"Cosmic cold and playful Lumas." Welcome to the galaxy of Rosalina's Cosmic Icecap!
According to Rosalina, the Comet Observatory had lost power and entered a deep hibernation state, gradually accumulating snow and stardust until it froze over! It's up to you to gather Star Power to light the beacon so that it can fly once more!
The layout is mainly a loop around the Comet Observatory, featuring an N64-esque design of Rosalina by KatLime (DeviantArt). There are two outer "branches" to the main loop, and you'll notice the banks and shops situated on Starshrooms around the board.
As is evident in the description, Lumas are plentiful on this board, and are involved in several events:
Launch Star: Yellow Lumas can be found at one of four "Luma Spaces" (the extra Star Spaces). If you pay 5 coins, the Luma will transform into a Launch Star and send you to another Luma Space or back to Start, at random. It's a good way to fast travel, and it might be worth it if the Star is right after another Luma Space!
Pull Star: Happening Spaces near a Blue Luma will cause the Blue Luma to transform into a Pull Star and let you steal an item from an opponent! If no opponents have items, or if you already have three items, you will instead get a random number of Star Bits (more on this later).
Green Star: Happening Spaces near a Green Luma will cause the Green Luma to give you a Green Star gift and summon a Hidden Block to your location! The exact Hidden Block chances (coins, Star, or item) are based on your placement.
Red Star: The Happening Space near the Red Luma will grant you the power of Red Star flight, allowing you to travel to a rival's space. As long as it's not a Happening Space, the space's effect will be activated again when you land!
Star Bit Cluster: Landing near a cluster of Star Bits, a Luma will ask you to trade some of them for a small number of coins. And, if you've got Star Bits stashed up, you'll cash these in for 2 coins each!
Luma Shop: Lumalee! Lumabop! Welcome to the Luma Shop! A variety of items are on sale:
- Mushroom: A simple Mushroom, costs 5 coins.
- Skeleton Key: A simple Skeleton Key, costs 5 coins.
- Comet Medal: The Comet Medal immediately summons a Prankster Comet to change the Star's location! Costs 5 coins.
- 10 Star Bits: Adds 10 Star Bits to your stash! Costs 5 coins.
- 20 Star Bits: Adds 20 Star Bits to your stash! Costs 10 coins.
- Red Star: Grants you the power of Red Star flight, allowing you to travel to a rival's space. Unlike the Red Luma event, you will still continue to move. Costs 10 coins.
- Life Mushroom: Exchange 1 Star for 60 coins! That's like 40 coins for free!
- 1-Up Mushroom: Exchange 1 Star for a 1-Up Mushroom. The next time you start your turn with 0 coins, it'll be traded for 100 coins!
Another prevalent element of the board are Ice Flowers. Guess this is their natural habitat?
Ice Flower: Landing near a cluster of Ice Flowers, you'll get bombarded with a blast of ice and lose a number of coins.
Ice Flower Blockade: This board doesn't have a Skeleton Gate. Instead, there are a couple of Ice Flowers dancing on the road and blocking the path to an ice tunnel. If you give them a Skeleton Key or 10 coins, they'll let you by. On the other side of the ice tunnel, you can find Boo! (Note: it is impossible to reverse into Boo. No exploiting here!)
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/Launch Star.
- Luma Discount: Luma Spaces are now free for all players to warp.
All in all, that about wraps it up for this board! It 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 Koopa bank. If you find any issues, do not hesitate to let me know! Many thanks!
