'''Bowser's bogus items''' are useless items forcibly sold to partiers by [[Bowser]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'' when they pass him on a board. On [[Luigi's Engine Room]] and [[Wario's Battle Canyon]], he does not sell the player an item, but instead provides them with some worthless "service."

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center"
Bowser forces the player to buy a Ztar. Unlike Ztars later in the ''Mario Party'' series, this one does not count as a negative star. However, the Ztar costs 40 [[coin]]s as opposed to a regular [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] costing 20, making it the most expensive of the bogus items. It should be noted, though, that immediately after buying the Ztar, the player will pass [[Koopa Troopa]] and earn back 10 coins (20 in the last 5 turns).

The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

Bowser's bogus items are useless items forcibly sold to partiers by Bowser in Mario Party when they pass him on a board. On Luigi's Engine Room and Wario's Battle Canyon, he does not sell the player an item, but instead provides them with some worthless "service."
