'''Neon Heights''' is an American-themed board in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' set atop a skyscraper complex. It is largely based on [[wikipedia:Las Vegas|Las Vegas, Nevada]], and to a lesser extent, [[wikipedia:Hollywood|Hollywood, California]]; [[wikipedia:Cape Canaveral|Cape Canaveral, Florida]]; and [[wikipedia:New York City|New York City]]. It is complete with a theatre district, a movie set, a space center, and a baseball diamond. There is also a [[Mario]] statue that resembles the [[Statue of Liberty]]. Here, [[Shy Guy]]s are in charge of the attractions, while ''Top Hat Shy Guys'' are in charge of the [[Orb Shop]]s. On this board there are three [[Treasure Chest]]s, which appear in random spaces. If a player reaches a chest, [[Koopa Kid]] offers to open it for 10 [[coin]]s. One chest contains a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]], another 20 coins, and the other one contains a [[Bob-omb]], which blasts the player back to the start.

'''Neon Heights''' is an American-themed board in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' set atop a skyscraper complex. It is largely based on {{wp|Las Vegas|Las Vegas, Nevada}}, and to a lesser extent, {{wp|Hollywood|Hollywood, California}}; {{wp|Cape Canaveral|Cape Canaveral, Florida}}; and {{wp|New York City}}. It is complete with a theatre district, a movie set, a space center, and a baseball diamond. There is also a [[Mario]] statue that resembles the [[Statue of Liberty]]. Here, [[Shy Guy]]s are in charge of the attractions, while Top Hat Shy Guys are in charge of the [[Orb Shop]]s. On this board, there are three [[Treasure Chest]]s, which appear in random Blue Spaces. If a player reaches a chest, [[Koopa Kid]] offers to open it for 10 [[coin]]s. One chest contains a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]], another 20 coins, and the other one contains a [[Bob-omb]], which blasts the player back to the start. Once the Star has been purchased, three new chests appear.


Once the Star has been purchased, three new chests appear. This board may have been under secret control of [[Bowser]], because he and Koopa Kid claim that the chests and Stars belong to him. Additionally there is a toll gate, where Koopa Kid stops players to ask them to pay 10 coins to take the path he is blocking.

In Solo Cruise, players have to beat their opponent by getting three out the five Stars that are in five of the eight chests on the board (three of them have Bob-ombs) first by having Koopa Kid open them for a price. However, Koopa Kid always charges 5 more coins for every chest he opened (5 coins to 40 coins).

Accepting lets them play a coin game, where they have to shoot as many of the 15 Koopa Kid targets as possible. However, they must avoid shooting the [[Toadsworth]] targets, as doing so ends the game and leaves the player with nothing.

Since the player has 10 seconds to shoot the Koopa Kid targets, the total number of coins they can get on one turn with that is 15 coins, provided they shoot all the Koopa Kid targets.

When [[Bowser Time]] comes along, [[Bowser]] does one of four actions:

*Steals 10 coins from all of the players and put them in the chest which contains twenty coins. If the chest containing the Star is opened before this chest, then the extra coins are lost.
*Steals a Star from the player in first and puts it in the chest which contains a Star. Therefore, one of the chests contains two Stars until it is opened.
*Puts a [[Ztar|Dark Star]] in the chest containing a Bob-omb, and the player opening the chest with the Dark Star loses one Star. If the chest containing the Star is opened before this chest, the Dark Star disappears.

“Welcome to Neon Heights! This is the place where dreams are made...and broken! I say! Welcome to Neon Heights! Here you'll find Stars inside the treasure chests. There are 3 chests scattered around the board, but only 1 of them has a Star. If you pay Koopa Kid 10 coins, he'll open the chest for you. Hmm...I don't trust that at all... If someone finds the Star, it will move to a new chest. Then you must search anew. Do watch out, however! Sometimes Bowser will take a Star during Bowser Time. If that happens, play games on the board and collect coins so you can get it back!”
Toadsworth, Mario Party 7

Neon Heights is an American-themed board in Mario Party 7 set atop a skyscraper complex. It is largely based on Las Vegas, Nevada, and to a lesser extent, Hollywood, California; Cape Canaveral, Florida; and New York City. It is complete with a theatre district, a movie set, a space center, and a baseball diamond. There is also a Mario statue that resembles the Statue of Liberty. Here, Shy Guys are in charge of the attractions, while Top Hat Shy Guys are in charge of the Orb Shops. On this board, there are three Treasure Chests, which appear in random Blue Spaces. If a player reaches a chest, Koopa Kid offers to open it for 10 coins. One chest contains a Star, another 20 coins, and the other one contains a Bob-omb, which blasts the player back to the start. Once the Star has been purchased, three new chests appear.

This board may have been under secret control of Bowser, because he and Koopa Kid claim that the chests and Stars belong to him. Additionally, there is a toll gate, where Koopa Kid stops players to ask them to pay 10 coins to take the path he is blocking.

In Solo Cruise, players have to beat their opponent by getting three out the five Stars that are in five of the eight chests on the board (three of them have Bob-ombs) first by having Koopa Kid open them for a price. However, Koopa Kid always charges 5 more coins for every chest he opened (5 coins to 40 coins).
