'''Mario's Rainbow Castle''' is [[Mario]]'s gameboard in ''[[Mario Party]]''. The cloudy board looks pretty already, but players needed to collect stars to restore the great rainbow of the castle. The board is a one-way path to the middle of the board (with 2 junctions). Players that made it to the center would ride [[Fwoosh]] up to the tower, where either [[Toad]], or [[Bowser]] waited. Toad gave out the stars as usual, but if players made it to Bowser, he awarded them with a fake black star ([[Ztar]]) at the cost of 40 coins! After getting either star, [[Lakitu]] took the player back to start. The [[? Space]] made the tower turn around, replacing Toad with Bowser, and vice versa.

'''Mario's Rainbow Castle''' is [[Mario]]'s board in ''[[Mario Party]]''. It is heavily based off of [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] and [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', as well as the [[Wing Cap]] in general. Players need to collect [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s to restore the great rainbow of the castle. The board is a one-way path to the middle of the board (with two junctions). Players who make it to the center ride [[Fwoosh]] up to the tower, where either [[Toad]] or [[Bowser]] wait. Toad doles out the Stars as usual, but if players reach Bowser, he awards them with a [[Ztar]] at the cost of 40 [[coin]]s (which will not subtract from their Star total), though they will regain coins upon returning to the start immediately afterwards. After obtaining either Star, the tower switches, replacing Toad with Bowser and vice versa, and [[Lakitu]] takes the player back to start. The [[Event Space|Happening Space]] can be used to force the tower to turn around before a player reaches it.


At the end of the game, the winner's stars formed into a large star that created a magnificent rainbow all over the board. The winner, and the players in 2nd and 3rd place went up the rainbow to celebrate the victory along with Toad, [[Koopa]], [[Boo]], the cloud, and the Star. The players in 3rd and 4th place tries to go up the rainbow too, but he and she slips, falls, and is carried away together by Lakitu.
This is the only board in the game designed as a traditional start-to-finish style board map, while the others go all-around before the players meet up with Koopa Troopa.


==Trivia==
At the end of the game, the winner's Stars form a large Star that paints a series of rainbows across the board, followed by a rainbow path from Fwoosh's center platform. The winner, as well as the players in 2nd and 3rd place go up the rainbow path to celebrate the victory along with Toad, [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]], [[Boo]], Fwoosh, and the Star. The player in 4th place attempts to travel up the rainbow too, but slips, falls, and is carried away by Lakitu.


*This board was most likely inspired by the course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' named "[[Tower of the Wing Cap]]". Mario is also seen wearing a [[Wing Cap]] in the map's cast artwork (as seen below).

“Take a magical trip to a castle in the clouds. This board consists of a single path that the players must follow to reach the castle. However, when someone reaches the castle, Toad and Bowser switch places.”
—Mario Party instruction booklet
“The castle you see from here was once a beautiful castle called Rainbow Castle. But the rainbow disappeared, and even the name Rainbow Castle has been forgotten. With your own hands, you must reveal the shining Rainbow Castle once more! I have one piece of advice! In the castle, Toad may change places with Bowser.”
—Koopa Troopa, Mario Party

Mario's Rainbow Castle is Mario's board in Mario Party. It is heavily based off of Tower of the Wing Cap and Wing Mario Over the Rainbow from Super Mario 64, as well as the Wing Cap in general. Players need to collect Stars to restore the great rainbow of the castle. The board is a one-way path to the middle of the board (with two junctions). Players who make it to the center ride Fwoosh up to the tower, where either Toad or Bowser wait. Toad doles out the Stars as usual, but if players reach Bowser, he awards them with a Ztar at the cost of 40 coins (which will not subtract from their Star total), though they will regain coins upon returning to the start immediately afterwards. After obtaining either Star, the tower switches, replacing Toad with Bowser and vice versa, and Lakitu takes the player back to start. The Happening Space can be used to force the tower to turn around before a player reaches it.

This is the only board in the game designed as a traditional start-to-finish style board map, while the others go all-around before the players meet up with Koopa Troopa.

At the end of the game, the winner's Stars form a large Star that paints a series of rainbows across the board, followed by a rainbow path from Fwoosh's center platform. The winner, as well as the players in 2nd and 3rd place go up the rainbow path to celebrate the victory along with Toad, Koopa, Boo, Fwoosh, and the Star. The player in 4th place attempts to travel up the rainbow too, but slips, falls, and is carried away by Lakitu.
