Star Space

The Star Space is a special type of space that appears on the boards throughout the Mario Party series. The star space is randomly placed on a Blue Space on the board map before the start of the game. When a player approaches the Star Space, they are asked if they will trade 20 coins for a Star. (The player can say "Yes" or "No". And then they either get a star or not.) When the Star is purchased, the Star Space will randomly switch positions on the board map. The Star Space does not count as a space a player can land on, thus passing the space will not lower the number of spaces the player can travel during their turn. The host of the Star Space varies on the host of the Mario Party game, but is usually hosted by the main host of that game.

There are special items --in the first seven installments (Mario Party 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7)-- like the Genie Lamp/Magic Lamp and Wiggler Capsule/Flutter Orb (later succeeded by the Star Pipe/Golden Pipe in later installments like Mario Party DS, Super Mario Party, and Mario Party Superstars). When used, the item takes the player to the Star Space. In contrast, there are specific items like the Lucky Lamp, Chomp Call, and Tweester Capsule (in Mario Party 3, 4, 5, and Mario Party Superstars) that move the Star Space. (In the Chomp Call's case, the player uses the item, four Chain Chomps appear, they --the Chain Chomps-- surround the host, and they --the Chain Chomps-- scare them --the host-- and the Star Space. That is, which moves the Star Space to a new location of the board.) Also, on certain board the role of the star space changes. In the board map Spiny Desert in Mario Party 3, there are two star spaces, one of them being a mirage. Also, the price of the star at the star space varies on different board maps. The last five turns event also change the role of the star space in different games. In Mario Party 5, one of the options of the last five turns events is to create five star spaces instead of one.

In Super Mario Party, players can purchase Stars from Toadette with 10 coins.
