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.

{{rewrite|How much chance of Koopa Kid failing to steal any coins}}

|align=left|Bowser takes a souvenir picture of the players and makes them pay 10 or 20 [[coin]]s each for it. Occasionally, Bowser "stumbles into" the photo, but this does not affect the cost at all. Either way, Bowser then leaves without giving anyone the photo.

|All boards except [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!]]

|align=left|Bowser may slam the mountain, making the players fall down a few spaces (unless they are at the start), similar to the giant tree's sneeze in [[Towering Treetop]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''.

|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 {{id|Star|MPseries}} 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).

|align=left|Bowser may send Koopa Kid to rob one of the windmills. Occasionally, Koopa Kid will fail to steal any coins, which will result in Bowser grounding him.
