Mario Party #10 The first game of the Mario Party series.

Mario's Rainbow Castle

Mario's Rainbow Castle is Mario's board. It is placed on clouds with multiple towers, and is sky-themed. The main feature of this board is that the location of the Star does not change each time a player receives one. Instead, it is always located on the main tower of the map. Each time a player does receive a Star, however, the tower rotates, revealing Bowser. When the player reaches the tower while Bowser is there, he charges 40 coins for a Ztar. Unlike their later appearances, they do not affect the star count, merely serving to waste the 40 coins. The tower can also be rotated by any player landing on a Happening Space.

Mario's Rainbow Castle is Mario's game board in Mario Party. It is heavily based off of Tower of the Wing Cap and Wing Mario Over the Rainbow from Super Mario 64, as well as the Wing Cap in general. Players need to collect Stars to restore the great rainbow of the castle. The board is a one-way path to the middle of the board (with 2 junctions). Players who make it to the center ride Fwoosh up to the tower, where either Toad or Bowser wait. Toad doles out the Stars as usual, but if players reach Bowser, he awards them with a Ztar at the cost of 40 coins (which will not add to their Star total). After getting either Star, the tower switches, replacing Toad with Bowser and vice versa, and Lakitu takes the player back to start. The Happening Space can be used to force the tower to turn around before a player reaches it.

At the end of the game, the winner's Stars form a large Star that makes a series of rainbows across the board, followed by a rainbow path from Fwoosh's center platform. The winner, as well as the players in 2nd and 3rd place go up the rainbow path to celebrate the victory along with Toad, Koopa, Boo, Fwoosh, and the Star. The player in 4th place attempts to travel up the rainbow too, but slips, falls, and is carried away by Lakitu.

DK's Jungle Adventure

Players aim to collect Stars in order to locate the mysterious treasure that is locked away in the jungle's ancient ruins. Four Whomps are guarding the junctions; to pass, a player must pay 10 Coins. Landing on a Happening Space triggers a rolling boulder which in turn chases down any players standing in its way all the way to the path near the start of the board. If a player happens to meet Bowser on this board, they are "awarded" a useless Golden Bowser Statue and are forced to pay him 10 coins.

DK's Jungle Adventure is Donkey Kong's board in Mario Party. It has an easy difficulty because it is ranked 1 out of 3 stars. The only other board with the same difficulty as this is Mario's Rainbow Castle. This board is formally considered the first of the game. It is also the only stage with two Boos.

The board involves four players who compete to find Stars to open a chest in the ancient ruins; it can only be opened by the player with the most Stars.

At the end of the game, the winner joins all of their Stars together to form a giant one, which acts as a key for opening the chest. It contains a golden banana bunch, which the winner is rewarded with. The players in second and third place receive a Toad, Koopa, a Boo and a Whomp watch. The player in fourth place is chased down the board by a rolling boulder.

Difficulty

Events

• Three Whomps guard the junctions on the board. If a player encounters one, they can pay ten Coins to access the path. Whomp continues to block the same path against other players unless they also pay. If a player does not pay Whomp, it blocks the other path after they move past it, which opens the initial path for the three other players.
• If a player encounters a Coin Stone, they can only pass it if they have 20 Coins. In that case, the Coin Stone hides and the player can decide on a path to take. If they do not have 20 Coins, nothing happens.
• If the player chooses to take Bowser's path (behind a Coin Stone) they are forced to buy a useless Gold-plated Bowser Statue for ten Coins.
• If a player lands on one of the nine Happening Spaces spread throughout the board, a boulder begins to roll from the north-east, then left, then down where it passes on Bowser's path. Any players in the path of the rolling boulder try to escape it, but end up at the start.

There are no Chance Spaces initially on the board, though every time a Star is bought from Toad, a Chance Space replaces the space he was on.

Peach's Birthday Cake

Peach's birthday cake is Princess Peach's board. It is the smallest map of the ones available in Mario Party. Its main feature is the Flower Lottery, hosted by Goomba, where a player plants a red, blue, yellow, or green seed (at the cost of 10 coins) and grows a flower. Three flowers have a Toad face, while one flower has a Bowser face on it. After all four seeds are planted, four new ones can be chosen. This is run by a Goomba, who says if a player gets the Bowser face, they will "win" the lottery and go to Bowser, who will sell him the Bowser cake, one of Bowser's bogus items, for 20 coins. If one gets a Toad face one will "lose" the lottery and go in the direction of the Star. If a player lands on a Happening Space, they have the opportunity to plant a "Strawberry Seed" at the cost of 30 coins, which grows into a Piranha Plant. Once planted, if another player with stars lands on the Happening Space with the Piranha Plant there, it will steal a star from that player, and give it to the player that planted it.

