Mario Party

Hot Bob-omb is a 4-player mini-game which first appears in Mario Party. It reappears as a battle mini-game in Mario Party 2.

Gameplay[]

In this mini-game, the four players must pass around a Bob-omb before it explodes on them. The player can hold the Bob-omb as long as they want until it gets close to exploding. The players can pass it to other players depending on the direction they are throwing. The player that is caught by the Bob-omb's explosion loses the mini-game and must give up 5 coins to each of the other winning players. In the battle mini-game version, the last player standing will win.

Controls[]
