Goomba Bowling is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9. It made a reappearance in Mario Party: The Top 100.

Gameplay[]

In this minigame, players try to knock over as many Goombas as possible. It is like bowling but with moving Goombas substituting for the bowling pins. Players need to time their shots carefully, as the Goombas move from side to side. If the player hits every Goomba, they earn a perfect score of 20 points, i.e. a strike. Players have 15 seconds to make each shot.

There is an Extra Mode version of the minigame. This version consists of five frames for each player. They get two tries to take out all the Goombas for each frame, and the player with the highest number of points when the minigame is finished becomes the winner. Bonus Points can be earned if all of the Goombas are taken out, a Strike earns 20 points and a Spare earns 10. It is possible to get a perfect score of 200 if the player gets a strike on every round.
