'''Hexes''' are items that are introduced in the game ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. They work as traps. Hexes are essentially the counterparts to the [[Character Space]]s of ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', replacing the space they are thrown to with that of the character's head. Only the person who set the trap can see what type of hex is set; other players see it just as a character icon.

'''Hexes''' are items introduced in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. Hexes can be used to place traps on spaces before rolling the [[Dice Block]], in a similar vein to [[Character Space]]s from previous ''Mario Party'' titles. Hexes can be placed on any [[Blue Space]] or [[Red Space]] within five spaces ahead or behind the player. Only the Hex placer can see what type of hex is set; other players see a character emblem laid over the space. These items cannot be bought and must be obtained by passing through a [[Hex Area]], or stolen from opponents using a [[Snag Bag]]. Hexes are stored in the same inventory as normal items, so a maximum of three Hexes can be carried at a time. After a player lands on a Hex and undergoes its effect, it is erased.  


When a player lands on their own Hex, most will grant the player five [[coin]]s and erase themselves. Alternatively, when a player lands on their own Star Block Hex or Coin Block Hex, they will still be able to collect stars and coins respectively.
These types of items are similar to most of the [[Orb|Capsules]] that came from ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' through ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. Hexes can be obtained by simply passing through a [[Hex Area]]; different types of Hexes may vary during gameplay. Players can carry three Hexes and normal items at a time. The players can use them to place traps on the board before the player hits the [[Dice Block]]. Hexes can be placed only on [[Blue Space|Blue]] and [[Red Space]]s during the game, and they can only be thrown within five spaces forwards or backwards from the player's current position.


In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', there is a set of landmine-like items that function similarly to the Hexes.
When a player lands on their own Hex the player placed earlier, the player gains five [[Coin]]s instead of executing the trap itself, and then it disappears. In addition, when the player places a Hex on a previous player's Hex in the game board, the previous player's Hex is overlapped by the new Hex.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The name "Hex" refers to both its hexagonal design and its ability to "curse" spaces.
*Hex is an abbreviation of the word hexagon, the shape of the items appearing the game. It is also a type of curse. They can be thought of as cursing the space the player throws it to.
*Setting off a purple Hex will cause it to grow large and flatten the victim, with exceptions to the 1-Star Hex and 2-Star Hex, which will fold vertically inward to squish them.
