Snifit's Stock Exchange has unique mechanics to let players rack up loads of coins or potentially lose them all! Around the board, there are three spots where Game Guy sells stocks for 10 coins. At the start of each player's turn, they'll gain or lose coins in accordance with the ticker in the middle and how many stocks they own! Various other features of the map will also change as fortunes rise and fall: During a bull market, item shops will have rarer items at a higher markup, and a particularly greedy Snufit may try to forcefully buyout all your stocks! However, during a bear market, item shops have more basic stock at much cheaper prices, and investors might try to sell you their stocks to recoup their losses!
Here's a Comprehensive List of Each Event:
Game Guy: At three spaces around the board, Game Guy will offer to sell you one stock for 10 coins when you pass. The stock will cause you to gain or lose coins each turn as denoted on the ticker in the center of the board.
Custom Item Shop: The Item Shops' stock fluctuates with the price of stocks! When prices are down, they'll have a narrower supply, but sell items much cheaper, and when prices are up, they'll sell rare items at exorbitant prices.
Greedy Snufit: A Snufit on the leftmost side of the map may try to forcefully buyout your stocks, or sell you his own, depending on the state of the market!
Bank Robbin' Mole: The Monty Mole behind the Skeleton Key Gate at the top of the map will rob the two players with the least coins, giving half of their coins to the two wealthiest players when landed on.
Whomp's Revolution: The Whomp behind the Skeleton Key Gate at the bottom of the map will offer to perform a Bowser Revolution-type effect when you pass it, splitting all players' coins equally for a fee of 20 coins. The 20 coin fee is taken from the activating player AFTER coins are split.
Alleyway Warps: In the two shortcut alleyways that run past the center of the map, landing on any of the happening spaces will cause all the players in that alleyway to get chased out to another spot on the map.
Credits and Thanks:
SluggishShroom: The Warukio Purge and Bowser Revolution events, which the Whomp Revolution and Bank Robbin' Mole in this map are based on.
Airsola: The Custom Item Shop, Give Current Player a Range of Coins, Buy a Star, and Give Current Player an Item events, which I used to cobble together the code to make stocks work, the outcomes for the Greedy Snufit, and the item shops. Additionally, looking at the events for Seasonal Woodland made it a lot easier to understand how to get multiple map backgrounds working, and Airsola provided a great deal of help with MIPS coding in the Mario Party Legacy Discord.
MarioComix: The Events to Load in Character Models for Gameguy, Toad, and the Whomp. MarioComix also provided a huge amount of help getting my MIPS events working in the MPL Discord.
Fixed Fun: The Item Shop asset I used for the custom item shops, as well as some help/recommendations on 3D modelling and replicating the vanilla MP3 style in Blender.
Known Issues:
DO NOT OVERWRITE WOODY WOODS WITH THIS BOARD! Doing so causes some of the custom events to allow you to roll a dice and move again after landing on them.
If a minigame happens in the middle of a turn (from a Battle Space, Game Guy Space, or Item Space), the ticker's state will be re-randomized when the map is loaded again, causing players that go later in the turn to potentially get a different payout from their stocks.
If you know how to solve either of these two issues, please leave a comment, as they have me stumped!

Version 1.0: Initial Release
Final Words:
I finished production on this map a little under two years ago, but didn't get around to the final polish and bugfixes until now. It was my first experience doing anything with Blender (to make the map background), MIPS, or re-arranging midis for the Mario Party soundfont, and I had a lot of fun making it! I want to give another huge thanks to the users of the Mario Party Legacy discord, the people there were incredibly helpful, and the discord is a great resource for learning the intricacies of MIPS and PartyPlanner64.
