Part of the Yoshi's Tropical Island map.

Yoshi's Tropical Island is Yoshi's board in Mario Party.

Consisting of Watermelon Island, Cantalope Island, and a small island in the middle, it was said that many Yoshis live here, but only two are shown in the middle of the board. A Pink Yoshi is on the small island and is surrounded by whirlpools, with a Blue Yoshi who can't do anything about it. Players needed to collect stars to get rid of the whirlpools and reunite the two Yoshis. The ? Spaces make Bubba the fish take Toad to the opposite island, and Bowser will come to where Toad was, selling defective Bowser Tubes to players for 30 coins. Two Thwomps block both ways to the opposite island, and requests a fee from players if they wanted to pass. The fee always started at 1 coin, but went up by one coin each time until it reached the limit of 50 coins to pass.

At the end of the game, the winner's stars get rid of the whirlpools (unlike other boards, the individual stars do not merge into one big star on this board), and form a bridge for the Blue Yoshi to cross to meet his friend on the small island. The winner quickly joins them, and players in second and third place, Toad, Koopa, Boo, a Thwomp, and the Star follow. The player in fourth place tries to join them, but gets taken away by Bubba.
