Editing Bonus Board

The '''Bonus Board''' is a mode in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' that works in conjunction with a physical paper board. It can be played with up to four players, with the goal being to collect a single [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]], which wins the game. It requires cutting out the board, cutting out and assembling the character pieces and Star Piece, and using the game to roll a die, play a [[Gaddget]], or get a chance at collecting a Star. Though the manual encourages players to create new rules themselves as they see fit, it does come with some baselines: players move around the board in an attempt to collect a Star, which can be placed on one of the four [[Star Space]]s on the board. When a player lands on the space with the Star Piece, they can open one of six boxes in the video game, with one of them holding the Star. If they open an empty box, their turn ends; if they find the Star, they win the game.

This board has a simple layout with two paths of spaces around the perimeter of the board: an large outer path and a small inner path, which contains the four Star Spaces. Players navigate the outer path and try to land on Pipe Spaces to reach the inner path for a chance at winning.

==Trivia==
*If considered part of the ''Mario Party'' series, the supplemental Bonus Board material would mark [[Bowser]] and [[Goomba]]'s first playable appearances on a ''Mario Party'' board, predating their later appearances in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', respectively.
