Sort or 'Splode is a type of minigame in Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros. It is one of Mario's minigames in the first and Variety minigame in the latter.

Gameplay[]

This minigame has the player dragging around the Bob-omb Buddies in the red section and the black Bob-ombs in the black section with his/her stylus.

Many Bob-ombs appear in this minigame and the more Bob-ombs put in the right section, the harder the minigame gets with more Bob-ombs coming out more quickly. If the player puts a red colored Bob-omb in the black section or a black Bob-omb in the red section, the other Bob-ombs in that specified section explodes, it is an automatic Game Over. This is also so if a Bob-omb is out the section too long and it explodes. Once forty Bob-ombs are collected, the game tallies the amount of Bob-ombs and blanks out the filled section to amke way for more Bob-ombs.

The background in-game is different in New Super Mario Bros.; metal flooring is used, but a blue laminated floor is used in Super Mario 64 DS.

The multiplayer minigame Bob-omb Sudden Death plays similarly to Sort or 'Splode.

In-game instructions[]

  • Super Mario 64 DS: "Guide Bob-ombs to the black carpet and Bob-omb Buddies to the red carpet. If you bring in a wrong-colored Bob-omb, it will blow up!"
  • New Super Mario Bros.: "Guide black Bob-ombs to the black carpet and red Bob-ombs to the red carpet. If you bring in the wrong Bob-omb, it will explode, and that's no good!"
