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 Spaces.
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 players, and make them pay 10 or 20 coins 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.
On Grand Canal, Pagoda Peak, and Pyramid Park, he may take over one of the two Orb Shops 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.
The other things Bowser does are specific to individual boards, as listed below:
- He might destroy the bridges on the board and build his own bridges with Bowser Spaces on them, which remain for two turns.
- He might slam the mountain, forcing all the players down a few spaces.
- He might destroy a bridge for one turn so a player has to cut his/her turn short if he/she reaches it.
- He might destroy the bridges spanning the two sides of the board, forcing players to stay on one side or the other for three turns.
- He might take a Star from the player in first place and give it to Koopa Kid, who's somewhere on the board. This Star can then be taken by any player using a Chain Chomp, but Koopa Kid periodically moves his location (like how Bandit does in the Solo Cruise).
- He might steal coins from all the players and put them in the chest already containing twenty coins.
- He might steal a Star from the player in first and put it in the chest already containing a Star.
- He might put a Ztar in a chest.
- He might destroy a windmill (thus erasing any coins the players had invested in it) and build a new "blank" one without any coins.
- He might send a Koopa Kid to rob a windmill.
- He always sinks the island with the Star and, with the exception of the first Bowser Time, raises the island that was previously sunk. Players on the sunken island are sent back to the start and lose half of their coins.