Peach's Birthday Cake is Princess Peach's board in Mario Party. The players compete on a large two-layered cake. It is made by the princess herself according to Toad as well as the ribbon on the side of the cake. It has 2 Stars of difficulty out of 3, meaning it's not either easy or difficult. At the end of the game the winner's Stars form into a large star causing the cake to light up. The winner as well as the players in second and third stand on the cake. The losing player is seen getting attacked by a Piranha Plant.

Difficulty

Layout

This board has a lot of Happening Spaces on the exterior floor of the main cake. However, Blue Spaces still appear on that floor and are predominant in other areas. The Star Space is also stationary, atop the cake in the center of the board and the six playable characters are made out of fondant, with five being on top of the cake while one of Peach is in the bowl of colorful sweets (presumably Jordan almonds).

The cake is double layered, with the player going onto the second layer via a "bridge." In addition, aside from the cake itself, there is also a partially bitten hot-fudge whipped sundae nearby that houses Bowser where he provides his Bowser Cake that is inedible. This area can only be accessed if the player "wins" the flower lottery (ie, they get a flower depicting Bowser's face on it).

During the game's ending, aside from the cake having candles, the hot fudge whipped sundae is depicted as whole.

Events

• When the player reaches Goomba, they must pay 10 Coins (or all their Coins if they have 10 or less) to play a game called the Flower Lottery. There are four seeds of different colors (red, blue, yellow and green) and the player must bloom one (after blooming a whole set, another set appears). Three of them have Toad's face imprinted inside them: if the player finds one, they'll "lose" and take the Star's path. However, if the player chooses the seed with Bowser's face, they'll "win" and are forced to proceed to Bowser's cake.
• If the player lands on a Happening Space, they can bury a Strawberry Seed for 30 Coins, that then grows in a Piranha Plant (similar to a Piranha Pod). If a player lands on this space, the unlucky player will lose a Star that the burier will gain. The plant will then disappear, unless the target has no Star, in which case the plant will do nothing anyway. Technically, they act similar to Boos in other boards. In Mario Party 7, the Red Boo orb functions identically to the Piranha Plants, even costing 30 coins to acquire.
• Bowser is on his cake. It can be reached by losing at Goomba's lottery. When the player stops by, they will get a Bowser Cake for 20 Coins. It is completely useless and highly reduces the probability of the player to get a Star when they'll return to the main cake.

Yoshi's Tropical Island

Yoshi's Tropical Island is Yoshi's board. Consisting of Watermelon Island, Cantalope Island, and a small island in the middle, it was said that many Yoshis live here, but only two are shown in the middle of the board. A Pink Yoshi is on the small island and is surrounded by whirlpools, with a Blue Yoshi who cannot do anything about it. Players aim to collect stars to get rid of the whirlpools and reunite the two Yoshis. The Happening Spaces make Bubba the fish take Toad to the opposite island, Bowser taking his place. Bowser sells defective Bowser Tubes to players for 30 coins. Two Thwomps block both ways to the opposite island, and request fees from players if they want to pass. The fee always starts at one coin, but goes up by one coin each time until it reaches the limit of 50 coins to pass.

Yoshi's Tropical Island is Yoshi's board in Mario Party. It consists of Watermelon Island on the left, Cantaloupe Island on the right (both islands are shaped like two Yoshis), two adjoining bridges, and a small island in the middle.

Many Yoshis are said to live here, though only two are shown on the board (three if one of the players selects Yoshi). A Pink Yoshi is on the small island and is surrounded by whirlpools, while a Blue Yoshi is watching from Watermelon Island, unable to do anything about it. Players need to collect Stars to get rid of the whirlpools and reunite the two Yoshis.

At the end of the game, the winner's Stars get rid of the whirlpools and form a bridge for the Blue Yoshi to cross to meet his friend on the small island. The winner quickly comes to the island as well, and the players in second and third place, Toad, Koopa, Boo, a Thwomp, and the Star follow. The player in fourth place tries to join them, but is captured and taken away by Bubba. Unlike other boards, the individual Stars do not merge into one big Star.

Difficulty

Layout

The board is divided into two islands with two one-way toll bridges between each one, with no other branching paths. This ensures that a player must pass either Toad or Bowser every time they circle an island, and must remain on the same island if they cannot afford to pay the toll to cross.

