| | '''Mini Stars''' are small, light-colored rainbow stars, introduced in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. They originated from outer space, and are similar to [[Coin]]s from the first eight [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' games]], as players will need to collect these items while advancing on the stages. When collected, they add to the current player's Mini Star total. |

| ==History==
| | In the solo mode of ''Mario Party 9'', it is revealed that Bowser and Bowser Jr. have used a vacuum-like machine to suck all the Mini Stars from outer space, to 'put them into good use'. Therefore, Mario and the gang go to rescue the Mini Stars. |

| When a [[minigame]] ends, certain amounts of Mini Stars are awarded to players in different places. After boss battles, 'Captain Bonuses' are also given to the captain of the current turn. Mini Stars can also be obtained by landing on [[Mini Star Space]]s, commonly found whenever the player lands on a [[Lucky Space]]. Captain Events also revolve around the players gaining Mini Stars in the form of special, board-specific events. The most common way to obtain Mini Stars, however, is to simply run into them on the board. On the board, they can be collected in groups of either three, five, or ten. The maximum number of Mini Stars a player can have is 999.

| All Mini Stars that the player collects are converted into party points when Party Mode is finished. However, if any Mini Stars are used as a handicap, the handicap amount is deducted from the party point total. Likewise, Mini Stars that are collected in Solo Mode are converted into party points too, but only after the player completes [[Bowser Station]]. Also, if a player finishes a board with less than 10 Mini Stars, then 10 Party Points are awarded regardless and is independent for each player, but only in the Party Mode. | | The entire category of Bonus Mini Stars can be found [[Bonus Star (Mario Party)#Introduced in Mario Party 9|here]]. |

| Mini Stars do not appear in the secret stage, [[DK's Jungle Ruins]]. Instead, they are replaced by [[Banana]]s. The same applies for Mini Ztars, which are replaced by Z-Bananas. | | Mini Stars do not appear in the secret stage, [[DK's Jungle Ruins]]. Instead, they are replaced by [[Banana]]s.

| Mini Stars make a return in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', along with [[Mini Ztar|Mini Ztars]]. They have the same role as in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. They only appear on [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board and players have to collect the most to become the superstar of the board. They can be obtained by passing through Star Stages and winning minigames.

| |
| Mini Stars reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', but only in the Mario Party mode. The Mini Stars serve the same purpose as they did in ''Mario Party 9''. Like ''Mario Party 9'', if an assistance is used (5, 10 or 20 Mini Stars), these don't count towards the Party Point total, although the starting value counts towards the total. Unlike ''Mario Party 9'' though, the Party Point system is dependent and there is no compensation bonus in multiplayer if only one player ends with less than 10 Mini Stars, though 10 Party Points is the minimum amount for a board playthrough.

| | |
| ===''Mario Party: The Top 100''===
| |
| Mini Stars appear as collectibles in the Minigame Island Tour from ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. Players earn Mini Stars whenever they clear a minigame, and the amount they receive is dependent on their placing, with the best placing receiving all Mini Stars while the worst receiving none. Some minigames give out more Mini Stars than others, such as the final minigames on the map, though the default amount each minigame has is three Mini Stars. Earning enough Mini Stars unlocks certain Special Minigames, and if players obtain all Mini Stars, they unlock Master difficulty for computer players.
