'''Yoshi's Tropical Island''' is [[Yoshi]]'s board in ''[[Mario Party]]''. It consists of Watermelon Island on the left, Cantaloupe Island on the right (both islands are shaped like two Yoshis), two adjoining bridges, and a small island in the middle.

Many [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] are said to live here, though only two are shown on the board (three if one of the players selects Yoshi). A Pink Yoshi is on the small island and is surrounded by whirlpools, while a Blue Yoshi is watching from Watermelon Island, unable to do anything about it. Players need to collect Stars to get rid of the whirlpools and reunite the two Yoshis.  

At the end of the game, the winner's [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s get rid of the whirlpools and form a bridge for the Blue Yoshi to cross to meet his friend on the small island. The winner quickly comes to the island as well, and the players in second and third place, [[Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]], [[Boo]], a Thwomp, and the Star follow. The player in fourth place tries to join them, but is captured and taken away by [[Cheep Cheep#Mario Party|Bubba]]. Unlike other boards, the individual Stars do not merge into one big Star.

This board returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. In this game, the Yoshi on the central island is red, the island is surrounded by [[Cheep Cheep]]s instead of whirlpools, and Bubba is replaced by [[Cheep Chomp]]. Several [[Urchin]]s can be seen floating in the water, and there is a [[Huckit Crab]] on the beach of Cantaloupe Island. There is now an [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]] run by [[Toad (species)|Yellow Toad]] on Watermelon Island.<ref>Nintendo. (September 23, 2021).

The board is divided into two islands with two one-way toll bridges between each one, with no other branching paths. This ensures that a player must pass either Toad or Bowser every time they circle an island, and must remain on the same island if they cannot afford to pay the toll to cross.

*Stepping on the [[Event Space|Happening Space]]s will cause [[Cheep Cheep#Mario Party|Bubba]] the fish to take [[Toad]] to the opposite island, and Bowser will come to the spot where Toad was.

*If a player passes Bowser, he will force them to buy a defective [[Bowser's bogus items#Bowser Tube|Bowser Tube]] for 30 [[Coin]]s.

*Two [[Thwomp]]s block the bridges to the opposite island, and request a fee from players if they want to pass to the other island. The fee always starts at 1 Coin, but goes up by at least one Coin each time (at payers' discretion) until it reaches the limit of 50 Coins to pass.

The following table shows how many spaces there are on the board, and how many there are of a certain type.
