The next board is DK's Jungle Adventure, this is Donkey Kong's board, and it is said there is a treasure hidden in the ruins, and the Super Star of this board can access the ruins to find the treasure.
I play as Donkey Kong, and for the CPU players, I choose Yoshi, Peach, and Luigi, I was meant to pick Mario, but accidentally picked Luigi, but decided to go with it. This is the first board where Toad swaps places to give the Star. There are parts of the board where you have to pay Whomp 10 coins, otherwise Whomp will not let you pass, I do like how they brought Whomps into this game, as they originated from Super Mario 64. I like the Indiana Jones reference with the rolling boulder whenever you step on a Happening Space, although that would screw you out of visiting Boo and accessing the western part of the board.
Bowser for this board gives you a Gold-plated Bowser Statue, and you lose 10 coins, this is the least amount of coins you lose from Bowser in any board in this game.
With the Mushroom Shop, you can buy items, the most important one to pick up is the Lucky Box, this gives you 10% more coins at the end of a game, while the Casino Box can be good for getting double money, the downside is you can lost half of the coins earned, so I prefer the Lucky Box. I bought the Plus Block, this gives you coins based on the number rolled, these blocks appear randomly, you can go to the Mushroom Bank to activate them. Other blocks you can get are the Minus Block, where you lose coins, Speed Block, where you can roll 8 to 10, and Slow Block, where you roll 1 to 3, I will explain about the Warp Block and Event Block when I get around to buying them.
One secret about Koopa Troopa that is very less known, while Koopa gives you 10 coins, if you pass by him 10 times, he gives 20 coins, and it goes up by 10 for every 10 times you pass him, and he gives 20 coins in the last 5 turns.

For each board, I will list which minigames make their first appearance for each board, and I will explain about one of the minigames, that is Balloon Burst, this minigame was different between the European and North America release, in the European version, the song "Move to the Mambo" plays, and this song is not in the North American release, instead the song would be "Faster than All", which plays in Handcar Havoc and Slot Car Derby, but anyway, here are the minigames that first appeared for this board.
