- —Toad,Mario Party 2
Rules Land is a special board inMario Party 2 that serves as a tutorial and outlines the rules of the game, as its name implies. It takes place in the sky on a ring-shaped cloud. The cloud has a rainbow bridge over its diameter, which is used to demonstrate choosing a direction when a player reaches such a path. It is the only map not to feature theBattleGoomba's barracks. TheKoopa Bank andItem Shop are featured as hot air balloons. When selecting the board, it will skip through the pipe section and automatically choosesMario,Peach,Luigi, andWario. The game is scripted, so every character rolls a predetermined number. This is soToad, the host, can explain the functions of eachspace and the possible types of minigames in which the players will participate when the turn is over. Right before the end of the tutorial, he explainsbonus stars. He also explains theBowser Bomb's effect onBaby Bowser without mentioning the item's name. Only the explanations for blue, red, Hidden Block, and star spaces are accompanied with their respective events.Minigames (including those from minigame spaces),Chance Time, Battle,Bowser, the Item Shop, the Koopa Bank, and Boo are all explained but not demonstrated, perhaps to save the viewer time.

Notes[edit]
- In the background ofCreepy Cavern, a board inMario Party 3, there are threeWhomps playing a board game on a map that strongly resembles Rules Land, complete with colored stones corresponding to the contemporary port colors for human characters; the board is also decorated with a stalagmite.
