The Gensokyo Trail

The Gensoukyou Trail (幻想郷トレイル) is the collective name for a series of Touhou Project-themed boards in the HotShots Party series of video games. On the boards, various characters from the Touhou series are in charge of the board's shops and games.

The main gimmick of these boards is they alternate between day and night every two turns, which changes the way how the board functions when a certain time of day has passed.

HotShots Party II
In this board, players are dressed as Gensoukyans and assume the title of muggles for male characters and youkai for female characters. One of the main methods of fast transportation is that Marisa Kirisame can take the player across the board for a fee of ten coins.

HotShots Party 3
The board reappears again as the second board the player plays in Story Mode, and the board layout has been given a complete makeover with a new layout and paths, while still keeping the day-and-night gimmick from the previous game. Marisa's Broom transporter reappears on this board, but can only be accessed by landing on the event space near Marisa's home. Upon landing on it, she will take the player who landed there on a ride on her broom absolutely free. Any other players who are caught in Marisa's path will immediately jump on.

Landing on the event space on the island segment will cause Remilia Scarlet to appear and question who is trespassing on the island. If one player is currently on the island, Scarlet will unleash a red mist similar to the events of Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and blind all players for two turns, with the direction on junctions being chosen randomly. If two or more players are on the island when this happens, Flandre Scarlet will appear and unleash a bullet storm on all players on the island, and will lose the amount of coins based on the number of Lucky Stars they are holding, multiplied by five. If the player does not have any Lucky Stars, they will simply lose all their items instead.
