The unlockable vehicles for this board are the Float Mattress and the Boo Blanket.

The players begin just outside the castle. They ride up the steps and go through the front door, arriving in a large antechamber. The players eventually leave through a door on the left side of the chamber, emerging on a walkway that leads to the mid-boss fortress. After the mid-boss (Dry Bones in solo mode) is fought, an ethereal blue trail appears in the remains of the fortress, allowing the players' vehicle to enter the castle again. | The players begin just outside the castle.

After passing through several more rooms, the players emerge from the castle once more, using another glowing trail to reach the roof of the building.

The players must navigate around the roof to reach a sealed Bowser Gate; to open the path, the captain must roll a number equal or higher to the number displayed on the gate. If they fail to breach the gate, the group must go around the roof again to get another chance-fortunately, the gate's number requirement decreases by 2 after every failed attempt to open it. Beyond the gate, players ride one last energy path to reach the tallest tower in the castle, where they must battle a Stage Boss (King Boo in solo mode) to complete the board. | ||

If they intersect with the vehicle, the current captain will lose half of their [[Mini Star]]s and the Boo disappears. | ||
Several branches in the path lead to well-lit areas that the Boos cannot enter, providing temporary safety from the wandering ghosts. However, this can cause the Boos to actually end up in front of the players, forcing captains to limit their movement, and becoming especially difficult if other Boos are still pursuing the vehicle. | Several branches in the path lead to well-lit areas that the Boos cannot enter, providing temporary safety from the wandering ghosts.

The players give chase, still riding their vehicle. The Scaredy Rat rolls a [[1-2-3 Dice Block]] to escape along a course featuring several [[Dash Space]]s, and the players roll standard 1-6 [[Dice Block]]s in an order determined by the captain. If a player catches the Scaredy Rat, that player earns all of the stolen Mini Stars and the event ends. The event also ends if the Scaredy Rat reaches the end of the path and escapes, meaning that no player recovers the Mini Stars. | ||

To defeat Dry Bones, players must memorize the | To defeat Dry Bones, players must memorize the colour and symbols on several cards as they flip face-down. When Dry Bones appears on a platform, the players must choose a card whose colour matches that of Dry Bones' platform. Successful matches damage the enemy, earning players three points per hit; unsuccessful matches do nothing. | ||
As Dry Bones takes damage, he summons more platforms, increasing the difficulty of choosing a matching card. He also begins adding cards with his own face on them; players who choose these cards get whacked with a bone, costing them a point. When Dry Bones loses half of his health, he begins swapping rows or columns of cards after they flip over, attempting to further confuse the players. | As Dry Bones takes damage, he summons more platforms, increasing the difficulty of choosing a matching card.

King Boo's battle requires a quick eye and a fast hand. The players must try to line up multiple images of the same power-up. Once three or more are in a row, the items will fly at King Boo to inflict damage. The player will get one point for each power-up fired this way, with extra images in the line doing extra damage (e.g. if four [[Fire | King Boo's battle requires a quick eye and a fast hand.

If the Boos capture a player's marker, it will freeze and the player will have to shake the Wii Remote to break out. The ghosts can be briefly dispelled by lining up a Lightning Bolt attack, but King Boo will quickly replace them. | ||
