Bowser's Gnarly Party

Bowser's Gnarly Party is an unlockable board map hosted by Koopa Kid in Mario Party 4.
==Board description==
Bowser's Gnarly Party is a board map hosted by Koopa Kid and takes place over a giant lava pit. (From the start of the board --and before the first turn-- Koopa Kid says to all four players that if they do not see Bowser now, they might "certainly see him later".) The board was created as a tribute to Bowser, and contains small statues of Bowser located around the board. In the center of the board, a giant statue of Bowser's shell can be seen in the lava. One of the main features of this board is the stone bridges located at certain junctions of the board. When a player arrives at these junctions, they are asked to precede with caution when crossing it. As they are crossing the bridge, it will start to crumble with every passing character. When the third player crosses the bridge, it will then crumble and reform at the opposite path. There are also giant statues of Bowser's head located around the board. When a player lands on one of the Happening Spaces located in front of the statues, the statue will release a breath of fire from its mouth, and burning the player in the process. The player will then lose one item
Another main feature on this board is Bowser. Bowser can be found at random locations on this board while the star is in play. When a player passes Bowser, he will usually give them trouble by taking away half of their coins. Depending on the player's size, however, a different event may occur with Bowser. Bowser switch spots when a player successfully purchases a star.
===Notable Characters and Events===
* Bowser - Bowser will appear at random sections of the board while the Star Space is in play. When a player passes Bowser, he steals half of their coins but gives them 50 coins if they have zero coins. (If they player has at least one coin, Bowser says to them that they must surrender half of their coins if they "don't want to be flattened". That is, as he says, "You made it, 'character name'! Now if you do not want to be flattened, give me half of your coins!".) However, if they pass Bowser while under the influence of a Mega Mushroom or a Super Mega Mushroom then Bowser challenges them to a special-type of mini-game. The minigame can be either Bowser Wrestling or Panels of Doom. (NOTE: If the Bowser mega minigame is done on Story Mode, this is not the final Story Mode minigame The Final Battle!.) If the player loses the mini-game, then Bowser steals half of their coins . If the player wins the minigame, then this causes Bowser to get "defeated" and he disappears from the board. However, Bowser appears again and changes his position when the next star is taken from Koopa Kid (via the Star Space). And if the player passes Bowser while wearing the Bowser Suit, Bowser gives them 50 coins.
* Stone Bridges - At certain intersections on the board, there are stone bridges that lead to certain paths. When a player arrives at one of these bridges, they are asked to proceed with caution while crossing it. While the player is crossing the bridge, they will start to crumble and eventually fall apart once the third player crosses it. The bridge will then reform at the opposite path.
===? Spaces===
* Bowser Statue - At the far corners of the board, there are two giant stone heads of Bowser. Located in front of the stone heads are three happening spaces. When a player lands on one of these happening spaces, the statue will spit fire out of its mouth, causing the player to get burned in the process. The player will then lose a random item.
