Itadaki Street DS

Itadaki Street DS is a game for the Nintendo DS. It was created by Square Enix. Like other installments in the Itadaki Street series, Itadaki Street DS is a -like game that has some Mario Party-esque elements added to it due to the appearance of several Super Mario characters (minigames, for example). It was released on June 21, 2007 only in Japan.

A follow-up to this game, titled Fortune Street, was released internationally for the Wii in December 2011.

Gameplay
Players move around the board, buying shops and collecting money from others who land on their shop spaces. Depending on circumstances, some players can forcibly take over another player's shop spaces, or make them inactive for a turn. Players can also hold shares of a block of spaces so that they get paid when someone lands on any space in that block, even if it is not their own.

Players get bonuses for leveling up, which is done by passing four special spaces on the board (each marked with a suit- Club, Diamond, Heart, and Spade) and then going to the Bank space. If the player lands on one of these special spaces instead of passing them, they get a chance to randomly draw a "chance card", which affects gameplay or a player. Usually, the goal is to reach a certain total property value and get to the Bank, or to make a player bankrupt. There is also a special "Casino" space where themed games of chance occur.

Squares

 * Shop: The player can use his money to buy it. If this shop is owned by somebody else, the player must pay its price. If this shop is already owned by the one that lands on it, he can invest money in one of his shops.
 * Boon Square: The player gets a quarter of all the fees for one turn.
 * Boom Square: The player gets the half of all the fees for one turn.
 * Vacant Plot: The player can build anything on it.
 * Casino: The player can play a minigame and win some money, stocks or suits.
 * Break Square: All the player's shops get closed for a turn.
 * Suit Square: The player gets a suit and chooses a chance card if he lands on it.
 * Chance Square: The player chooses a chance card.
 * Cannon Square: The player goes to the chosen opponent's location.
 * Warp Square (Either a Warp Pipe or a Portal): The player warps to the Warp Square of the same color.
 * Switch Square: The Board's shape changes.
 * Magmalicious Square: If the Square is active, the player goes to an inactive Magmalicious Square and then it becomes inactive. It only appears in the Death Volcano.
 * Suit Change Square: The suit offered by the square is not fixed; it changes as players pass by it.
 * Die Square: The player rolls another die.
 * Bank Square: All players start and end in this square. When a player passes by this square, they may buy stocks. If the player bring the four suits to the Bank, they get a Salary and their level increases by one. When they have the goal assets, they have to go to the bank in order to win.
 * Broker Square: The player may buy stocks.

Areas and stock system
All shops are divided in many areas, each given a unique name and color. Most areas contain four shops. Shops start with a given price when players buy them and by investing into them, the price increases. The player can invest up to 999 gold into a shop at a time, but this amount is limited by the shop's max capital. If a player gets another shop in the same area as other shops owned by them, the shops' prices grow, and the player can invest more money on that shop. The player can achieve a monopoly by owning all shops in the area. Shops in monopolized areas have their value boosted and accept even bigger investments. The appearance of a shop changes based on how much gold is invested in it, though this is only cosmetic.

A player who crosses onto the bank square or stops on a broker square may buy stocks. The player can choose any area to invest gold into. Players may buy up to 99 stocks at a time and can hold a max number of 999 stocks in an area. Whenever gold is exchanged between players by landing on a shop, stockholders in that area get a bonus percentage of gold based on how many stocks they have. When gold is invested in a shop, the area's stock price may get raised and make stocks more valuable. When a shop loses value, the stock price may go down. Likewise, when a player buys or sells more than 10 stocks in an area, the price of stock in that area goes up or down by 8%, respectively. Players can sell their stocks at the start of their turn.

Players can exchange shops before rolling the die. They can choose to exchange one to two of their own shops for one to two of an opponent's shop. Gold can be added as a supplement to the deal. After the initial terms of the trade are decided, the opponent may ask for more gold, accept the terms of the deal, or decline the trade. Players may also force buyout on the opponents' shops when they land on them. To buy a shop out, the player must pay 5x its real value.

