In the original Mario Party, what is the name of the board that features a giant cake?

In the original Mario Party, the board featuring a giant cake is called Peach’s Birthday Cake. It is one of the game’s six main boards, each themed around a playable character from the 1998 Nintendo 64 debut.

The board presents the party as a birthday celebration for Princess Peach, with players moving across a cake-shaped course surrounded by strawberries and other dessert imagery. Its path-based layout gives the board a distinctive identity: players can encounter branching choices and spaces that alter the route or trigger special events.

Peach’s Birthday Cake is remembered for its unusually punishing strategy. A happening space can cause a Piranha Plant to appear, and players may spend coins to plant it on the course. If another player later lands there, the plant can take coins or even steal a Star, making the board far more dangerous than its cheerful theme suggests. The original game was released in Japan in 1998 and internationally in 1999.
