In ''Mario Party 4'', players could only acquire a Bowser Suit by landing on a [[Bowser Space]] and even then, the chances of getting one would be slim to none. [[Waluigi]] was even pictured holding it on the box art of ''Mario Party 4''. Strangely, in that game it strongly resembles a [[Mushroom]], giving it the nickname Bowser Mushroom. Here, only one change in effect was made. If the player in it passed anyone, 30 coins would be stolen.
