| '''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 ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super 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 [[Cursed 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]].

They can also pay 10 [[coin]]s to have a [[Bob-omb]] UFO take them to another area. there is also a small useless island that contains King Bob Omb and Red Spaces Other interesting features on this board include the [[Shy Guy]]'s Curse House, where a player can pay 5 coins to curse himself or herself or another player to reduce the number on their dice block to 1-3, rather like the [[Poison Mushrooms]] from later ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games. The Item [[Minigame]] is [[Mallet-Go-Round]], and the Duel minigame is [[Psychic Safari]]. |

| |
| This is where the players start. This area contains a Shy Guy's Curse House, a [[Koopa Bank]], and a spot where the player can summon a Bob-omb UFO to take them to the top left area. It is the only one of the four main areas without a [[Bowser Space]]. A crashed airplane with a [[Goomba]] on the tail can be seen here.

| ====Bottom left area====
| | At the end of the game, a red [[Koopa Troopa]] 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's a cow, and Bowser says that's wrong. He puts the Koopa into 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. The winner of the board is then congratulated by the other players, [[Toad]], Koopa, and a [[Power Star]]. |
| This area is Egyptian-themed and features a pyramid, some pillars, and a {{wp|Nazca Lines|Nazca Line}}-esque imprint of a [[Blooper|Bloober]]. The [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]] is here, and there is a door which allows players to willingly access the upper left or bottom right area if they have a [[Skeleton Key]]. It is the only one of the four main areas without an [[Item Space]].

| ====Upper left area==== | | ===Areas=== |
| This area features a Koopa Bank, [[Boo]], and a spot where the player can summon a Bob-omb UFO to take them to the bottom right area. It is the only one of the four main areas without a [[Battle Space]]. [[Dorrie]] can be seen above this area, in a parody of the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}.

This area contains a [[Miracle Space|Chance Time Space]] and a Shy Guy's Curse House. There is another Skeleton Key door here, which serves the same purpose as the one in the bottom left area. In the forest, [[Peach's Castle]] is somewhat visible through the fog.
| | 3rd area has a UFO and Boo |
| | | 4th area there is a Chance Time space and Shy Guy Curse House |
| ====King Bob-omb ruins area====
| | 5th island is a small useless island with a broken King Bob Omb and Lots of Red Spaces |

| *Wario's outfit for this board somewhat resembles his normal form from ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. This is because the player wears an archaeologist attire complete with a sun helmet, whereas Wario is seen wearing such a helmet in said game.
| | [[File:Mp2peachscastle.png|thumb|194px|Princess Peach's Castle.]] |
| **On a similar note, Mario's outfit for Mystery Land resembles the outfit Mario wore in ''[[Mario's Picross]]''. | | *Many ''Mario'' related things can be seen in this map, for example: |
| **Also, Bowser's Sphinx costume for this board somewhat resembles his Koop Tut alter ego from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode, "[[The Ten Koopmandments]]". | | **[[Princess Peach's Castle]] can be seen in the middle of the forest. |
| **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.
| | **A half-buried petrified version of [[King Bob-omb]] can be seen in a sinkhole. |
| *The menu icon for this board resembles the condor figure at the {{wp|Nazca Lines}}. | | **[[Dorrie]] can be seen in the lake. This is an obvious reference to the [[wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|Loch Ness Monster]]. |
| *Despite the fact that this board has the fewest spaces of all boards in the game, Mystery Land has more [[Event Space|Happening Space]]s than any other board. | | **A [[Blooper]] drawing can be seen in the sand similar to the Nazca Lines. |
| {{br}} | | **A [[Whomp]] with no arms and legs is on the structure that resembles [[wikipedia:Stonehenge|Stonehenge]]. |
| {{Mario Party boards}}
| | **A [[Goomba]] can be seen in the tail of the crashed airplane. |
| | *[[wikipedia:Easter Island|Easter Island]] statues can be seen. |
