually one of my favorite luck-based minigames. I love this minigame, I can definitely understand why people hate this one though.

[GreenMask-XRGM-]

I love how the 2021 one now makes your heart pound in these silent moments.

I love how Superstars have the characters praying to God not to have the Bowser head explode

[dkjcb]

My favourite one is definitely the original, but I love the randomised wait times in Superstars. Makes it so much more suspenseful, especially when playing online or with friends. The praying is pretty funny too.

Bowser's Big Blast! Also known as, the mini-game every competitive player hates!

[DTB]

If they got off the platform instead of ducking before the head exploded, then this minigame would’ve lasted infinitely.

Lucky reactions:
2: Okay whatever let’s move onto the next person
4: Yay I did not die!
Top 100 & Superstars: Phew…

Unlucky reactions:
2:
4: Oh no…
Top 100 & Superstars: Ah crap! (3 seconds later) We’re blasting off again!!!

Praying reaction (in Superstars): Please God don’t blow me up 🙏

[GameBoyFrenzy]

The characters praying in Superstars is a brilliant addition.

The unspoken rule of this minigame is that you can't pick the same color as your guy.

[ThundagaT]

Man you can really feel Luigi's utter defeat in the original

[TwinProductions]

It also includes the BIGGER Blast as well.

3:09 I love how peach immediately knew that the red switch was safe

[JazlynGabrielson]

Even for a 2002 video game, I love how well animated and graphic the explosion is in Mario party 4.

[HenrysSpiceofLife]

I played Mario Party 4 first, so for years I thought Bowser’s Bigger Blast was the original until Top 100 told me otherwise. My parents and I always called it “The Dorito Minigame” because the shards always looked like little Doritos. Good times!

[juanrivera]

Ah, yes! The Devil's Minigame in 4 different styles

[ninjapirate]

This minigame was so popular that it broke the internet

[Luke--Oficial]

We have to admit that Mario and Luigi got incredibly unlucky in Mario party 2 because they failed on their FIRST round

[RyneMcKinney]

The stress is on, and your friendships are on the line when you get this one
