'''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'''). Its name and gameplay are based on the real-world game {{wp|hot potato}}.

==Gameplay==
Players toss a lit [[Bob-omb]]. In ''Mario Party 2'', if one of the players does not catch the Bob-omb on time, that player slows down for a moment and the Bob-omb may explode if it is on the verge of doing so. If a player is holding the Bob-omb when it explodes, they are eliminated from the minigame. The Bob-omb explodes after about 30 seconds in ''Mario Party'' and after about 15 seconds in ''Mario Party 2''.

In ''Mario Party'', the minigame ends after one player loses, and that player must give five [[Coin]]s to each other player, while in ''Mario Party 2'', the minigame keeps on going until there is one player left standing.

The minigame can be purchased from the [[Mini-Game House]] for 300 Coins when it is available for purchase in ''Mario Party''.

==Trivia==
*The ''Mario Party'' version of this minigame appears to be set on the same stage as [[Bash 'n' Cash]] and [[Grab Bag]], except that a metal cage is placed all around the pit, possibly to prevent the Bob-omb from going out of bounds, or so that the players do not try escaping.
*This is one of two minigames in the original ''Mario Party'' to feature losing text, the other being [[Hot Rope Jump]].
