Koopa's Tycoon Town: Difference between revisions

'''Koopa's Tycoon Town''' is a board in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Goomba]]s are seen sitting comfortably while cars and other vehicles drive by on the city streets. To obtain [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s on this board, players must invest [[coin]]s in [[Hotel]]s. This is similar to both [[Koopa's Seaside Soiree]] from ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' and [[Windmillville]] from ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', except that with more coins invested in a Hotel, the more beneficial it is to the player or team. After a Hotel has over 20 coins invested, it becomes a 2-Star Hotel, and after accumulating 50 coins total, it becomes a 3-Star Hotel, the final Hotel stage. However, only the player who has invested the most coins owns the Hotel and its Stars. It is impossible for two or more players or teams to invest the same number of coins in any one Hotel. There is a fixed and limited number of attainable stars on this board: when all Hotels are under ownership, the minimum number of Stars in play is 11; while the maximum is 21 (if counting the 3-Star Hotels on the Lucky Space areas). On [[Star Battle Arena]], however, because there are three normal Hotels, the minimum number of Stars in play is 3; while the maximum is 9. Hotels can be fully owned (and hence investments blocked) by a total investment of 100 coins from one player into the Hotels; however, they can still be stolen from by [[Bandit]] or [[Bowser]], thus negating the owner’s full ownership.
