1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all game pieces from the box.

4. Operating (Gameplay)

4.1 Game Objective

The objective of Monopoly Super Mario Celebration Edition is to be the last player remaining with money when all other players have gone bankrupt.

4.2 Player Turn

On your turn, follow these steps:

1. Roll the Die: Roll the single die.
2. Move Your Token: Move your character token clockwise around the gameboard the number of spaces indicated by the die.
3. Action Based on Landing Space: The action you take depends on the space your token lands on:
   • Properties: If you land on an unowned property, you may buy it for the price indicated. If you choose not to buy it, the Banker immediately auctions it to the highest bidder. If you land on an owned property, you must pay rent to the owner. Rent amounts are listed on the Title Deed cards and increase with Toad Houses and Princess Peach's Castles.
   • Question Block: If you land on a Question Block space, press the button on the yellow Question Block game piece. The sound effect will determine your action: collect or lose coins, or take another turn.
   • Community Chest / Chance: Draw the top card from the corresponding deck and follow its instructions. Return the card to the bottom of the deck after use.
   • Utilities (Bowser Jr. and Magikoopa): If you land on a utility space, the rent is determined by the number rolled on the die. If one utility is owned, rent is the amount shown on the die. If both utilities are owned, rent is double the amount shown on the die.
   • GO: If you pass or land on 'GO', collect 2 coins from the Bank.
   • Go to Jail: Move your token directly to the 'Jail' space. Your turn ends. You do not collect 2 coins for passing 'GO'.
   • Free Parking: No action is taken.
4. Build Toad Houses and Princess Peach's Castles: If you own all properties in a color set, you may build Toad Houses and Princess Peach's Castles on them. Toad Houses are built first, up to four per property. Once you have four Toad Houses on all properties in a color set, you can upgrade them to Princess Peach's Castles.
5. End Turn: Your turn ends, and play passes to the next player clockwise.

4.3 Winning the Game

The game ends when only one player remains solvent, meaning all other players have gone bankrupt. The remaining player is the winner.

5. Maintenance

• Storage: Store all game components in the original box when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
• Cleaning: Wipe game pieces and the board with a dry, soft cloth if necessary. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
• Battery Replacement: The Question Block requires 1 AAA battery. If the sound effects become faint or stop working, replace the battery. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.

6. Troubleshooting

• Question Block Not Making Sound: Check if the AAA battery is correctly inserted or needs replacement.
• Missing Game Pieces: If any components are missing upon opening the box, please contact Hasbro Gaming customer support.
• Game Duration: If the game is too long, consider implementing house rules such as starting with more money or limiting the number of properties that can be developed. If the game is too short, ensure all rules regarding rent and property development are being followed.
