Bowser Time

"It's everybody's favorite time, BOWSER TIME!"

- Bowser

Bowser Time is an event in the game Mario Party 7, occuring every five turns. It only happens in the mode Party Cruise. Each turn, after every mini-game, the gauge will increase by 20%. When the gauge is full, it's Bowser Time. Then when the last 5 turns comes in, the gauge will not appear on the screen. Depending on the number of turns in a match, Bowser Time may occur once, or up to nine times.

Bowser will do any number of events on different boards. On all the boards except Bowser's Enchanted Inferno, one of the things Bowser can do is take a picture of the players, and make them pay 10 or 20 coins for it. In Grand Canal, Pagoda Peak and Pyramid Park, another thing he might do is take over an Orb Shop and forcibly sell stuff for unfair prices; then, once Bowser leaves, Koopa Kid takes whatever the player was forced to purchase. The other things Bowser does are specific to individual boards, as listed below:


 * Grand Canal
 * He might destroy the bridges on the board and build his own bridges with Bowser Spaces on them.
 * Pagoda Peak
 * He might force the players down a few spaces.
 * He might smash a bridge so a player gets stuck on the other side.
 * Pyramid Park
 * He might destroy the bridges on the board that will make players stay on one side for a whole three turns.
 * He might take a Star from the player in first place and give it to one of the Koopa Kids.
 * Neon Heights
 * He might steal coins from all the players and put them in a chest that will randomly be placed anywhere on the board.
 * He might steal stars from the player in first and put it in the chest already containing a star.
 * He might put a Ztar in a chest.
 * Windmillville
 * He might destroy a windmill and build a new one.
 * He might send a Koopa Kid to rob a windmill.
 * Bowser's Enchanted Inferno
 * He will always sink the island with the Star.
