Bowser's Warped Orbit

Bowser's Warped Orbit is a board for Mario Party 8. In order to have it playable in Party Mode, one must unlock it by completing the Star Battle Mode once. This is Bowser's most unique board in the entire series, for it is a space station in outer space. However, it still goes by the laws being a "lava" board, as it is above the sun. Another difference is that Magikoopas and Toadys work here, and not the usual underlings like Goombas and Koopa Kids. The objective here was to steal Stars, with each player starting out with five. Instead of Chain Chomps as from Snowflake Lake from Mario Party 6 and Pyramid Park from Mario Party 7, players used special candy to steal from opponents: Bowser Candy and Bullet Candy.

Landing on a DK Space caused Donkey Kong to appear on a steel-keg satellite, and give the player a free Star (a piece of candy in Duel Mode). Landing on the Bowser Space cause Bowser to come down from his observation tower to steal a Star from the player.

One of the ? Spaces on the board caused Bowser to come down and chase the player all around the board. Anyone that was in the way also got chased down. The ? Space next to Kamek (not Magikoopa because he sounds different) made him use his magic to shuffle everyone's candy around, just like he did back in Mario Party 5. ? Spaces next to the warp tube (underneath the observation tower) caused players to travel the tube, and get to the other side of the board, always getting 20 coins along the way (but nothing in Duel Mode because the tube was part of the board's path, not a shortcut). All the other ? Spaces made Bowser reverse the direction the players were going.

In Duel mode, the winning conditions were to steal all of the Stars from the opponent via the Bowser and Bullet candies. During the Star Battle, if the player defeats Blooper or Hammer Brother, they will get to fight Bowser in a void-like arena.
