'''Bowser Time''' is an event in the game ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', occurring every five turns. It only happens in the Party Cruise mode. The gauge always starts at 0% when the game begins and each turn, after every [[minigame]], the gauge will increase by 20%. The process repeats until the gauge is at 100%, at which Bowser will show up, do something that hinders a player or group of players, and the gauge resets itself at 0%. When the game winds down to its last five turns, the gauge does not appear or fill up. Depending on the number of turns in a match, Bowser Time may occur only once, or up to nine times. The gauge on the screen is the symbol on ''Mario Party 7'''s [[Bowser Space]]s.

[[Bowser]] can perform any number of events on different boards. On all the boards except [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno]], one of the things Bowser can do is take a picture of the [[player]]s, and make them pay 10 or 20 [[coin]]s for it. Occasionally, Bowser "stumbles into" the photo, but this does not affect the cost at all. Either way, Bowser then leaves without giving the players their photograph, which [[Toadsworth]] points out to the dejected group.

'''Bowser Time''', known in British English as '''Bowser Party''', is an event that occurs only in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', occurring every five turns. It happens only in the Party Cruise. The gauge always starts at 0% when the game begins, and each turn, after every [[minigame]], the gauge increases by 20%. The process repeats until the gauge is full, at which point [[Bowser]] shows up and does something that hinders players, and the gauge resets itself at 0%. When the game winds down to its last four turns, the gauge does not appear or fill up. Depending on the number of turns in a match, Bowser Time may occur only once or up to nine times. The gauge on the screen is Bowser's [[emblem]]. In later ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games, such as ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', landing on a Bowser Space triggers an event called "Bowser Time," but it is more similar to the usual effects of a Bowser Space than the special event from ''Mario Party 7''. Likewise, ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' features a gimmick called "Bowser Party"; however, rather than behaving the same as the special event from ''Mario Party 7'', this mechanic focuses on one player playing as Bowser, with others playing as any other character.


On [[Grand Canal]], [[Pagoda Peak]], and [[Pyramid Park]], he may take over one of the two [[Orb Shop]]s on the boards until a player passes by, forcibly selling an unusable item to him/her for an unfair price. Afterward, Koopa Kid then takes whatever the player was forced to purchase.

Bowser Time reappears in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' triggered when a player lands on a [[Bowser Space]]. In this event, the captain spins a "Bowser Wheel" which determines an event that can be good or bad, depending on their placing. The following events can happen:
==Names in other languages==
*Bowser Revolution: This event has the same effect as in past games, but, due to the removal of coins for this installment, Bowser instead takes everyone's Mini Stars and distributes them equally amongst the players.

*Lose Half of your Mini Stars: Bowser steals half of the captain's Mini Stars. If the captain is in last place, Bowser may double their total of Mini Stars or take none of the player's Mini Stars.

*Battle for half of your Mini Stars: Bowser will take half of everyone's Mini Stars and will initiate in a Free-For-All minigame to compete for them. The stars are distributed to the players based on the results of the minigame.
|JapR=Kuppa taimu
*[[Reverse Minigame]]: Bowser forces everyone to compete in a minigame with an objective opposite the one that the minigame normally requires. Afterward, Bowser will give ten Mini Stars to the player who came in last place. Four minigames that are playable are Tumble Temple, Thwomper Room, Billistics, and Chain Event.

*Give 5 Mini Stars to Last Place: Bowser forces the current captain to give five Mini Stars to the player currently in last place. If said player is the captain, Bowser will simply give him or her five Mini Stars.

*Give 10 Mini Stars to Last Place: Like with the event above, Bowser will force the captain to give ten Mini Stars to the player in last. If the player is the captain, Bowser gives him or her ten Mini Stars.

*Everyone Loses Special Dice Blocks: Bowser steals everyone's special Dice Blocks.

*Get 10,000 Mini Stars: Bowser will mock the captain for thinking that he'll actually give them 10,000 Mini Stars, ending the event with no further actions. If the captain is in last place, Bowser will state that he doesn't have 10,000 Mini Stars, but he will give them 10 instead.

—Bowser, Mario Party 7

Bowser Time, known in British English as Bowser Party, is an event that occurs only in Mario Party 7, occurring every five turns. It happens only in the Party Cruise. The gauge always starts at 0% when the game begins, and each turn, after every minigame, the gauge increases by 20%. The process repeats until the gauge is full, at which point Bowser shows up and does something that hinders players, and the gauge resets itself at 0%. When the game winds down to its last four turns, the gauge does not appear or fill up. Depending on the number of turns in a match, Bowser Time may occur only once or up to nine times. The gauge on the screen is Bowser's emblem. In later Mario Party games, such as Mario Party DS and Mario Party 9, landing on a Bowser Space triggers an event called "Bowser Time," but it is more similar to the usual effects of a Bowser Space than the special event from Mario Party 7. Likewise, Mario Party 10 features a gimmick called "Bowser Party"; however, rather than behaving the same as the special event from Mario Party 7, this mechanic focuses on one player playing as Bowser, with others playing as any other character.
