Play Hot Potato (E)(Patience) Online

Hot Potato on the GBA takes that playground panic of passing a ticking time bomb (well, a pixelated potato) and turns it into this weirdly tense little game. At first it feels silly—just tap buttons to toss the spud before it explodes—but after a few rounds, your palms get sweaty. The music speeds up, the potato starts glowing red, and suddenly you’re mashing the A button like your life depends on it.

Multiplayer’s where it really shines, though. Played this with two friends on a road trip once, and we were all yelling at each other within minutes. There’s something about the way the potato moves faster each pass that turns even polite people into backstabbing potato-hoarders. The pixel art’s cute, the rounds are short, and honestly? It’s way more fun than it has any right to be. Perfect for when you need five minutes of chaos between bus stops.
