- “Welcome to Toad's Midway Madness! I'm Toad, and I'll be your guide. I love amusement parks, so I designed my board to look just like one! Please enjoy the fun rides, and leave your worries behind!”
- —Toad, Mario Party 4
Toad's Midway Madness is an amusement park board hosted by Toad in Mario Party 4. He built it because he loves amusement parks and wanted his friends to have fun in it. Here, Toads host the games and shops (the one hosting the match wears stripe pants and a bow tie).
The main attractions here are the roller coaster and the tea cup rides. Players are allowed to go across the coaster tracks, but stepping on the Happening Spaces on the tracks causes the rocket kart to chase them down to the left or right sides of the board (depending on where the kart is at the time). Comically, chased players run along the loop-de-loop. If the roller coaster is available, indicated by a Toad on a mushroom-patterend platform near a pass-through space, players can also ride the roller coaster for five coins to the other side. Riding the roller coaster gives the player a chance to get some coins on the way (they can collect coins by tilting their ride left or right with 
) and chase down other players on the tracks.
The tea cup rides are located at two major junctions. Every time a player goes on them, they are taken to one of the two directions that the arrow was pointing, then the direction changes to the other path. If the player lands on the Happening Space after the ride, the direction changes back to the original path the player was going. Mega characters can ride teacups, although they temporarily flatten them. The first tea cup ride can potentially trap one or two players in a 14-space loop in the bottom-right corner of the board for several turns, with little options for these players except to waste turns landing on Blue and Mushroom Spaces, and the Warp Space's being the best bet for players to leave. The section is also a prime spot for players with the Warp Pipe to trap an opponent.
The Item Minigame of the board, the Merry-Go-Game, involves a merry-go-round. Players have to stop their horse they are riding on, then wait for the pictures of the 4 items to stop. The player wins the item whose picture is facing them. The Coin Minigame, the Space Rocket Game, involves a rocket ship ride. Players pick one of three rocket ships, which takes them to one of the coin amounts at the top. They players get the amount of coins that they land on.
In Story Mode, if players beat their opponents on the board, Toad challenges them to a minigame called Bowser Bop in order to win his present.
In the background of this board, Steamer can be seen circling the entire board that will show up from time to time depending on where the characters are and where Steamer is.
