Mario Party

Goomba's Booty Boardwalk is a board in Mario Party 8 hosted by Captain Goomba.

Description[]

It is a long linear board, designed to look like a beach and market inhabited by Goombas and Piantas. The first part is a small market made to look like the market in Island Delfino. The course then goes onto a beach where the player can find multiple Dolphin Expresses with Dolphins offering to take the player a specific amount of spaces. The Candy Craft a floating candy shop selling candy. The path continues past the beach into a mountainous area and finally a large volcano with Captain Goomba and a vast supply of stolen treasure. When the player reaches the end, Captain Goomba (host of the board) gives the player a free star, before they are sent back to start by seagulls. The star is free, so the player can use the Dolphin expresses (which serve as shortcuts) to ride the dolphins. (However, the player is forced to trade a specific number of coins to ride the dolphins.)

Interesting spaces[]

Happening Space[]

Goomba's Booty Boardwalk 3

There are seven total Happening Spaces:

  • Three of which are a Pianta throwing the player forward five to seven spaces on the board.
  • Two of which are a Pianta fishing when he pulls up a candy instead of a fish. He decides to give the candy the player.
  • Another green space involves a complaining pirate Goomba who can't find buried treasure in a large shipwreck. The player goes in and comes out with a chest containing either coins or candy.
  • The final green space is three spaces away from Captain Goomba, which lets the three Pirate Goombas shoot the player back to start using their ship's cannon.

Lucky Space[]

A Dolphin will take the player to a secret sacred island eastern of the Booty Boardwalk, with five spaces with three coins each and a large treasure chest with a star in it. Upon reaching the chest, they summon two Goomba Deitys. He begs the player to take the star and go away so he can sleep. Then he gives the player a star, and sends them back to the Lucky Space so the player can continue the board from there.

DK and Bowser Space[]

Goomba's Booty Boardwalk 2

Toad is getting attacked by Podoboos as a consequence of landing on a Bowser Space

For the DK Space, Donkey Kong will suddenly appear on a lifeguard's platform. He then tells the player to deposit 5 coins into a DK Barrel. The player gets 3 seconds to shake the DK Barrel. The better they do, the more coins they get back. They can get up to 25 coins. (The minimum number of coins they can get is 11, while the maximum is 25.) If the player has zero coins, Donkey Kong gives them 10 coins as a gift. For the Bowser Space, Bowser appears on the lifeguard's platform. The player's minigame is the Podoboos. Three Podoboos appear and the player must avoid them. The Podoboos attack the player 3 times. Each time the player doesn't dodge the attack, the Podoboos hit them, and they lose 10 coins for each successful hit. In total, the player loses 30 coins (10 for each successful hit). If the player has zero coins, Bowser gives them 10 coins.

In Star Battle Arena[]

In Star Battle Arena, this board is the second stage. In the Star Battle Arena version, the star costs 50 coins. The player or the opponent wins by acquiring one star (which is 50 coins). If they --the player or the opponent-- reaches Captain Goomba first (before the other does) with 50 coins, he gives them a star. And they win.

This is similar to Pagoda Peak from Mario Party 7. However, on Solo Cruise (in Mario Party 7), the star from Koopa Master on said stage is 100 coins.

In Star Battle Arena, the following changes have been made:

  • The Candy Craft --the candy shop-- is closed and the only way the player (or the opponent) can get candy is by passing Candy Spaces.
  • Dolphins (via Dolphin Expresses) do not charge for a ride across the island. They --Dolphin Expresses-- are closed, unless the player or the opponent lands on the corresponding Green Space (for it). The dolphins are a free of charge.
    • The reason why dolphins (via Dolphin Expresses) occur on the corresponding Green Space is because the star is 50 coins in the Star Battle Arena version. In the Party Tent version, the star is free, so the Dolphin shuttles are shortcuts. But in Star Battle Arena, they are part of the board's path (if the player --or the opponent-- lands on the Green Space), an event from the Green Space, and not a shortcut. So they only appear on the corresponding Green Space.
  • Challenge and Duel Spaces have been added.
  • The star (from Captain Goomba) is 50 coins.
    • If the player makes it to Captain Goomba with less than 50 coins, Captain Goomba lets them roll a coin block. Then the captain, he sends his crew (the Pirate Goombas). And the Pirate Goombas, they launch the player back to start.
  • The path to Captain Goomba is linear and no longer features the small village at the start.

Trivia[]

  • This is the only board to have a different Start Space in Star Battle Arena due to the board being smaller.
  • Despite the Candy Craft --candy shop-- is closed (on the Star Battle Arena version of this stage), orange female Piantas still run the candy shop. (That is, since they are still seen there.)