Each CPU rank invests differently:

Vacant Plots
There are special spaces with a "Sale" sign on them. In those spaces, the player can build one of the following: All vacant plots are worth 200G, and the Wood Shop is worth 1000G. Players can renovate a vacant plot whenever they want, and they get 150G for the destruction of the former building, which means that they only have to pay 50G for a normal building and 850G for a Wood Shop. Players will get 750G for the destruction of a Wood Shop. As shown before, what the AI builds in a Vacant Plot depends in the character.
 * Gate: It starts with a price of 10G, and when somebody passes by it, that player has to pay the price of the Gate and it increases by 10G. Platypunk, Slime, Birdo, Donkey Kong, Dragonlord and Bowser often build it.
 * Circus Tent: The tent price starts being 100G, and if the owner lands on it he may increase it to 500G, 1000G, and finally, 2000G. The player has to pay 100G for each investment and the Circus Tent's value also increases by 100G. Luigi, Daisy, Toad and Yangus often build it.
 * Balloon Landing: The owner can fly anywhere when he lands on it. Other players have to pay 10% of the owner's salary. Mario, Bianca, Alena, Peach and Yoshi often build it.
 * Shrine: The owner can get a 5% bonus on all his assets if he lands on it. Other players have to pay 10% of all their assets, making it one of the most expensive buildings. But it can be easily bought out with 1000G, which is a small amount of money in the late stages of the game. Pudding, Kiryl, Jessica and Angelo often build it.
 * Bar: The owner can invite everybody to a party in the bar, which means that everybody must warp to the Bar space. If other players land on it, they must give the owner a "gift" of 30GxLVL. Wario, Waluigi and Hassan often build it.
 * Real Estate Agency: The owner can buy any ownerless shop. If other players land on it, they must "sleep" and their shops close for a turn. It is the least used building in all the game and the AI buys it very rarely.
 * Wood Shop: It acts like a normal shop. But since it is worth 1000G, when it is built, the stock price of the area where it was built rises highly. A good strategy with those buildings for the player is to get more than 99 Stocks in an area where they have any building and then turn it into a Wood Shop to raise their asset value. They must have at least 850G in money, because the strategy could fail if they are prompted to sell stocks and then they have to sell most of the area's stocks and then win very little money. B, A and S-Ranked characters may use this strategy.

Characters

Minigames
When a player lands on the Casino square (Which was renamed to Arcade square in Fortune Street), that player gets to play a game of chance. There are four of them:
 * Itadaki Slot: The Player rolls a slot to get some prizes. The player must make rows of pictures to win. Three Slimes/Goombas are worth 100GxLVL, two Slimes/Goombas are worth 30GxLVL, one Slime/Goomba is worth 10GxLVL, three Wild Cards are worth one Wild Card, three Warp Pipes/Chimera Wings let the player warp to any square and three Stocks (株) give the player five Stocks x LVL in the most valuable area.
 * Amida Dokan: This game takes place in the Warp Zone from Super Mario Bros. The player must choose one of the three pipes and the pipe will either lead to coins (10GxLVL each one), a ? Block that may have coins, a mushroom that lets one of the player's shops grow, a Wild Card or a Poison Mushroom that makes the player sleep for one turn. One of the pipes leads to a Piranha Plant. If the player chooses that one, Mario loses a life and the player gets no reward.
 * Silver Tarot: The player is given some concealed Tarot cards, and they must choose two. The first card decides which players are gonna get something (The one in last place, everyone except the player, etc), and the second card decides the event. The events usually reward the player(s) with money or the effect of a boon square, except for the Grim Reaper card, that makes the player(s) sleep and plays the same fanfare that is heard when somebody gets chance card #13.
 * Monster Colosseum: A list of five Dragon Quest monsters appear, and the players must choose one of them. After the monsters are chosen, they will fight and the owner of the last monster alive wins some Gold.
