'''Bowser's Peculiar Peak''' (known as '''Bowser's Bizarre Volcano''' in the British English version) is one of the seven boards in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', unlocked by playing every other board, excluding [[Shy Guy's Shuffle City]], at least once. The objective of this board is the exact opposite of the objectives of all other boards in the game except [[Star-Crossed Skyway]]; it is a race against [[Bowser]], who hosts this board instead of [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]]. This board introduces [[Bowser Dice Block]]s which can hinder the player; if the player rolls doubles, they remain where they are.

The game starts out with everyone playing a minigame to decide who goes first. Once done, each player receives an extra Bowser Dice Block, with the lower-place players receiving the Bowser Dice Blocks with the higher numbers. The order during each turn also changes and is determined by the players' performance in the last minigame, with the 4th-place player going first, 3rd-place going second, etc. Once a player is 16 spaces or less from Bowser, at the start of the next round, Bowser adds seven [[Bowser Space]]s scattered across the board to make the game much more difficult. In addition, the player closest to Bowser is given the chance to pick the minigames. In the event of a tie for last, Bowser will randomly choose a player to select the minigames. When a player reaches Bowser, the player takes part in the Bowser Challenge where they need to roll a three or lower to avoid being knocked away. Players can still roll doubles to save themselves. When a player loses the Bowser Challenge and is knocked away, whoever is the farthest away from Bowser wins.

When the winner is presented, [[Lakitu]] is shown holding the player that got knocked away.

==Bowser Blockade==
==Bowser Blockade==
When a player reaches the first Special Event Space, the player stops moving and Bowser shows up. A bomb and two detonators will show up in front of the player. One of them will make the bomb explode, and the other one will not. The player who picks the detonator that does not blow up the bomb is safe, and their turn ends. If a player picks the detonator that makes the bomb explode, the rest of the board is open and that player either keeps moving the amount of spaces left on their roll or rolls with their given Dice Blocks.

When a player reaches the goal, that player will be forced to participate in the dreaded Bowser Challenge. If the player rolls 1-3, they are safe for another turn. If the player rolls 4 or more, Bowser will fling the player far away, ending the game and giving that player last place. Although a player's first attempt at the Bowser Challenge ensures that only one Bowser Dice Block is used, subsequent attempts may force players to use multiple Bowser Dice Blocks, making the Bowser Challenge far more difficult to survive. However, players can stay safe if they roll doubles.  
If the player reaches the goal first, that person participates in the Bowser Challenge. If the player rolls a one, two, or three, they are safe for another turn, but if the player rolls a four or more, then Bowser flings the player far away, which ends the game and that person will receive last place. Players can also stay safe if they roll doubles as well.
