Board description
Bowser's Gnarly Party is a board map hosted by Koopa Kid and takes place over a giant lava pit. 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 preceed 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 differen event may occur with Bowser. Bowser will change spots once a plaer successfully purchases a star.
