Volleybomb is a Duel minigame in Mario Party Advance.
In Mario Party Advance[]
In the Shroom City mode, the player faces Salvo in Volleybomb on the second floor of Duel Tower.
Gameplay[]
Both characters each hold a hammer, which they use to knock the Bob-omb at the other side. A character can either hammer the Bob-omb from the ground at an arc or spike the Bob-omb by jumping and hammering at it. For computer-controlled opponents, some of them have their own tactics. If the opponent is Peach, she acts calm in the first two rounds, but in the third round, she moves and jumps around constantly. Luigi is the opposite, aggressive in the first two rounds, then calm in the third round.
If a character misses the Bob-omb with their hammer, it detonates on the ground, causing the character to lose a heart from their health bar. The Bob-omb can explode on its own after a while, in which case the character whose side it is on loses a heart. Both characters have three hearts in their health bar, and whoever loses all of them loses, ending the minigame and ranking the other character the winner.

Trivia[]
- Volleybomb is based on the sport volleyball, of which its name is a pun on.
- The Bob-omb is always set to explode on the sixteenth hit, guaranteeing that the character who is not serving gets exploded if they do not achieve a double hit.
