The '''Skeleton Key''' is a [[key]] in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. It is named after an {{wp|Skeleton key|actual kind of key}} used on some types of locks. The Skeleton Key can unlock special doors throughout the various boards, usually for opening up secret paths or shortcuts. To use a Skeleton Key, a player must reach a door and choose to use it. The item is replaced by the [[Mini Mushroom]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', which allows partiers to access new paths via [[Gate (Mario Party 4)|gates]]. | |||

In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', the Skeleton Key has a golden bow on its head and is [[Luigi]]'s favorite item. It is always for sale at [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shops]]. The exception to this rule are the shops in [[Bowser Land]] where Baby Bowser forces players to buy a particular item, though he can force a player to buy a Skeleton Key. The only way to discard an unwanted Skeleton Key is by using it on a door, even if the player does not wish to travel through it. | In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', the Skeleton Key has a golden bow on its head and is [[Luigi]]'s favorite item.

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', the Skeleton Key was redesigned to have big black eyebrows instead and continues to be Luigi's favorite item. It is always for sale at [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shops]], regardless of whether or not [[Toad]] or [[Koopa Kid]] is running it. Unlike ''Mario Party 2'', it is possible for players to "use" a Skeleton Key on their turn like a normal item, which gives them the option to throw it away. | In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', the Skeleton Key was redesigned to have big black eyebrows instead and continues to be Luigi's favorite item.
