Layout
The players start out in front of a path leading through a plain. The players ride across the path, past a windmill, past a river, and up two short mountains. At the top of one the mountains is where the Fortress is and where the stage's mini-boss, Lakitu is fought. After the battle is a large gap due to a broken bridge. In the gap, alot of Mini Ztars wait for the players. In order to jump the gap, each player (with the last player using a 1-10 Dice Block) must get a combined total of sixteen on the Dice. After the mountain and gap, the players ride the plain and reach a forest where the Bowser Gate is and where the boss, Wiggler is fought. Alot of positive events happen on this board, One of these events is when the captain lands on a Lucky Space, he/she will then climb a beanstalk to receive some Mini Stars (2 for each space they pass). The captain event for this board is that a cannon shoots the car across the river and onto a island. This cannon looks the same as the special ones in New Super Mario Bros..
Lakitu Boss Battle
The name of this minigame is Sock It to Lakitu. The players are on a grassy platform above the clouds, Lakitu the hovers in front of the platform. Lakitu obviously throws Spinys on the platform which makes the player lose points when hit. Floating blocks are scattered on the platform. The players must hit the block when it shows a picture of a Bill Blaster. The Bill Blaster shoots a Bullet Bill at Lakitu giving the player points. Players must avoid hitting the block when it has a picture of a Spiny because it will come out of the block. Touching a Spiny will deducted one point off the player's score. After knocking Lakitu's life to half, he'll throw a giant Spiny which will deduct two points off the player's score.
