"Budding blooms and pesky pests." With Waluigi bringing the party to the island, so too does Daisy bring the party to her garden!

The main gimmick of this board is the layout, shaped like a flower. As it's easy to loop around the board on the main path, take advantage of the various "petals", each with their own benefits. Some are filled with items, some have more Happening Spaces, one has Boo, and one has Chance Time. Notably, while the board looks rather pleasant, Battle Minigames are actually quite common, so players will definitely be at each other's throats here! It's a bit like a nod to Daisy's feisty personality.

Speaking of events, there are a number at play here! There are 6 Happening Spaces near the sunflowers that produce so much pollen that they cause you to sneeze so hard that you get sent flying to another space! Take note that each instance of this event sends you in front of a potential Star Space...

The Happening Space in the top-left, in front of the Daisy mirror, will ask you a personality quiz with three questions. Depending on how you answer, you can get coins, get an item, or warp another player to your space!

The top petal, blocked by a Skeleton Gate, hosts two different events. The Happening Spaces right in front of Petey Piranha will activate a unique custom event (Pay Coins to Make Lose Stars or Coins, available to download). If you land here, you'll pay Petey Piranha 60 coins and he'll subtract 1 Star from each of your opponents, or 20 coins if they don't have a Star - quite the sabotaging tool! However, if you don't have enough coins, he'll shoo you away. The outer two Happening Spaces cause a Piranha Plant to bite you, making you lose more coins the higher the turn number.

The final Happening Space at the bottom petal, just next to the bank, warps you to the Super Mario Land-styled picnic mat. Here, Flutter will thank you for joining him at his picnic, and will give you a mushroom-themed item or even a Star!

Additionally, there are two toggleable rules for the board: the Last 5 Turns Event and a custom Bonus Star. The Last 5 Turns event activates at the end of the 6th last turn and will provide last-place with a gift: an item, coins, or, if players aren't tied for last, a miracle. The miracle will trigger one of the following new rules:

Blue Space Ruleset: When 4th place lands on a Blue Space, a Hidden Block is guaranteed to appear.
Red Space Ruleset: Landing on a Red Space now has a chance to become a Bowser, Battle, Chance Time, or Game Guy Space.
Koopa Bank Ruleset: When passing a Bank Space, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place players must pay extra coins.
Bonus Star Boost: A random one of the last place player's Bonus Stars is boosted each turn: 7 for Minigame Star, 10 for Coin Star, and 1 for Happening/Battle Star.
Snifit Benefit: The last place player will receive a coin bonus each turn.

Additionally, the custom Bonus Star is the Battle Star, awarded to whoever lands on the most Battle Spaces. Both of these features can be toggled off by setting their respective parameter in the Rules of the Board event to "false". Note that, by default from download, the Last 5 Turns Event is turned on and the custom Bonus Star is turned off.

Finally, the board now uses custom music courtesy of Mar&luna23, employing a slightly slower version of the Peach Gardens theme from Mario Kart DS. All credits go to them for creating the custom MIDI file. The custom music is already included in the JSON file. If you choose against using custom music, I suggest selecting "A Winner is ME!" as the in-game music track, which was the original music used for this board (and also the theme for Backtrack, where you would duel Daisy during story mode).

That about wraps it up for Daisy's Garden. It's nice to see it come full circle from the pre-PP64 days to the era of custom events! The board should be Everdrive-compatible. I'd also like to give thanks to Airsola, Rain, and Spongyoshi for assisting in buggy code and providing the coding basis for many of the custom events, in particular a special shoutout to Rain for sharing his "GetRand" function and Spongyoshi for creating the original Last 5 Turns Event. Finally, I'd like to thank FixedFun for sharing his high-resolution art assets of the item shop and Koopa bank, and I'd like to thank Mar&luna23 for creating the custom music MIDI file. Thanks are also in order to everyone who has given feedback on the board and helped to improve it! If you find any issues, do not hesitate to let me know! Many thanks!
