'''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]] located within five spaces ahead or behind the player. Only the Hex placer can see what type of hex is set; other players see it as the character's emblem. These items cannot be bought and must be obtained by passing through a [[Hex Area]]. 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.

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 Spaces 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 coins 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.
