Mario Party 9

I dont know if they have to pass the Silver star or have to land on the space.
 
Another reason that the car thing must be a different mode is the way it doesn't display your coin count.

How are Baby Mario and Baby Luigi unlikely? They are the only characters from Mario Kart Double Dash (dunno about Petey) who are not seen in Mario Party yet.
 
I think the car is just a feature. If you look at around 0:30 in the official trailer, you see Peach jumping over platforms. I thought this was just a mini game at first, but then I noticed the classic Mario Party style board after I investigated a bit deeper.

And just to clear things up, Bowser Jr is, in fact, a playable character. I just watched the trailer on the Nintendo Channel.

But this picture prove he is not playable. If he was playable, there would be two characters and the screen would be splitscreen

Bowser Jr. seems to be a boss in the game, theres the Picture Above, the Clown Car minigame, a NSMBW style minigame and they'll probably be more. Also, I think you just need to pass Silver Stars to get them, I could swear I saw them pass and get the Silver Star during the trailer.

There are Red pipes on both Sides of where the underground part is and theyre on the board as well, it's probably just a secret area for the board.
 
Maybe there will a story mode and Bowser jr challenges you at the end of each borad.
