Ever wanted to play on Mario Party 1 boards, but with the mechanics of Mario Party 3? Here it is, a port of Peach's Birthday Cake with all its gimmicks! Let's run through them:
Mushroom Spaces are replaced with Item Spaces, and 1P Minigame Spaces are replaced with Battle Spaces. They serve a similar function, wouldn't you say?
There's only one Star Space here, run by Toad. He even cycles through different messages each time you buy a Star!
There's also only one junction on this board, governed by the Flower Lottery. You pay Goomba 10 coins, and pick from one of four seeds. If it's a Toad Flower, you go to Toad! If it's a Bowser Flower, you go towards Bowser! Out of every four seeds, there will be one Bowser Flower. Once a seed is picked, it cannot be selected again until all four seeds have been picked. Once all seeds have been picked, a new Bowser Flower will be selected and all the seeds will become available again (of course, it could be the same seed that is the new Bowser Flower). Note: If you reverse into the Flower Lottery, you will still go in the reverse direction, no matter which junction you take.
When you pass by Bowser, you will pay 20 coins for a Bowser Cake. I wonder what happens if he were to see someone wearing a Bowser Suit...
Landing on a Happening Space allows you to purchase a Strawberry Seed for 30 coins. It turns out, these grow into Piranha Plants! Once paid for, that Happening Space belongs to you: any opponents who land on it will give you a Star! After buying one, character flags will be loaded in to help keep track of who owns which Happening Spaces.
Right as you pass Start, you'll visit Koopa Troopa, who'll give you 10 coins. For every 10th player to visit him, they'll get bonus coins!. Until it's the last five turns, then he'll always give out 20 coins. I heard he likes Koopa Kards...
Skeleton Keys and Lucky Lamps are considered illegal items. (The first is useless and the second crashes the game if used.) As a result, if you have one on your turn, it will be confiscated by the Snifit Patrol. But don't worry, they'll still compensate you!
Another event of note is the Load Models event, which allows the Koopa, Toad, Goomba, and Bowser model to be loaded whenever the board loads in, along with any character flags to show who owns which Happening Spaces.
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.
- 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/Flower Star.
- Strawberry Seed Discount: Strawberry Seeds now only cost 15 coins each.
Finally, the board uses custom music - a port of its theme from MP1, made by Shadic64. The music is already included in the JSON files, but I've also attached the MIDI as a separate download in case you need it again. If you choose against using the custom music, I suggest selecting "Prologue 2" as the in-game music track.
This board should be Everdrive-compatible. I'd also like to give thanks to Airsola and Rain for assisting with coding, especially with providing assistance on using board RAM to keep track of specific values and with loading models. Special thanks also go to Spongyoshi, for his Last 5 Turns events and Rules of the Board event, and PartyPlanner64, for providing the basis for code that allows models to be actively loaded onto the board! I'd like to give a final shout-out to Shadic64 for creating the MIDI file for the Peach's Birthday Cake custom music! If you find any issues, do not hesitate to let me know! Many thanks!
Misc. notes/quirks:
-If you reverse while in Bowser's loop, you will not return to the Flower Lottery until you are moving forward again.
-The player occasionally does not properly face south after being bitten by a Piranha Plant.
-When using a Magic Lamp, the player will roll first before reaching the Star Space. If the player does not buy a Star, the Magic Genie's music will persist.
-If an error occurs when overwriting the board in PartyPlanner64, double-check that the custom music track is still present.
Edit Log:

-Board background hook includes an Airhook which allows the "Load Models" event to be run during board load-in, so that the models are always visually loaded in during gameplay.

-Rules of the Board: Adjusted some text.
-Snifit Patrol: No longer removes Magic Lamps.
-Star Space: Removed an unused parameter.
-Strawberry Seed: Reworked code to save on board RAM. No longer writes the Piranha Plant model pointer into unused font.
