'''Star Spaces''' (referred to generically as '''Stars''' in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'') are [[Space (Mario Party series)|spaces]] that appear in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], where if a [[List of characters|character]] (who has 20 coins) passes by one, the host of the ''Mario Party'' game asks the character who passes by the space if the player will trade 20 coins for a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] (giving them a "Yes" or "No" answer). The character can say "Yes" or "No" and the character can either get a Star or not depending on the choice.
A '''Star Exchange''',<ref>{{cite|quote=At a Star Exchange... Purchase stars at half the cost.|author=[[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s [[Jamboree Buddy]] ability description|date=2024|title=''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> originally known as a '''Star Space''' (or '''star space'''), a '''Star Spot''' (or '''Star Splurge Space''' at [[DK's Stone Statue]]) in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', and generically a '''Star''' in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', is a [[Space (Mario Party series)|space]] in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. When a player character passes one, a character, usually the [[guide]], offers them to trade a number of [[coin]]s, usually 20, for a Star. However, depending on the board, the cost can range from as low as 5 coins to as high as 40. On several boards, the Star Exchange moves elsewhere once the Star has been received, but there are exceptions, the earliest being [[Mario's Rainbow Castle]] from ''[[Mario Party]]'', but also [[Faire Square]] from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' or DK's Stone Statue in ''Mario Party DS''. Prior to ''Mario Party 6'', the Star Space may sometimes appear directly where a character is standing, although that character cannot begin their turn with the option to buy the Star.


After the character gets the star, the Star Space moves to a different location in the map. On certain boards, such as [[Faire Square]] from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', and [[DK's Stone Statue]] from ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', the Star Space's location remains stationary. It is called a Star Splurge Space in the DS game.
On Party Rules in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', every board except Mario's Rainbow Castle has a [[Last Five Turns Event|Homestretch]] event titled "Add one Star Exchange" that adds a second Star Exchange.
 
Although it is impossible to actually land on Star Space, there is a small chance that a new Star Space will appear directly where a character is standing. However, this character is unable to buy the Star if the Star is on the current space where he or she is standing.
 
When characters pass a star space, they can buy it if they have enough coins. How many coins they have to trade depends on the board. Traditionally, they have to trade 20 [[coin]]s for a star, but on certain boards, the star may cost as little as five coins or as much as 40.

Star Exchange
Star from Mario Party 10
Purpose The Star (or its bearer) rests here. Whoever passes it has the opportunity to trade a number of coins for a Star. It usually moves around the board after someone purchases a Star.
First appearance Mario Party (1998)
Latest appearance Super Mario Party Jamboree (2024)
“To get a Star, reach its Star Space with 20 coins. The next Star will then pop up somewhere else!”
MC Ballyhoo, Mario Party 8

A Star Exchange,[1] originally known as a Star Space (or star space), a Star Spot (or Star Splurge Space at DK's Stone Statue) in Mario Party DS, and generically a Star in Mario Party 10, is a space in the Mario Party series. When a player character passes one, a character, usually the guide, offers them to trade a number of coins, usually 20, for a Star. However, depending on the board, the cost can range from as low as 5 coins to as high as 40. On several boards, the Star Exchange moves elsewhere once the Star has been received, but there are exceptions, the earliest being Mario's Rainbow Castle from Mario Party, but also Faire Square from Mario Party 6 or DK's Stone Statue in Mario Party DS. Prior to Mario Party 6, the Star Space may sometimes appear directly where a character is standing, although that character cannot begin their turn with the option to buy the Star.

On Party Rules in Super Mario Party Jamboree, every board except Mario's Rainbow Castle has a Homestretch event titled "Add one Star Exchange" that adds a second Star Exchange.
