| | '''Toad Road''' is one of the seven boards in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. The players ride in a mushroom car. The mini-boss fought in a boss castle is [[Lakitu]]. The real boss, which is fought through a Bowser Gate at a forest is [[Wiggler]]. This board is an easy going, simple board which is great for beginning players. |

| '''Toad Road''' is the first of seven boards in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. It is an idyllic, blue-skied grassy area reminiscent of [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It borders a body of water by the south and typical [[Mushroom Kingdom]] mountains in the distant background. The starting vehicle for this board is the Toad Mobile; the Rickety Ride and the Wiggler Wagon can be purchased at the Museum for 200 Party Points each. The mid-boss that guards the Fortress is [[Lakitu]]. The main boss, which is fought at the end of the board in a forest is [[Wiggler]]. | |

| [[File:MP9 Toad Road Gameplay.png|thumb|270px|The players riding through Toad Road.]]
| | The players start out in front of a path leading through a plain. The players ride through the path, past a windmill, past a river, and up two short mountains. At the top of one the mountains is where the boss castle is and where Lakitu is fought. After the battle is a large gap due to a broken bridge. In the gap, alot of [[Mini Ztar]]s wait for the players. In order to jump the gap, each player must get a high number on their dice. After the mountain and gap, the players ride the plain and reach a forest where the Bowser Gate is and where Wiggler is fought. Alot of positive events happen on this board, One of these events is where the player who landed on the happening space climbs a beanstalk to get some [[Mini Star]]s. A main captain event is where a cannon shoots the car across the river. This cannon looks the same as the special ones in [[New Super Mario Bros.]]. Many other unseen positive events appear to. |
| As the introductory board in the game, Toad Road is relatively straightforward with no complex mechanics. The players start out on the right side of the map, a path across a bright green plain decorated with trees, flowers and windmills. They eventually come across a pond, with the option of either driving around it, or using lily pads to drive over it. This first portion of the map contains four blue [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] accessible via five [[Lucky Space]]s. Driving past a [[Toad House]] Lucky Space, the players go up a small hill, the top of which contains a [[beanstalk]]. Past this first area, they scale a rocky mountain where the [[Fortress]] is found, triggering the mid-boss battle ([[Sock It to Lakitu]] in solo mode).
| |
|
| |
|
| After the fortress is a destroyed bridge that should connect to another mountain on the left side. The path underneath the gap contains [[Mini Ztar Space]]s, and across it are [[Mini Star Space]]s. In order to jump across the gap, each player (with the captain, who rolls last, using a [[1-10 Dice Block]]) must roll a combined total of at least 16 with four people, 12 when playing with three, or 8 when playing with two, on the Dice. If all the players cross the gap, it will be still the captain's turn if there are still moves. Likewise, if all the players fall off to the lower road, the captain's turn will end and the next player will be the captain. After the mountain and the gap, they reach the left side plain, a darker, forested path decorated with sharp bushes and brambles. Here is the cannon to the 9 Island (see below). After the Captain Event, the players meet the green Toad and trigger the "Almost There!" event, which places five [[Bowser Space]]s on the final stretch (or three if the player says "no" to Bowser). The next section is two branching paths going around a circular island accessible via either of two [[Event Space]]s, where many Mini Stars are available. The paths soon converge and lead to the [[Bowser Gate]], where the boss minigame ([[Wiggler Bounce]] in solo mode) is played.
| | ==Lakitu Boss Battle== |
| | The name of this minigame is [[Sock It to Lakitu]]. The players are on a grassy platform above the clouds, Lakitu the hovers in front of the platform. Lakitu obviously throws [[Spiny]]s on the platform which makes the player lose points when hit. Floating blocks are scattered on the platform. The players must hit the block when it shows a picture of a [[Bill Blaster]]. The Bill Blaster shoots a [[Bullet Bill]] at Lakitu giving the player points. Players must avoid hitting the block when it has a picture of a Spiny because it will come out of the block. Touching a Spiny will deducted one point off the player's score. After knocking Lakitu's life to half, he'll throw a giant Spiny which will deduct two points off the player's score. |
|
| |
|
| The rocky formations at the top of the left and right mountains resemble an "M" and a "P", respectively, directly above 9 Island, standing for ''Mario Party 9''. | | ==Wiggler Boss Battle== |
| | The name of this minigame is [[Wiggler Bounce]]. The players are in a medium sized spot in a forest, Wiggler then appears. The players must [[Ground Pound]] on Wiggler's segments. The player will earn one point for ground pounding the purple spots, and three points for ground pounding the red spots. The players must avoid getting hit by Wiggler or various [[Piranha Plant]]s that appear around the room. |

|
| ===9 Island=== | | ==Trivia== |
| In this Captain Event, the players are launched by a cannon to a small island shaped like the number 9. Each player rolls a Regular [[Dice Block]] once, in an order determined by the captain. There are several sets of Mini Stars scattered over the island, ending with a set of 10. The island also has several [[Dash Space]]s, meaning that a single player could potentially obtain all of the Mini Stars on the island. The event ends when all Mini Stars have been collected or after all players have rolled the Dice Block once without collecting them all. If the last player does not reach the end of the island, everyone will enter a warp pipe and will be headed back to the main route.
| | *The car that the players ride on looks like the car on ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. |
| | | *The spots on Wiggler's segments resemble a [[Ground Pound Switch]]. |
| ===Lucky and Unlucky Spaces===
| |
| *Five Lucky Spaces in the first plain grant access to a blue pipe leading underground, where the player will find a simple row of six Mini Star Spaces: the first and second ones give out 1 Mini Star, the third and fourth ones give out 2 and the final two give out 3. The player has to roll a Dice Block once to land on one of these spaces.
| |
| *Three Lucky Spaces give access to either of two Toad Houses on the board, where Toad shuffles four item cards (including one "No item" card). The player must track and pick two of them.
| |
| *A Lucky Space is next to the beanstalk, which leads the player to a sky stage with six cloud platforms, each one holding two Mini Stars. They must roll a Dice Block and climb the number of clouds indicated, receiving all Mini Stars they pass by.
| |
| *An Unlucky Space is just after the Captain Event, granting access to a red pipe leading underground, where a row of six Mini Ztar Spaces: The first and second give out 1, the third and fourth give out 3, and the fifth and sixth give out 5. The player has to roll a Dice Block to land on one of these spaces.
