'''Mystery Land''' is a board set in some ancient ruins in [[Mario Land (Mario Party 2)|Mario Land]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', and features several ''[[ | '''Mystery Land''' is a board set in some ancient ruins in [[Mario Land (Mario Party 2)|Mario Land]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', and features several ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]''-based parodies of real-life cryptozoological and historical mysteries. It is divided into four areas, to which people warp to each time they land on a [[Event Space|Happening Space]]. They can also pay 10 [[coin]]s to have a [[Bob-omb]] UFO take them to another area, but sometimes the UFO will malfunction and take the player to a small area with ruins resembling [[King Bob-omb]]. Other interesting features on this board include the [[Shy Guy]]'s Curse House, where a player can pay 5 coins to curse themselves or another player to reduce the number on their dice block to 1-3, rather like the [[Poison Mushroom]]s and [[Cursed Dice Block]]s from later ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games. The Item [[Minigame]] is [[Mallet-Go-Round]], and the Duel minigame is [[Psychic Safari]]. | ||
At the end of the game when Toad is about to announce the winner, he is interrupted by a red [[Koopa Troopa]] who comes and alerts the players that the treasure has been found. A cutscene then shows a green Koopa with a golden Bob-omb statue. Then the villain of the board, the [[Bowser|Bowser Sphinx]], comes to challenge the Koopa to guess a figure shrouded in shadow. The Koopa guesses incorrectly, saying that it is a cow, and Bowser curses the Koopa by trapping him in a rock. Then, the winner of the game comes to confront him. The winner guesses Bowser's shadow riddle correctly, saying that the figure is him. The Bowser Sphinx disappears, a consequence of having his riddle guessed, and the statue breaks to reveal a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] that was trapped inside. The other Bob-omb Buddies come to take their rescued comrade away on their spaceship and takes Bowser in their custody. The winner of the board is then congratulated by the other players, [[Toad]], Koopa, and a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]. | At the end of the game when Toad is about to announce the winner, he is interrupted by a red [[Koopa Troopa]] who comes and alerts the players that the treasure has been found.

**In the ending for the board, when Sphinx Bowser gives a riddle, Koopa's (incorrect) answer was a cow, with the actual answer being Bowser himself. This was a subtle reference to Bowser's design process, where Shigeru Miyamoto initially envisioned him as an ox, but ultimately worked with Takashi Tezuka to mix both turtle and ox designs for his final design. | **In the ending for the board, when Sphinx Bowser gives a riddle, Koopa's (incorrect) answer was a cow, with the actual answer being Bowser himself.
