10 Frustrating Mario Party Moments That Ruined Friendships

8. Bowser's Bigger Blast

A lot of the minigames, which are usually played in between turns to gain coins, are fun and competitive, requiring a level of skill and practice to defeat your fellow players.

And then there are games like Bower's Bigger Blast that are just pure random. 

In this truly evil minigame, which is another one of the Bowser space options, we have a giant Bowser balloon and five pumps. One of those is connected to the balloon and will cause it to explode. When it's your turn, you go up and press down on one of them, hoping it doesn't blow up in your face and kill you. 

That's it. You have no information at all that you can use in making your decision. You just have to take a guess and pick a pump. This keeps going until only one player remains, and that lone survivor is declared the winner.

The minigame can be kind of fun in a messed up, Russian Roulette type way, but only if you're the one who happened to get lucky and choose the right colored pumps. When you're on the edge of your seat and lose the game because of something completely out of your control, this thing will have you boiling.
