Bowser's bogus items
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
Bowser's Bogus Items are useless items forcibly sold to partiers by Bowser in the first Mario Party when they pass him on a board. On Luigi's Engine Room and Wario's Battle Canyon, he doesn't actually sell the player an item, but instead provides him or her with some worthless "service." The items are:
Mario's Rainbow Castle: Ztar
It should be noted that unlike Ztars later in the Mario Party series, this one does not count as a negative star. However, the Ztar costs 40 coins as opposed to a regular Star costing 20 coins.
Luigi's Engine Room:
Bowser activates his "Make As Many Coins As You Want Mecha" to create a coin for the player at the cost of 20 coins.
Peach's Birthday Cake: Bowser Cake
The Bowser Cake is one of Bowser's Bogus Items that was found in Mario Party. The player can obtain this item when playing on Peach's Birthday Cake. When a player "wins" the Goomba lottery, they are sent to Bowser, and he forcibly gives the player this item for 20 coins. It is just a spiked shell with a candle and frosting, and cannot be eaten.
In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, there was a cake for Bowser. It was with Bowser's face, Mario, Luigi and Peach. The cake is shown in the ending sequence.
Wario's Battle Canyon:
He says he will shoot the player from his Bowser Cannon, but instead uses his claws to blast the player to a random area of the board (ironically, the cannon itself is never fired until the end of the game).
