Bash Multiplayer Party is a four-player party battle on your iPhone. Create a public battle, a private one, or join with a room code. You can also play solo against the CPUs. Pick a character, pick an arena, and set how many cups it takes to win and how hard the match is. The controls are on the screen: a stick on the left, the face buttons on the right, and L1 and R1 at the sides. They stay up while you play. A controller works too. Arenas include a ball court, a crystal pit, an ice round full of crates, and a desert round. Matches show four players, a timer, and a bar for each one.