Events

• Stepping on the Happening Spaces will cause Bubba the fish to take Toad to the opposite island, and Bowser will come to the spot where Toad was.
• If a player passes Bowser, he will force them to buy a defective Bowser Tube for 30 Coins.
• Two Thwomps block the bridges to the opposite island, and request a fee from players if they want to pass to the other island. The fee always starts at 1 Coin, but goes up by at least one Coin each time (at payers' discretion) until it reaches the limit of 50 Coins to pass.

Wario's Battle Canyon

Wario's Battle Canyon is Wario's board. It is set on a canyon that has been split into four areas with Bowser's area in the middle. Players aim to collect stars to stop the feud between the Bob-omb Buddies and the Bob-ombs. To get around the board, players are placed into cannons and fired to another area; the area they are sent to is determined by a spinning wheel. If a player lands on a Happening Space, the Bob-ombs will switch the directions of the cannons. Bowser's area can only be reached by asking the Fly Guy in the northeast area to carry the character conversing with him to Bowser for ten coins. Bowser also has a cannon in this area to replace his bogus item. However, instead of firing at a specific part of the board, Bowser will just fire a character at a random spot.

Wario's Battle Canyon is Wario's board in Mario Party. It is set, as the name implies, on a canyon that has been split into five areas: Four areas in the corners of the screen with Bowser's area in the middle. Players need to collect Stars to stop the feud between the Bob-omb Buddies and the Bob-ombs. When a player gets a Star, Toad will explain the situation behind the feud and hint towards the use of the Stars on this board.

At the end of the game, the winner's Stars form into a large Star that goes over to a cannon and fires by itself, producing fireworks. The winner is then escorted by the black and red Bob-ombs, showing their flag of peace. The players in 2nd and 3rd place, Toad, Koopa, Boo, Fly Guy, and the Star accompany them. The player in 4th place gets shot out of Bowser's cannon (ironically, this is the only time Bowser's cannon is fired).

Difficulty

Layout

The board is split into five unconnected platforms: Two controlled by the Red Bob-ombs, two controlled by the Black Bob-ombs, and one in the middle controlled by Bowser. The Red Bob-omb platforms initially contain only Blue Spaces and Mini-Game Spaces, while the Black Bob-omb platforms contain all types of spaces except the Mini-Game Spaces. Bowser's platform has only six Mini-Game spaces and one single Blue Space.

Events

• Whenever a player passes a Red or a Black Bob-omb, they are forced into the cannon and fired to another area (like in Super Mario 64), where the space landed on is picked by a roulette-like sequence. The cannons are aimed in the following sequence: From the bottom-left platform to the bottom-right, from there to the top-left, from there to the top-right, and from there back to the bottom-left.
• If a player lands on a Happening Space, the Bob-ombs will switch directions of the cannons, reversing the order in which they send the player from one platform to the next.
• Bowser's area can only be reached by asking the Fly Guy in the northeast area to carry the character conversing with him to Bowser for 10 coins. The player may instead pay the Fly Guy 10 Coins to bring any other character to that spot on the board.
• Bowser has a cannon in his area as his bogus item. However, instead of firing at a specific part of the board (or even out of the cannon), Bowser will have the player look away and use his claws to launch the character at a random area for a mandatory 20 Coins (or all their Coins if they have 20 or less).

Luigi's Engine Room

Luigi's Engine Room is Luigi's board. Players need to collect stars to power up the engine in the middle of the room (but actually in the back of the playing board). The main feature is the board-wide system of red and blue doors. One set rises up to block specific paths while the other set goes down to open other paths. The doors switch at the start of every turn, when players land on certain Happening Spaces, or if a robot on the board is paid 20 coins to switch them. ? spaces on steam generators near the engine make steam rise up out of the respective generator, propelling players to a higher section. Players that go to Bowser will see his "Make As Many Coins As You Want Mecha" in action. They will get a coin from Bowser, at the cost of 20 coins. No matter where the players go, all paths end in Warp Pipes that lead to Boo, who is near the start.

Luigi's Engine Room is Luigi's board in Mario Party. It has 3 stars of difficulty out of 3, meaning it is a difficult board. Players need to collect Stars to power up the engine in the middle of the room (but actually in the rear of the playing board). The main feature is the board-wide system of red and blue doors. One set rises up to block specific paths, while the other set goes down to open other paths. The doors switch at the start of every turn, when players land on certain Happening Spaces, or if a robot on the board called Pisudon is paid 20 coins to switch them. Happening Spaces on steam generators near the engine make steam rise up out of the respective generator, propelling players to a higher section. Players that are sent to Bowser see his "Make As Many Coins As You Want Mecha" in action. At the cost of 20 coins, players receive a free coin. No matter where the players go, all paths end in Warp Pipes that lead to Boo, who is near the start. Any time the players buy a Star, the space that Toad was on becomes a Chance Space.

