Here’s your Mario Party version of Hot Potato. Toss the active Bob-omb from player to player and hope you’re not the player holding the bomb when it blows. The bomb will grow in size and turn red as it gets closer to exploding.

Once the bomb explodes, that player is eliminated and is forced to give the other three players five coins each.

A version of Hot Bob-omb returns in Mario Party 2.
