Bad-Breath Express
- “Bwahaha! Whoo-whoo! Now that Bowser's on the scene, you're on a one-way trip to pain!”
- —Bowser, Mario Party 8
The Bad-Breath Express is a locomotive operated by Bowser that appears in Mario Party 8. It appears exclusively on the board Shy Guy's Perplex Express, and it bears resemblance to the Koopa King from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, similar to how the Barrel Train resembles the kart of the same name.
The Bad-Breath Express appears whenever a player lands on a Bowser Space, replacing the train's current engine, which could be either Shy Guy's standard one or Donkey Kong's Barrel Train. The first player who reaches Bowser's locomotive is forced to give a Star to him. However, if the player does not have any Stars, Bowser rewards them with ten coins. In the Star Battle Arena, Bowser steals half of the player's coins. If they have no coins, Bowser again rewards them with ten coins.
The Bad-Breath Express leaves either after someone reaches it or if somebody lands on a DK Space. If the player lands on a DK Space, the Barrel Train comes instead.