At the end of the game, the winner's Stars form into a large star that goes over to the engine and powers it up. It is revealed that the engine and surrounding board are located inside a wooden airship (as seen in Rainbow Ride in Super Mario 64 and later Rainbow Cruise in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Brawl, and Ultimate), with the winner standing at the front of the ship. The players in second and third place, Toad, Koopa Troopa, Boo, and the Star accompany them, while the player in fourth place stays in the engine room and is burned by the steam generators while Bowser laughs at their torture.

Bowser's Magma Mountain

Bowser's Magma Mountain is Bowser's board, taking place on the summit of a gigantic volcano. The main feature of the board involves various stone heads that offer shortcuts throughout the board for 10 coins. If the player accepts, a roulette block will appear containing either Bowser's face or a Star. If the latter is hit, the player is allowed to take the shortcut. However, if they choose Bowser's face, the player is forced to continue on their original path. Eventually, the player will reach a purple-colored Stone Head, who will offer the same roulette block, except free of charge. This time, however, if the player selects Bowser's Face, they will automatically follow a path directly to Bowser, who will steal items from the player. This board is only available if bought for 980 coins and after all other boards are played at least once.

Bowser's Magma Mountain is Bowser's unlockable board in Mario Party. It is purchasable from the Mushroom Shop for 980 coins. Players need to collect Stars to "defeat" Bowser. The board is set on a huge volcano with a one-way path to the top of the board, but with many junctions. Every junction has a green volcano-head statue with a Star sign, and Bowser's face. Bowser's voice is heard, asking players if they want to take a shortcut up the mountain for 10 coins. If the player accepts, then they must pay the fee, and a roulette block will appear showing a Star and Bowser's face. If the player gets the Star, they are allowed to take the shortcut. However, if they get Bowser's face, they have to continue on their present route with no refund. A purple volcano-head statue is on the top of the mountain, and is the most important one. When a player gets here, they are forced to hit another roulette block (this one free of charge). Getting the Star picture takes them to Boo, and Bowser's face takes them to Bowser, where he steals either 20 coins, or a Star (depending on yet another roulette block). If a player steps on a Happening Space, the volcano erupts, sending flaming rocks on the board and turning all the Blue Spaces into Red Spaces for two turns. If a player buys a Star, the space the Star is bought from becomes a Chance Space.

At the end of the game, the winner's Stars form into a large Star that charges up, and destroys the volcano part of the mountain that Bowser is in, sending him flying upward and falling back down on his side. As Bowser wallows in pain, the winner jumps on him, then in front of him, as the players in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th watch. Toad, Koopa, Boo, and the Star soon joins them.

Eternal Star

On this space-themed board, players move around the star using warp stations and must retrieve stars from seven Baby Bowsers. Upon reaching a Baby Bowser, players must pay their 20 coins and roll higher than him to get a star. The player's Dice Block can roll 8-10 but Baby Bowser's can roll any number. If the player wins, they get a star, but if they lose, they lose a star. In the center of the star is Bowser; upon reaching him, he takes a star from the player who reached him. This board can be unlocked from the shop for 100 Stars and will only appear after all of the other boards have been played once.

Eternal Star is the final board in Mario Party. It is unlocked by collecting 100 Stars and completing all other boards at least once. The board is a giant Star that was broken up by Bowser, and he also wrote graffiti on it. Players need to collect stars to put the giant Star back together. Instead of Toad, players have to get the Stars from Bowser's cohorts, the Koopa Kids (called Baby Bowsers in this game). To get Stars from them, players will have to pay the Koopa Kid 20 Coins as usual. However, this will cause the Koopa Kid to challenge the player to a Dice Block game, where the character with the higher number wins. The player's Dice Block is rigged to roll only numbers from 8-10, so it is easy to win. If the player wins, the Koopa Kid gives up the Star, and leaves, leaving a Chance Space behind. If the Koopa Kid wins, he takes a Star from the player. When all 7 of the Koopa Kids are dispatched, 7 more will appear. The Happening Space makes Bowser use his magic to send all the players back to the start. The board is made up of a system of warp machines that connect at the Warp Patterns made by Bowser. If a player is unlucky enough to get to Bowser, he steals a star (or 20 coins if they don't have a star), sends them back to start, then change the routes of the Warp Machines.

At the end of the game, the winner's stars form into a large star that blasts Bowser and Koopa Kid into outer space, and the Giant Star is then put back together. It zooms into an endless warp, taking the winner, the players in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, Toad, Koopa Troopa, Boo, and the Star along for the ride.
