Editing Bowser Time

'''Bowser Time''', titled '''Bowser Party''' in British English, is an event that occurs exclusively in {{a|MP7|l}}, occurring every five turns. It happens exclusively 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 {{a|MPseries|l}} games, such as {{a|MPDS|l}} and {{a|MP9}}, 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 {{a|MP7}}. Likewise, {{a|MP10|l}} features a gimmick called "Bowser Party," whose name is derived from the British English name of the special event from {{a|MP7}}; however, rather than behaving the same as that event, this mechanic focuses on one player playing as Bowser, with others playing as any other character.

Either way, Bowser then leaves without giving the players their photograph, which [[Toadsworth]], in dismay, points out to the players.
