Boards are limited to [[Blue Space|Blue]], [[Red Space|Red]], [[Duel Space|VS]], [[Lucky Space|Lucky]], [[Event Space|Event]], and [[Star Space|Star]] spaces. Red and Blue spaces have been repurposed. Rather than changing the player's coin total, they have no effect on gameplay at all. The difference between the two is that one of three types of blocks will sometimes hover above blue spaces. Should the player stop on a space with a block, they will automatically break it and one of seven events can begin. | ||
