The Item Space is a rare space that appears on boards in Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3, Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party: Star Rush, Mario Party: The Top 100, Super Mario Party, Mario Party Superstars, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. The player can use it to play a minigame for an item, unless it is the final turn.

History

Mario Party 2

The Item minigame played when landing on an Item Space in Mario Party 2 depends on the board: "Roll Out the Barrels" in Pirate Land, "Give Me a Brake!" in Western Land, "Hammer Slammer" in Space Land, "Mallet-Go-Round" in Mystery Land, "Coffin Congestion" in Horror Land, and "Bowser Slots" in Bowser Land. The space has no effect if the player already has an item, which they can have only one of at a time.

Mario Party 3

The Item Space is similar in Mario Party 3, but the Item minigames are not board-specific and are chosen by roulette. Alternatively, Toad or Baby Bowser may proceed to visit the player and ask them a question. Baby Bowser usually provides yes-or-no questions, where giving the immature answer usually earns the player more items or an effective type, but the mature response can get them no items. Toad provides multiple-choice questions, where giving the selfish response is likely to earn the player nothing whilst the more considerate choices can get them either more items or an effective type.

Toad's possible questions can be:

• "If you saw 50 coins lying in the road, what would you do?"
• "If you were to get an item, what kind would you want?"
• "If you were to have Boo get something for you, what would it be?"
• "What kind of item would you like to have?"

Baby Bowser's possible questions can be:

• "Are you a picky eater?" (saying "yes" is the immature response whilst "no" is not)
• "Can you be patient for things you really want?" (saying "no" is the immature response whilst "yes" is not)
• "Do you always keep your room clean?" (saying "no" is the immature response whilst "yes" is not)
• "Do you brush your teeth after every meal?" (saying "no" is the immature response whilst "yes" is not)
• "Do you like to study?" (saying "no" is the immature response whilst "yes" is not)
• "Do you like to tease?" (saying "yes" is the immature response whilst "no" is not)

Mario Party: Island Tour

The Item Space is exclusive to the Perilous Palace Path board of Mario Party: Island Tour. It is depicted blue with a ? Block on it. The player can receive any of the items from land on the board:

• Setback Shell
• Backwards Bill
• Blooper Chopper
• Lightning Score Striker
• Lakitu Leech
• Dash Mushroom
• Golden Dash Mushroom
• Super Star
• Crazy Kamek
• Chaos Kamek

• Dash Mushroom
• Golden Dash Mushroom
• Poison Mushroom
• Warp Box
• Duel Glove
• Double Dice Block
• Coinado

Mario Party: The Top 100

Item Spaces return in Mario Party: The Top 100. They work the same as in Mario Party: Star Rush.

Super Mario Party

The Item Spaces in Super Mario Party function similarly to those in Mario Party, with the player hitting a roulette block allowing them to gain one of three different items, depending on the space. Unlike other games, Item Space remains operational even during the final turn, despite having no effect by then. A complete list of obtainable items is below:

• Dash Mushroom

• Custom Dice Block
• Golden Pipe
• Hidden Block Card
• Coinado

• Mushroom
• Cursed Dice Block
• Double Dice
• Triple Dice
• Skeleton Key
• Warp Block
• Super Warp Block
• Custom Dice Block
• Boo Bell
• Double Star Card

Super Mario Party Jamboree

• Custom Dice Block

• Triple Dice
• Mushroom
• Mushroom Tickets
• Payday Double Dice
