Boo's Horror Castle

Boo's Horror Castle is one of the seven boards of Mario Party 9. The players ride in a magic carpet-like vehicle. The captain seems to be holding a lantern. The miniboss of this board which is fought in a boss castle is a giant Dry Bones. The actual boss which is fought at the top of the castle and through a Bowser Gate is the dreadful King Boo.

The players start out in the front yard of the castle. They ride up the steps and through the front door. They arrive in a room which they navigate through. The players eventually ride out the left side which is where the boss castle is and where the Dry Bones is fought. After that the players enter the castle again. The players head through some rooms and then up more stairs. The players eventually reach the the roof which they navigate through and finally reach the uppermost tower where the bowser gate and King Boo are located. In order to fight King Boo, each player must roll high numbers to reach a certain number to open a gate to fight him. The main gimmick that appears most here are the Boos that come out of mysterious pictures. These particular boos follow the players, and the boos also roll a dice. If they hit the captain player, the player will lose Mini Stars. The castle has many rooms such as: Lobby, Kitchen, Front Yard, Left Yard, etc. All the rooms may be a reference to Luigi's Mansion.

Dry Bones Battle
The players start on a rock platform. Dry Bones appears then leaps into the air. A lot of cards appear on the screen then flip. The player must memorize what colour is on each cards. Dry Bones lands on a colour. The players must choose which colour Dry Bones is on to damage him. The more damaged Dry Bones is the more colours appear. Sometimes the cards moved when they appear.

King Boo Battle
The battle starts out showing the inside of a tower in Boo's Horror Castle. King Boo appears and the battle begins. The players must line-up pictures of power-ups. Once three are in a row, they will fly at King Boo doing damage. If the player lines up three Lightning Bolts, they will unleash a powerful attack giving the player ten points. Once King Boo is at orange HP, he will send Boos to do his bidding. The Boos chase the player's marker. If the Boos capture the player's marker, it will freeze and the player will have to shake the Wii Remote to break out.
