The Minigame Space (also formatted as Mini-game Space) is a type of space in the Mario Party series.
History[edit]
Mario Party[edit]
The Minigame Space makes its debut in Mario Party. It is registered as Blue Space, except a Minigame Space initiates a single-player minigame where the player earns Coins from winning, and most minigames take away 5 Coins if they lose.
Mario Party 3[edit]
Minigame Spaces were redesigned to depict Tumble's face in Mario Party 3. They are in Duel mode only, and landing on one starts a Duel minigame, hosted by Tumble.
Mario Party 5[edit]
VS Spaces appear only in the Story Mode of Mario Party 5, now initiating a VS Minigame hosted by Misstar. The wagered Coins from each player and minigame played depends on the number of Koopa Kids remaining: 15 Coins each on a 1-vs.-3 minigame if three remain; 20 Coins each on a 2-vs.-2 minigame if two remain (with Toad as the player's ally); and 20 Coins each on a Duel minigame if one remains.
Mario Party 6[edit]
They similarly appear in the Solo Mode of Mario Party 6, where landing on the space starts either a 4-Player, a 1-vs.-3, or a 2-vs.-2 minigame against the three different colored Koopa Kids. There are also Battle Minigame Spaces and Duel Minigame Spaces, the latter involving a Duel minigame against a Koopa Kid.
Mario Party Advance[edit]
Minigame Spaces work as they do before in Mario Party Advance, except they give Mushrooms. Either Tumble hosts the minigame, giving the player two Mushrooms for winning, or Koopa Kid, who gives or steals a Mushroom for if the player wins or loses, respectively.
Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]
Landing on the space in Mario Party: Island Tour starts a minigame, though the rewards depend on the board. A pool of three random items are rewarded in Perilous Palace Path, with the winner choosing their item, then the player in second, while the player in third gets the remaining item. At Rocket Road, the winning player gets boosters from whoever landed on the space. Mini Stars are the reward in Star-Crossed Skyway, with first place getting three, second place getting two, third place getting one, and last place getting none; the number rewarded is doubled after the third Star Stage.
Mario Party 10[edit]
Minigame Spaces reappear in Mario Party 10, and whoever landed punches a block to determine the minigame to play.
