Bowser Phone

A Bowser Phone is one of many items that is used in Mario Party 3. It is used to call Bowser on a foe (or even on yourself).

Appearence
The Bowser Phone looks pretty similar to its counterpart the Cellular Shopper but with a few differences. It is a small orange and green phone with tiny buttons on it. At the top of it is small horns and a evil face meant to look like Bowser.

Ability
The Bowser Phone has the ability to send Bowser to another player starting up a Bowser Event. NOTE: The Bowser Phone can be cleverally used on yourself when you have no coins (since Bowser ALWAYS gives the player without coins up to 10 to 40 coins). Also note that it is never wise to call Bowser on someone else when you have around 20 or 30 coins or near the Star Space since there is a chance that it will land on either Bowser's Curse, Bowser's Reverse Curse, or worse, Bowser's Coin Potluck. Always use the Bowser Phone when you already have a lot of coin and you are as far away from the Star Space as possible.

Ways to Obtain the Bowser Phone
These are the different ways that you can obtain a Bowser Phone:
 * Buy it from Baby Bowser's Joint for only 10 coins.
 * Win it in an Item Game.
 * Bowser gives one to you as part of his "Bowser's Phone Giveaway" Bowser Event.
 * Baby Bowser gives one to you when he appears on an Item Space.
 * Find on in an hidden box.
 * Steal it from another player using the Plunder Box.

Trivia

 * The Bowser Phone is consired very helpful since Bowser always gives you a lot of coins when you don't have any. It is then very wise to buy a Bowser Phone when you have 10 coins left. This defintally can be achived by having Baby Bowser appear right on the first turn and buy the Bowser Phone right away and call him on the next turn.
 * However, this can only work if you:
 * Play on a level where the Item Shop is right near the Start Space (Waluigi's Island is a very good level to do this on).
 * Land on a Space that doesn't give or take any coins away from you (Happening Spaces are great exmaples).
 * Don't win the next Mini-game (UNLESS it is a Bouns Game since you have the chance to earn more coins than Bowser can give you early in the game).
