Gameplay
The game is similar to Monopoly in that players roll one die to advance around a board, purchase unowned property they land on and earn money when opponents land on the player's property. The game differs from Monopoly in that players can buy and sell stocks of a block, affecting the value of block's stock up by buying or down by selling that block's stock or by developing a player owned property of that block which increases the value per share for that block's stock. Also unlike Monopoly, it is not necessary to own the entire block to develop a property, though controlling more than one property of a block allows the player to develop their properties into larger buildings to collect more from opponents when they land on them. Players must collect a set of four suits, heart, diamond, clover and spade, to level up and collect additional gold when the pass the starting position/bank. To win a player must make it back to the bank with the board's required amount, which includes the total value of the player's stocks, property value, and gold on hand.
Outfits
Unlike Itadaki Street Special, the player is not a Dragon Quest or Super Mario character, but a boy or girl that can dress up in different outfits from those series. After selecting a gender, the player begins by choosing from eight facial styles, which do not change throughout the game. Then, the player selects from one of three hair styles, and finally from one of three sets of clothes. The hair styles and clothing not selected appear in the shop for purchase later in the game.
Outfits include hair/hats/helmets, clothes/armor, and two different sets of accessories that can be mixed and matched to a player's liking. Additional outfit items may be purchased with money earned by playing or completing various boards; some of the items can be obtained for free by winning a board.
