Bowser's Lovely Lift!
Template:Minigame-infobox Bowser's Lovely Lift! is a boss minigame in Mario Party 7. It is the only minigame that is unlockable only in the Solo Cruise, and the only minigame in the entire series where the option to turn off minigames featuring only CPU players does not function (excluding 4-Player and Battle minigames).
Gameplay
The object of the game is to make it to the 100th floor while avoiding Bowser, who attacks the player. To beat this game, the player must hit four Dice Blocks, and the elevator goes up a number of floors based on the total roll. For example, on one turn, if the player rolls a 7, a 9, a 10, and a second 10, they advance to the 36th floor. The total number of floors a player can progress on one turn is 40.
After the 50th floor, a Koopa Kid appears and assists Bowser in attacking. Their attacks include shooting three fireballs and three missiles, and when Koopa Kid appears, they may shoot a laser beam.
The player automatically loses if they get hit by any of Bowser's or Koopa Kid's attacks. However, in the Solo Cruise, the game tracks the floor the player lost on, and allows them (or the opponent) to resume the minigame from that point when they continue it upon returning to it later. The player wins if the 100th floor is reached, even if there are additional numbers remaining on the Dice Blocks.
