Snowflake Lake

Snowflake Lake is a board in the game Mario Party 6. The board is a winter wonderland similar to Chilly Waters from Mario Party 3. This snowy board is surrounded by colorful evergreen trees (but some are also orange and red-colored), dog houses, and a few snowmen, along with a ski lift at the top-right corner of the board, and ice sculptures of a penguin, Mario, and his 8-bit form. In the center of the board is a small frozen pond that contains what appears to be the skeleton of a Bone Dragon. A Whomp blocks a path in front of an Orb Shop, and charges 10 coins for people to pass. Going this way will take the player to the right side of the frozen pond.

Landing on one of the two Green Spaces at the top of the board will make a snowman throw a large snowball that will roll along the path. This is again similar to the big Mr. Blizzard from Chilly Waters, although there is no way to avoid this one. As it goes, it will capture any players that are in the way and takes them back to the start. Landing on a ? Space next to the frozen pond activates a coin game. The rules are different depending on the time of day. During the daytime, Brighton will toss coins down to the players, who grabbed them while skating, until time was called. At night, players throw snowballs at each other to knock coins out of them for the taking.

Other things happen depending on the time of day too. The dog houses on the board are home to Chain Chomps. During the daytime, players can ride Chain Chomps at the cost of 20 coins for a Dice Block and move that many spaces from the dog house. For every player that the Chain Chomp passes, a star is stolen from the victim and is given to the player riding the Chain Chomp. At night, players could use 3 dice blocks (10 for one dice block, 20 for two, and 30 for three) to ride it. This is later used in Mario Party 7's board Pyramid Park, but the third option was excluded. Also during the night, large Freezies appeared blocking the paths to the middle of the board. They will melt when daylight comes.

The board has a lot of Duel Spaces. In fact, it is the only board in the game where a Duel Space can be reached on the first turn.

Trivia

 * Snowflake Lake is the first of three boards in the series with a fixed number of attainable Stars, with the other two being Windmillville and Koopa's Tycoon Town.
