| | '''Bowser Time''' is an event in the game ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', occurring every five turns. It only happens in the Party Cruise mode. The gauge always starts at 0% when the game begins and each turn, after every [[minigame]], the gauge will increase by 20%. The process repeats until the gauge is full, at which Bowser will show up, do something that hinders a player or group of players, and the gauge resets itself at 0%. When the game winds down to its last four turns, the gauge does not appear or fill up. Depending on the number of turns in a match, Bowser Time may occur only once, or up to nine times. The gauge on the screen is the symbol on ''Mario Party 7'''s [[Bowser Space]]s. |

| | [[Bowser]] can perform any number of events on different boards. On all the boards except [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno]], one of the things Bowser can do is take a picture of the players, and make them pay 10 or 20 [[coin]]s for it. Occasionally, Bowser "stumbles into" the photo, but this does not affect the cost at all. Either way, Bowser then leaves without giving the players their photograph, which [[Toadsworth]] points out to the dejected group. |

| '''Bowser Time''', known in British English as '''Bowser Party''', is an event that occurs only in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', occurring every five turns. It happens only in the Party Cruise. The gauge always starts at 0% when the game begins, and each turn, after every [[minigame]], the gauge increases by 20%. The process repeats until the gauge is full, at which point [[Bowser]] shows up and does something that hinders players, and the gauge resets itself at 0%. When the game winds down to its last four turns, the gauge does not appear or fill up. Depending on the number of turns in a match, Bowser Time may occur only once or up to nine times. The gauge on the screen is Bowser's [[emblem]]. In later ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games, such as ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', landing on a Bowser Space triggers an event called "Bowser Time," but it is more similar to the usual effects of a Bowser Space than the special event from ''Mario Party 7''. Likewise, ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' features a gimmick called "Bowser Party"; however, rather than behaving the same as the special event from ''Mario Party 7'', this mechanic focuses on one player playing as Bowser, with others playing as any other character.

| | On [[Grand Canal]], [[Pagoda Peak]], and [[Pyramid Park]], he may take over one of the two [[Orb Shop]]s on the boards until a player passes by, forcibly selling an unusable item to them for an unfair price. Afterward, Koopa Kid then takes whatever the player was forced to purchase. If a player approaches Bowser's shop and does not have any coins, Bowser will give the player 10 coins. He will not leave if he does this. Bowser will only leave after someone has purchased one of the two items he sells. |

| |align=left|Bowser may take over one of the two [[Orb hut]]s on the boards until a player passes by, forcibly selling either a [[Bowser Statue|Golden Bowser Statue]] or a [[Koopa Kid Orb]] to them for 20 coins (or fewer if the player does not have that much). However, any purchases made at a Bowser-owned Orb shop still count towards the [[Bonus Star#Shopping Star|Shopping Star]]. Afterward, [[Koopa Kid]] takes whatever the player was forced to purchase; if it was a Koopa Kid Orb, he throws it onto a random [[space (Mario Party series)|space]]. If a player approaches Bowser's shop and does not have any coins, Bowser gives the player 10 coins. He does not leave until someone has purchased one of the two items he sells.

| |
| |align=left|Bowser may summon a tornadic sandstorm that can destroy the bridges spanning the two sides of the board, making players stuck on one side for three turns unless they land on certain [[Event Space|Green Spaces]]. This also destroys the Orb huts for three turns since they are located on the bridges. If any players are on the bridges, they are sent back to the start.

| |align=left|Bowser may take a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] away from the player in first place and give it to Koopa Kid, who is somewhere on the board. This Star can then be taken by any player using a [[Chain Chomp]], but Koopa Kid periodically moves his location (like how [[Bandit]] does in the Solo Cruise).

The extra coins remain in the chest until either they are collected or the chest containing a regular Star is opened.
