Landing on a [[DK Space]] causes [[Donkey Kong]] to appear on a [[Steel Keg|steel keg]] satellite, and give the player a free Star (a piece of Candy in Star Battle Arena). Landing on the [[Bowser Space]] causes Bowser to come down from his observation tower to steal a Star from the player (although if the player has no Stars, Bowser will give them ten [[Coin]]s instead). Everyone is gifted a total of twenty Stars (five for each player in Battle Royale; 10 for both teams on Tag Battle), not including handicaps. However, when a player lands on the DK Space, one additional Star can be received, or in the case of a Bowser Space, that additional Star can be taken out of circulation. Due to the alternating nature of the DK Space and Bowser Space, a maximum of 21 stars can be in circulation.

Landing on the [[Lucky Space]] takes the player to [[Shy Guy's Space Buffet]], which has a path of Blue Spaces, each one with three coins, and the player can also get three free pieces of candy, Bullet Candy or Bowser Candy. This is the only board in the game where the Lucky Space area does not lead the player to a free Star.

One of the [[Event Space|? Space]]s on the board causes Bowser to come down and chase the player all around the board in a complete loop. Anyone that is in their path will also get chased down (this essentially just moves all the players involved to the same space). The ? Space next to [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] makes him use his magic to shuffle everyone's Candies around, like he did back in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. The ? Spaces (arrow spaces in Duel Battle mode) next to the warp tube (underneath the observation tower) causes players to travel through the tube and reach to the other side of the board, always collecting twenty Coins along the way (but nothing in [[Mario Party 8#Star Battle Arena|Star Battle Arena]] because the tube is part of the board's path, not a shortcut). All the other ? Spaces make Bowser reverse the direction of the flow of the board.

Another feature of the board is the three directional buttons (two in Duel Battle), which players encounter when the path splits into two. When a player steps on one, it makes the player go in a random direction: left or right.

In [[Mario Party 8#Star Battle Arena|Star Battle Arena]], the winning conditions are to steal Stars from their opponent via the Bowser and Bullet Candies until their opponent has zero Stars. Players start with three Stars each. During the Star Battle Arena, if the player defeats [[Blooper]] or [[Hammer Bro]], they will get to [[Superstar Showdown|fight Bowser]] in a void-like arena. Also, the player will unlock Hammer Bro or Blooper, depending on who they fought. The opponent is random unless the player is using one of those two characters, in which case the other one will forcibly be the opponent. The player must complete Star Battle Arena with the first unlockable character in order to unlock the second one.

The change of direction in this board resembles the gimmick of [[Backtrack]], a duel board in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.

In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', there is a similar board to Bowser's Warped Orbit called [[Bowser Station]], as both boards are owned by Bowser and are in space.
