The Seasonal Woodland is a peaceful and secluded forest that very few have visited. The flow of time is said to be different within it, where the passing of a year can feel like a regular day. Different creatures roam this forest in its different seasons, and this has a drastic change in the ecosystem.
This board was made to bring together several concepts, like the day and night cycle from Mario Party 6, with some visual/auditory elements from Click Clock Wood (Banjo-Kazooie), as well as a bit of Paper Mario.
The effects of Happening Spaces, Board Events, and other mechanics will be explained below, if you'd like to go into the board blind, please ignore the spoiler tagged area.
Core Mechanics:
[River] There's a river through the seasons that will be on the player's path in 2 of the junctions.
Misc. Events:
[Boo]
- The starting season will be randomized each game.
- Each season lasts 5 turns. The order cycle is [Spring->Summer->Autumn->Winter]
- Board events and available paths change based on the season that is active
- Hungry Hungry Plant (Spring): There's a Piranha Plant in front of you and it is starving! You will be prompted to feed the Piranha Plant an item(s). If you do, you'll receive coins equal to the shop price of the item(s) fed + 5 coins for each item fed after you tell it to back off. If you refuse to feed it at all, you will lose 10, 15, or 20 coins if you have 1, 2, or 3 items, respectively. If you have no items, the Piranha Plant will bite you for 10 Coins. If you have no items and no coins... hopefully you have nothing else of value on you.
- Troopa Taxi (Summer): A group of Paratroopas are providing a transportation service! You'll hop on a Paratroopa and move to the next Troopa Taxi Station. The destination is indicated by the rainbow arrows and the color of the Paratroopa next to your space.
- Gambling Gang (Autumn): A group of Goombas are selling dreams to all the poor suckers they can find. You will be prompted to try your luck at 1 of 3 luck-based games. The more expensive the option, the better the prizes, as well as your odds of winning. For the table of odds and prizes, please see the spoiler tag below.
- Kwismas Gift (Winter): Kwismas is a time of giving, and Mr. Blizzard is there to make sure the tradition isn't lost! You will be prompted to select a player to give one of your items to (you'll choose which). If you have no items, the gift will be 10 of your coins. If you have no coins and no items, hopefully Mr. Blizzard isn't feeling the Kwismas spirit too much...
[River] There's a river through the seasons that will be on the player's path in 2 of the junctions.
- Spring: Monty Mole set up a Leaf Bridge to cross the river! For 10 coins, you can pass through it.
- Summer: The river has dried out due to the immense heat! You can pass freely.
- Autumn: The river has been tainted, so Monty's Leaf Bridge is damaged. You can try to jump across the river, but if you're going too slow, you might fall in the river and end up back at START. Your speed is determined by the spaces remaining on your roll. For the table of odds, please see the spoiler tag below.
- Winter: The river has frozen over! You can try to cross the ice, but if you're going too fast, you might slip and lose some of your coins. The amount of coins lost is [Spaces Remaining * Turn Tier Multiplier]. The turn tier multiplier is either 1, 2, or 3, depending on whether it's the first 5 turns, the middle of the game, or the last 5 turns, respectively. Your speed is determined by the spaces remaining on your roll. For the table of odds, please see the spoiler tag below.
- Woody's Coin Fruit (Spring): You will receive a Coin Fruit, which is worth 10 coins.
- Woody's Forward Fruit (Summer): You will receive a Forward Fruit, which will increase the spaces remaining on your roll by 5.
- Warukio's Nasty Fruits (Autumn): You will receive either a Minus Coin Fruit, which will take 10 of your coins, a Minus Forward Fruit, which will subtract 5 from the spaces remaining on your roll, or a Minus Item Fruit, which will take away one of your items.
- Warukio's Kwismas Gift (Winter): In the spirit of Kwismas, you will receive an item. However, the item given will be an item that appears in Baby Bowser's Item Bag. Your current placing will determine what kind of item you get, and it accounts for bonus stars, if turned on. For the table of odds, please see the spoiler tag below.
Misc. Events:
[Boo]
- Spring: You will receive 5 coins before Boo's visit activates. It seems the economy is thriving!
- Summer: Boo is not available. The sunlight really is quite harsh on his pale complexion...
- Autumn: It's Spooktober and Boo is more powerful than ever! For 5 coins, you will be able to remove a player's Boo Repellant before Boo's visit activates.
- Winter: Boo is trying to get into the holiday spirit by stealing gifts. For 15 coins, you will be able to choose a player and steal an item of your choice. If you choose this service, you will not be able to steal coins/a star afterwards.
- Plant Paycheck (Spring): The player in 4th place will receive 30 coins. The coins are given at the start of their turn.
- Troopa Taxi Ticket (Summer): The player in 4th place will receive a Troopa Taxi Ticket, which will allow them to choose their next dice roll one time. The number chosen can only be 1-5, and the player will not be able to use items that same turn.
- Red Chaos (Autumn): When landing on Red Spaces, they will have a chance to turn into a Battle Space (20%), Bowser Space (20%), Game Guy Space (10%), or Chance Time Space (10%).
- Ice Giveaway (Winter): The player in 4th place will receive either a Reverse Mushroom, Golden Mushroom, Dueling Glove, or Boo Bell. The item is given at the start of their turn.
Bugs, Glitches, etc.:
- This board contains custom AI so that CPUs can make better decisions while at junctions and during custom events. While this AI was tested, it is possible for issues to occur.
List of Updates:
- v1.1: Fixed bugs when going in reverse while on spaces that would be blocked behind you when a season changes. Also fixed Warukio's Minus Item Fruit, which would sometimes not take an item away from the player.
- v1.2: Added winter river which was missing from the top event.
- v1.3: Fixed bug where the left red Paratroopa would not warp the player.
- v1.4: Fixed bugs when going in reverse after landing on a space that is the merge of 2 paths. Fixed bug where Winter Boo would subtract 15 coins while the screen was faded out.
- v1.5: Fixed bug where Last 5 Turn event messages would respond to Player 1's input rather than the losing player.
