Say you want to use a bullet bill or bowser candy it's good to know that bowser's place has 18 spaces in Star Battle Arena but not in party mode

When you enter the Free Play Arcade, if you made one or more Miis, they will all appear in the Arcade when you first enter. They appear when Ballyhoo welcomes you.

Whenever you land on a Lucky Space, you get to go the Lucky Route! It's all Blue Spaces and there are 3 coins on each space! And you get a Star at the end of it. Here's each one:

DK's Treetop Temple: Located at the DK Statue. You are sent to an area in the back. This is your basic Lucky Route. It has a free Star at the End.

Goomba's Booty Boardwalk: Located on a bridge. A Dolphin takes you to Lucky Island! It has less spaces than the Treetop Temple. So you can get the free Star faster!

King Boo's Haunted Hideaway: Find the Space near the stairs to the Second Floor. You will travel the second floor and at the end you will find King Boo for a star. But get to him before someone else or the mansion will change and you'll leave the Lucky Route! That would be unlucky.

Shy Guy's Perplex Express: Located in some random Train Car. You'll get dropped off at PayDay WayStation. Collect the coins off the 5 spaces to get your free star. Then Shy Guys will take you back to the train.

Koopa's Tycoon Town: This one has 2 Lucky Spaces!! They both lead to a 3-Star Hotel! They stay 3-Star even with 0 Coins! You can get 3 Stars for only 1 coin! But someone else could come so pay more.

Bowser's Warped Orbit: Located somewhere... It takes you to Shy Guy's Diner. Since the only way to get Stars on this board is from other players, you will get lots of orbs instead! Cross your fingers! Because you might get Bowser and Bullet Candies!!

In Koopa's Tycoon Town, if someone lands on a DK space, he will invest for that person (it can't be you to do the trick). If he invests into a hotel and you still have more coins, make sure it gets to a 3-star hotel after DK invests. If done correctly, you should get a star or two. A good way is to play with a friend. If they use slow-go candy and land on the DK space, make sure he invests in a hotel where you invested 49 coins. You'll earn a star (or two). This is how I beat this level in Star Battle Arena with Blooper so I could unlock Hammer Bro.

beat star battle arena once. on the 6th stage( bowsers orbit stage) you will be against hammer bro.

When you pass the southeast hotel in Koopa's Tycoon Town with no coins, Koopa sounds like Goomba!!
