Toad then gets everyone's attention by saying whoever can beat Bowser will have the new land named after them. The cast quickly runs off to defeat Bowser and claim their prize. | ||

A player can only hold one item at a time here. In the future installments, more items can be held, usually 3. In [[Bowser Land]], there is a shop run by a [[Koopa Kid]], who will force the player who passed in front of it to buy an item on his choice at a higher price. It can be Mushroom for 12 coins, Skeleton Key for 12 coins, Warp Block for 17 coins, or Bowser Suit and Bowser Bomb (which are usually unobtainable via shopping) for 12 coins each. If the player passes by this shop while wearing a Bowser Suit, he will instead give the player a Skeleton Key, Golden Mushroom, Boo Bell, or a Magic Lamp for free. | A player can only hold one item at a time here.

This board is unlocked when all the other boards have been played at least once. Players are not dressed in any costumes, nor are they assigned a title. The rules of the game are turned around on this board. The effect this has is that, when a player passes by a bank, they gain five Coins instead of having to pay the equivalent sum of Coins. This will add up to a loan in the bank. Also, unlike in other boards (where any player who lands on a Bank Space will receive all previously deposited Coins), they will have to pay the full loan (or less, if they do not have enough; if they have no Coins, they will lose a Star). There is also an item shop where the owner, Baby Bowser, will force the player passing to buy an item he selects. While these features are prevalent, the main feature of this board is the Bowser Parade. After each five turns, the parade will start. Any player caught in the parade will lose two Coins per space, and they will eventually be sent back to the starting space. However, if no players are in the parade's path, the parade will be canceled. For players to control the path the parade will take, they can manipulate tiles with arrows on them. They can change the direction of the tiles by passing a Baby Bowser and paying him a fee of five Coins. The Happening Spaces near a red [[Warp Pipe]] make players warp to the next red Warp Pipe. Players who land on a Happening Space near the [[Blooper|Bloober]] at the north-west corner of the board will be taken to a "ride", where they will go in a circle until they manage to land on another Happening Space. | ||
