Mario Party 8: Difference between revisions

| Players move across this board to get a star in a random location in this board. Stars always cost 20 coins each, and whenever a player obtains the star on the board, another star warps to a different location. Landing on a DK space in this board causes DK to throw the player directly towards the star and landing on a Bowser space will cause the star to warp to a different location. To win in Star Battle Arena, the player must collect two stars before their opponent does, and the stars are 20 coins each.

| Players move through this linear board to get to the end. At the end, [[Captain Goomba]] gives the star to the player for free, as a reward for reaching this far. After receiving the star, the player will get transported back to the start via gulls carrying a wooden plank. Dolphin Expresses in the course can take the player closer to Captain Goomba by paying a fee. The fee depends on what place the player is currently in, with first place having to pay the most while fourth place the least. Landing on a DK space will give the player a chance to earn coins, while landing on the Bowser space will cause the player a chance to lose coins. To win this board in Star Battle Arena, since the player's goal is to get one star from Captain Goomba costing 50 coins, the player must have that amount and reach him to trade the coins for a star before their opponent does.

| Players move through a mansion to try to find [[King Boo]] and get a star from him. Out of three rooms in the house, King Boo is in one of them. If the player stumbles in other rooms where King Boo is not hiding in, [[Red Boo]]s come and toss the player in a hole, thus making the player go back to the start of the mansion. King Boo offers the star for ten coins once the player reaches him. After paying for that, everyone is taken out of the mansion for another shuffle with different rooms in the mansion. If the player lands on a DK space, DK will cover up the hole and offer the player a free star; if the player lands on a Bowser space, Bowser will cover up the hole and will steal a star for the player who comes to any room. In Star Battle Arena, the conditions required to win is to acquire two stars from King Boo for 10 coins each.

| Players move through a train to get to the conductor of the train, who will offer a Star for 20 coins. The train board is linear, and therefore, there are no branching paths. After being offered for the star, the player travels on top of the train and back to the start, unlike Goomba's Booty Boardwalk where the player instantly travels back to the start. If someone lands on a DK space, DK will be in charge of the train and offers a free star to anyone who could make it to him. If Bowser is in charge instead when someone lands on a Bowser Space, Bowser will make the player lose a star to who ever reaches him. In Star Battle Arena, in order to win the game, since there's one star and it's 50 coins, the player must collect 50 coins and trade them over to Holly Koopa (not the conductor, who will give the player 10 coins instead) to get a star from her.  

| In this board, players invest money in hotels in order to earn stars. Investing in an amount of coins in the hotel will cause the hotel to buildup and make the amount of stars the hotel can offer to increase by one. The maximum amount of stars a hotel can carry is three. When a player lands on a Donkey Kong space, Donkey Kong will come and help invest coins. Adversely, when a player lands on a Bowser space, Bowser will take coins away from a selected hotel. In Star Battle Arena, the player has to get four stars by investing in hotels in order to win. This board is similar to the board game [[wikipedia:Monopoly|Monopoly]].

| There are no stars in this board, and so players are given five stars on Battle Royale (in a team on Tag Battle they are given ten stars). Players must use the [[Bullet Candy]] and [[Bowser Candy]] (which are exclusive to this board) to steal stars from opponents. The board is also linear; no branching paths exist (if one does not count the random branching paths in some parts of the board that the player cannot choose to take). In Star Battle Arena, the player and their opponent start off with three stars. The player wins by stealing stars from their opponent, until they have zero stars. This board is unlocked by completing the entire Star Battle.
