'''Koopa's Seaside Soiree''' was an island resort board hosted by [[Koopa]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. He built it because he always wanted to have a place to hang out by the sea, and wanted his friends to have fun in it. Here, Koopas were everywhere, and were put in charge of the games and shops (the one hosting wore stripe pants and a bow tie).

The main attractions here was the dolphins, and the [[Koopa Kabana]]. Players that landed on a [[? Space]] next to a dock (with a picture of a fruit on it) summoned a [[Dolphin]] that took them to another dock with the corresponding picture. One of the Koopas was constantly trying to get [[coins]] from the players so that he could build the resort hotel, the Koopa Kabana. Every time players passed the Koopa space, they paid an upwards of 5 coins. The more coins invested, the better the Kabana looked. If players landed on one of the ? Spaces in front of it, the Koopa asked that he/she paid the fine for staying at the Kabana, which was the amount of coins that was invested. When the fee was paid, a tidal wave came in and destroyed the Kabana, so the investments started all over again to build another one.

Every time players pass the Koopa space, they pay five coins. The more coins invested, the more sophisticated the Kabana appears. If players land on one of the ? Spaces in front of it, the Koopa asks that they pay for a one week stay at the Kabana, which is the amount of coins that is currently invested. When the fee is paid, a tidal wave comes in and destroys the Kabana, wasting that player's money. The investment cycle will then start from the beginning.


The [[Item]] [[Mini-Game]] of the board involved a hitting one of three melons that had an item in each. Players were spun around before they chose, making it harder to make a choice. The Coin Mini-Game involved fishing. Players were given the choice of one of the fishing rods. The chosen rod was used to reel in the fish that was caught on it. The bigger the fish, the more coins players won.
Another feature of the board is the two [[Ukiki]]'s [[Banana Peel]] Junctions on the left and right edges of the board. When they are approached, the Ukiki at the junction will throw a banana peel down, which the player then slips on. This causes them to advance in a random direction, up or down. If the player is wearing a [[Bowser Suit]], they will be able to choose a direction manually, because, as the game states, "[[Bowser]] doesn't slip on banana peels".


In Story Mode, if the player beat his/her opponents on the board, Koopa challenged him/her to a Mini-Game called [[Kareening Koopas]] in order to win his present.

Koopa Troopa, Mario Party 4

Koopa's Seaside Soiree (known as Koopa's Seaside Soirée in Europe and Oceania) is an island resort board hosted by Koopa in Mario Party 4. He built it because he always wanted to have a place to hang out by the sea and wanted his friends to have fun in it. Here, Koopas are everywhere and are in charge of the games and shops (the one hosting wears a light blue Hawaiian shirt).

Artwork from the board selection screen.

The main attractions here are the dolphins and the Koopa Kabana hotel. Players that land on a Happening Space next to a dock (with a picture of a fruit on it) summon a Dolphin that takes them to another dock with the corresponding picture. The player cannot refuse to ride the dolphin. One of the Koopas constantly tries to get coins from the players so that he can build the resort hotel, the Koopa Kabana. Every time players pass the Koopa space, they pay five coins. The more coins invested, the more sophisticated the Kabana appears. If players land on one of the ? Spaces in front of it, the Koopa asks that they pay for a one week stay at the Kabana, which is the amount of coins that is currently invested. When the fee is paid, a tidal wave comes in and destroys the Kabana, wasting that player's money. The investment cycle will then start from the beginning.

Another feature of the board is the two Ukiki's Banana Peel Junctions on the left and right edges of the board. When they are approached, the Ukiki at the junction will throw a banana peel down, which the player then slips on. This causes them to advance in a random direction, up or down. If the player is wearing a Bowser Suit, they will be able to choose a direction manually, because, as the game states, "Bowser doesn't slip on banana peels".

The Item Minigame of the board, Melon Mash, involves hitting one of three melons that have an item in each. Players are spun around before they choose, making it harder to make a choice. The Coin Minigame, Fish Fetch, involves fishing. Players are given one of the fishing rods. The chosen rod is used to reel in the fish that gets caught on it. The bigger the fish, the more coins players win.

In Story Mode, if the player beats the opponents on the board, Koopa Troopa challenges the player to a minigame called Kareening Koopas in order to win his present.

The board's music is an arrangement of the Story Mode's duel boards' music in Mario Party 3.
