Editing Super Mario Piranha Plant Escape!

'''''Super Mario'' Piranha Plant Escape!''' is a board game published by Epoch Games in 2020.<ref>[https://supermario.epochtoys.com/en-us/piranha-plant-escape/ Epoch Toys page]</ref> It features die-rolling gameplay similar to that of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. It is one of many games by Epoch based on the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, including [[Super Mario Fire Mario Stadium|''Super Mario'' Fire Mario Stadium]], [[Super Mario Blow Up Shaky Tower|''Super Mario'' Blow Up Shaky Tower]], and [[Super Mario Adventure Game DX|''Super Mario'' Adventure Game DX]]. It is a simplified version of the Japanese game ''Super Mario'': Pakkun Flower Game, drawing inspiration from its [[Piranha Plant]] challenge mechanic; it is also directly inspired by the board game {{wp|Don't Wake Daddy}}, with the center of the board featuring an electronic Piranha Plant that randomly attacks players when they pass onto certain spaces. It features two figures of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] and flat "character plates" of [[Yoshi]] and [[Toad]], the four of whom represent the player characters.

This game is a simplified version of a Japanese game named ''Super Mario'': Pakkun Flower Game. The game also features a Piranha Plant in the center of the game board that attacks, but the overall gameplay bears little resemblance to the international version. In this game, the object is to gather [[coin]]s as the player moves their character around the game board. When all the coins at the center of the board run out, the player with the most coins wins the game.

 

===Setup===

The player needs to unfold the game board and place the Piranha Plant in the center, standing up it up and closing its mouth. They then need to place character tokens and die near the board and give each character one coin, placing the remaining coins near the Piranha Plant's pipe. Players then play rock-paper-scissors to decide who begins play, with the winner going first and placing their character on the Start space.

 

===Gameplay===

The player rolls the die and moves their character token counterclockwise the number of spaces shown on the die, carrying out the action of the space they land on. If they roll a Piranha Plant symbol, they do a "Piranha Plant Challenge", which is detailed below. Play then passes to the player on their left, and players continue taking turns rolling the die, moving their character token, and carrying out the action of the space they land on, until the coins in the center run out.

 

 

*1 [[Princess Peach]] figure

 

 

*Enemy space: The player rolls the die and compares the number shown on the die to that of the space they landed on, the latter being known as the enemy's strength number. If the player's roll is higher than the enemy's strength number, they take that number of coins from the center of the board. If the player's roll is less than or equal to the enemy's strength number, they take that many coins from their hand and place the coins in the center of the board. This space is marked by a [[Bowser]] emblem.

*[[Warp Pipe]] space: The player moves their character to the opposite pipe of the same color. If there are any coins that are on or outside the game board, they may collect them, but if the player forgets to collect them before play passes to the next player, they stay for the next player. This space is marked by an image of a Warp Pipe.

 

 

*FREE! space: The player declares the number of times they want to press the challenge button, before pressing the button. If the Piranha Plant does not attack while they press the button, they take the number of coins from the center based how many times they pressed the button. If the Piranha Plant attacks, they take that many coins from that hand and place the coins in the center of the board.

 

 

===Running out of coins===

At any point in the game, if the player does not have enough coins to return to the center board, they return all the coins in their hand to the center of the board and place their character back on the START space. Afterwards, the player then takes a coin from the center.

 

In this game, the object is to lose coins through Piranha Plant challenges by declaring how many times one will press the challenge button, taking that many coins from their hand and placing them in the center of the board, and pressing the challenge button that number of times in the hopes that the Piranha Plant will not attack during one's turn. The first person to lose all their coins wins the game.

In this game, only the Piranha Plant and the coins are used in this game; the character figures, game board, and die are left unused.

 

Like in the original game, the player stands up the Piranha Plant and closes its mouth. When they distribute coins to each player, however, they give each player 8 coins instead of 1. If any coins remain, they place the remaining coins in the center. Players then play rock-paper-scissors to determine who starts play, with the winner starting the first Piranha Plant challenge.

The winner declares how many times they will press the challenge button, then takes that many coins from their hand and places the coins in the center. They then press the button that many times. If the Piranha Plant does not attack while they press the button, they win the Piranha Plant challenge, and play then passes to the next player. If the Piranha Plant attacks while they press the button, they lose the challenge, and must collect any coins that fell from the center. They then stand the Piranha Plant back up and close its mouth, and play then passes to the next player. Players continue doing Piranha Plant challenges until one player runs out of coins. At that point, the player who ran out of coins is declared the winner.

 

In this game, the object is to place coins in the front of the Piranha Plant so that they do not fall out. The player wins once they put all their coins in the center.

 

Like in the original game, the player stands up the Piranha Plant and closes its mouth. They then take all 32 coins and put them in their hand.

The player rolls the die and takes that many coins from their hand as shown on the die (A Piranha Plant symbol is equal to 10 coins). They then place the coins in the center however they like. Once they place their coins in the center, they do a Piranha Plant challenge and press the challenge button once. If the Piranha Plant does not attack, the player wins and does not need to do anything. If the Piranha Plant attacks, the player loses and must collect any fallen coins. They then stand the Piranha Plant back up and close its mouth. The player continues rolling the die, placing coins, and doing Piranha Plant challenges until they run out of coins, at which point the game ends and the player wins.
