Editing Mario Party 3

<small>A - If the player is using this character, that opponent is replaced with [[Luigi]].</small>

After a Star Stamp has been received and the player is ready to move to the next Battle Royale board, [[Bowser]] appears with two [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] cohorts, attempting to get the Star Stamps for himself, but he always shows up late. The first two times, when trying to get the Wit and Kindness Star Stamps, the player, the Millennium Star, and [[Tumble]] have already left to the next board. When trying to get the Strength Star Stamp, Bowser does arrive before the player, the Millennium Star, and Tumble leave, but they ignore him and continue to the next board anyway. When trying to get the Love Star Stamp, Bowser and the Baby Bowsers managed to surround the three, but when Tumble politely asks them to get out of the way, Bowser lets them go, and after they leave, he [[Fire Breath|breathes fire]], frustrated at his own foolishness.

Just as ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' did for ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''Mario Party 3'' references and takes gimmicks from ''Mario Party 2''{{'}}s boards to use in its own boards. For example, Waluigi's Island uses an altered gimmick from [[Space Land]], along with a gimmick from [[Luigi's Engine Room]] from ''Mario Party''; in one island, when a total of five Happening Spaces has been landed on, all players lose all of their coins if they are within a certain area (Space Land), and all islands and routes contain Red Warp Pipes that lead back to start, at the Green Warp Pipe (Luigi's Engine Room).

|align=left|This ice-themed board has the players get 20 coins for them to purchase a Star from the Millennium Star. While the players are trying to complete this task, they are faced with the two most prominent features of this board: the Action Time, and the icy five-way junction in the middle. The Action Time on this board is triggered if a player lands on a Happening Space on either the board's leftmost column or the board's uppermost row; it may also be triggered if a player passes by [[Mr. Blizzard]] on the uppermost row. If a player manages to meet Mr. Blizzard when passing by, he asks the player to pay him five coins for him to initiate the Action Time. The Action Time of this board includes Mr. Blizzard rolling a snowball leftwards (then downwards) or rightwards (then downwards). If the player hits {{button|n64|A}} in time, they jump over the snowball; however, if they do not, they are chased by the snowball. If two players are standing on the icy five-way junction at once, then the ice cracks. When the ice cracks, the players who are standing on the cracking ice flee to the southeast corner of the board.

In Story Mode, after a Battle Royale map, the player's character is about to receive a [[Star Stamp]] when another character emerges from the castle and says they deserve it. To settle this dispute, both characters are sent to a Duel board (with the exception of Waluigi, who challenges the character to his Battle Royale board, [[Waluigi's Island]]). The winner receives the Star Stamp. (Luigi serves as the player's opponent if the player is supposed to duel the character they chose. As Daisy cannot be chosen in Story Mode, Luigi cannot be fought on [[Backtrack]].)
