[[Koopa Kid]] guards the chests, but can be bribed into awarding the contents of one in exchange for ten coins. If the Bob-omb is found, the [[player]] (or team) will be blown back to the start of the board. If the Star is found, a new chest containing a Star will appear elsewhere on the board. The other two chests will then be shuffled around as well, or added to the board if they've already been claimed. There is also a [[Bowser Time]] event exclusive to Neon Heights in which Bowser will steal either a Star from the lead player, or ten coins from each player, then order Koopa Kid to stash what was stolen in the chest that already contains either the Star or twenty coins, which can them be recollected by whoever opens the respective chest. There is also the Neon Heights-exclusive [[Lakitu Orb]]. Using it will trigger [[Lakitu]], who will select a chest at random and bring it to the player, who can open it on the spot without having to pay Koopa Kid. Treasure Chests also appeared in the Single-Player Bowser Mini-Game [[Treasure Dome]] where players must open each chest by using a key.
