With Mario's Rainbow Castle and playing Random Bonus, I'm a bit hesitant to say what might be the best overall strategy, but it might be this: Go big with the items that let you travel high rolls for the Sightseer Bonus. That way, you can reach the Item Shop, buy what you need so that you can get the Shopping Bonus and the Items Bonus, plus you need to travel the board to each section often to get the Red Space Bonus. Traveling the board with the highest rolls possible also ensures you go to Boo often, keeping the game even and within reach. You also need to travel a bunch to reach the two Bowser Spaces for Bowser Space Bonus, which, ideally should be pursued in the beginning and the middle of the game. It takes some guts to choose Bowser after the beginning when you earn a Star or two, but it can pay off big if you're bold. Pursuing the Event Bonus is a matter of limiting the time spent in the beginning portion of the board since it only has one Event Space. Best to avoid the beginning if you can by a Swap Mirror or Warp Block if your intention is to land on the most Event Spaces

I believe this board favors the skilled and those who are bold. If you're good at minigames, wager big if you duel and eliminate the chances of people stealing your stars through Boo. Land on a VS Space or two and try to hoard the coinage all to yourself since there are only two Bowser Spaces and most will be avoiding them after they have a Star or two. Plus you're going to need a lot of coins anyway, considering Bowser steals them with Ztar(s) and Boo is occasionally periodically going to go after you. Not to mention, the one with the most coins at the end is in the best position to win or pull a fast one and win with some luck on the Bonuses
