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 will be asked if they would like to purchase a star for twenty coins. Once the star is purchased, the Star Pace 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.
