There was this one Story Mode game in Toadette's Music Room where I was playing as Peach of all people in order to 100% Mario Party DS, and Wario was the most dangerous guy ever.
He kept getting Stars no matter how hard I tried to stop him. I move a Star, he gets the 10 he needed to actually reach it. Toad gets a Star and tries to duel Wario for a Star, Wario steals it off him.
I wonder if I could get lucky with Hidden Blocks because I was Peach, but nope, Wario gets some coins from one on the same turn as Toad gets a Star from one seconds after wondering that.
Wario duels me for a Star in a luck-based minigame and thrashes me, leaving me at 2 Stars and him at 4 Stars. Thankfully Waluigi uses a Star Pipe to take the Star and make another spawn elsewhere that I would likely get, but Wario uses the trumpet to land before the Star. Then Toad for no reason whatsoever gives Wario all of his coins in the fashion of a duel game.
Luckily, I get two Stars thanks to a Triple Dice Block, stopping Wario from getting that Star he had landed before, and I then duel Waluigi by accident, stealing a Star off him and putting me in the lead. Wario gets another Star because of Triple Dice Blocks, making it 5 Stars to 5 Stars, but Wario had more coins than me, and was winning barely.
I soon have just one more coin than him thanks to a blue space, and Waluigi lands on a Bowser Space. He gets Bowser Charity (has to give 10 coins to each other player), and gives Wario enough coins to let him get the next Star. He gets it (but now has less coins than me), and I admit my defeat on this board as it's currently Turn 10 and Wario was fourth in the turn order, with me losing by over one Star.
...then he lands on the -1 Star Hex I placed on Turn 2 and I win by a Star. Best Story Mode game of MPDS I've ever had.
