Rules Land

Rules Land is a special board in Mario Party 2 that serves as a tutorial, as its name implies. It takes place in the sky on a ring-shaped cloud. The cloud has a rainbow bridge over its diameter, which is used to demonstrate choosing a direction when a player reaches such a path. It is the only map not to feature the Battle Goomba's barracks. The Koopa Bank and Item Shop are featured as hot air balloons. When selecting the board, it will skip through the pipe section and automatically chooses Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Wario. The game is scripted, so every character rolls a predetermined number. This is so Toad, the host, can explain the functions of each spaces and what happens after each turn. Right before the end of the tutorial, he explains bonus stars. He also explains the Bowser Bomb's effect on Baby Bowser without mentioning the item's name. Only the explanations for blue, red, hidden block, and star spaces are accompanied with their respective events. Minigames, Chance Time, Battle, Bowser, the item shop, the Koopa Bank, Boo and other such events are explained but not demonstrated, perhaps to save the player time.
