Wiggler's Garden is a board featured in Mario Party DS. It is owned by Wiggler, and is the first board accessed in Story Mode. This board is similar to Grand Canal from Mario Party 7 (as both of these boards --discounting the Bowser boards in both of these games Mario Party 7 and DS-- use the classic Mario Party series formula).
Features[]
Being a garden, Wiggler's Garden consists of several plants, such as flowers and trees.
? Spaces[]
The ? Spaces on the board fall into several different categories:
- Flytraps: Landing on this space will trigger the plant to chomp on all players currently resting on the space, costing each affected player 5 coins.
- Flower Trios: These spaces come in pairs. A player landing on one of these spaces is prompted to choose a flower (colored red, blue, or yellow). The player is then randomly awarded 1, 10, or 30 coins as a prize.
- Yellow Blossoms: A player landing on one of these two spaces has 5 seconds to agitate a yellow blossom using the stylus, collecting whatever coins that fly out of the blossom.
- Piranha Plant: Occurs as a 3-space spread at the extreme upper edge of the board. Landing on one of these spaces triggers the Piranha Plant living there, which attacks the player with a fireball. Frequently, the attack will fail to hit, but when the attack is successful, the player loses 10 coins.
- Flower Springs: A player landing on this space will be bounced back to the start.
Story Mode[]
The heroes that started their journey to Bowser's Castle, but were stopped at the beginning by a Wiggler, who told them: "That Piranha Plant I've have in my garden is messing up my garden." The heroes decided to help Wiggler and defeat the Piranha Plant before continuing further on their journey.
Trivia[]
- The board was originally named Petey's Greenhouse during development.
- Since this board and Bowser's Pinball Machine are the only two boards in this game to use the classic Mario Party series formula, this board (not counting Bowser's Pinball Machine) requires a Star Space. (This board shares the same formula as the first boards from the four previous later Mario Party series games. That is, Mario Party 6, 7, and 8. However, this does not include Mario Party 1 which has four boards having the classic Mario Party series formula --that being, Luigi's Engine Room, Wario's Battle Canyon, DK's Jungle Adventure, and the Bowser themed board Bowser's Magma Mountain.) And the star costs 20 coins each time. That is, similar to Towering Treetop (in Mario Party 6), Grand Canal (in Mario Party 7), and DK's Treetop Temple (in Mario Party 8).
- In these four games (Mario Party 6, 7, 8, and DS), all four of these boards (Towering Treetop, Grand Canal, DK's Treetop Temple, and Wiggler's Garden) are the first boards. And they all use the classic Mario Party series formula.
