Hot Bob-omb is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party and a Battle minigame in Mario Party 2 (where it is stylized as Hot BOB-OMB).

Overview[edit]

The title and gameplay of Hot Bob-omb are based on hot potato, since it involves players tossing a Bob-omb around. If a player is holding the Bob-omb when it explodes, after about 30 seconds in Mario Party or 15 seconds in Mario Party 2, they are eliminated. If a player does not catch a Bob-omb on time in Mario Party 2, they slow down temporarily, but the Bob-omb does not necessarily explode on them. In Mario Party, Hot Bob-omb ends when one player is eliminated, and they have to give five Coins to each other player, though the Mario Party 2 version continues until only one player is left.

Hot Bob-omb can be purchased from the Mini-Game House Mario Party for 300 Coins when becomes available, or from Woody in Mario Party 2 for 700 Coins.
