In ''Mario Party 8'', every board except for [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]] has only one Lucky Space, the shape of which differs between boards. Each Lucky Space does something different depending on the board. The coins on each Lucky Space path only respawn when all players on the path have exited the area. However, the free star given at the end of such paths respawns each time a player earns one. Due to the Duel Battle and Star Battle Arena modes having different win requirements from Battle Royale and Tag Battle, Lucky Spaces are the only Spaces that do not appear in those modes. | |||
In [[DK's Treetop Temple]], if players land on the Lucky Space, they will ride a floating platform to a large coin area platform behind the main board. On the large platform is an area of Blue Spaces, each with three [[coin]]s on them. At the end of the platform is a free Star and a [[Warp Pipe]] that will send players back to the start of the board. | |||
In [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]], if players land on this board's Lucky Space, they will ride on a [[Dolphin]] and be transported to a small island west of the main path for free. On the island is a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the path is a huge [[Treasure Chest]]. Upon reaching him, players will meet the [[Goomba idols]]. They unwillingly give the character a star and then order some gulls to return the player to the main board, on top of the Lucky Space. | |||
In [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]], if players land on this board's Lucky Space, they will go upstairs to the second floor in the mansion. This Lucky Space area contains a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the area is a Warp Pipe, which leads directly to [[King Boo]]. They still have to trade 10 coins for the star from King Boo, and King Boo will still shuffle the board if the Star is earned this way. If someone happens to be on the second floor when King Boo shuffles the board, they will be sent back to the start, making their progress a complete loss. Due to the randomized layout of the board, the Lucky Space can be located in any one of the main rooms (even though this board only has one Lucky Space at a time like every other board except for [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]]). | |||
In [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]], landing on the Lucky Space will drop the player off at [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express#Payday Waystation|Payday Waystation]], which is a one-way path consisting of five Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the path is a [[Shy Guy]], who will give the player a free star. Two other Shy Guys will then return the player to the back of the train via a handcar. | |||
[[File:MP8 Koopa in Car.png|thumb|200px|A Koopa offering Luigi a ride to one of the Lucky Space paths.]] | |||
[[File:Koopa in Car. | [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]] has two Lucky Spaces, and each result in a [[Koopa Troopa]] pulling up in a car to take the player to a place in town where the road is "paved with gold". If the player lands on the Lucky Space on the west side of the board, the Koopa Troopa will take them to an area to the west of the board, while landing on the Lucky Space on the north side of the board will have them taken to an area east of the board. Both coin paths consist of an area of either four of five Blue Spaces, each with three coins. In the middle of each Lucky Space area is a three-star hotel that can be owned for a starting investment of only one coin. When the end of one of these areas is reached, the player will cross the road back to the main board. Neither [[Bowser]] nor [[Bandit]] can steal coins from either of these two hotels, which guarantees full ownership if 100 coins are invested, and [[Donkey Kong]] is only able to deposit into these hotels if all the main hotels already have 100 coins deposited into them by the player who landed on his space. However, if another player lands on the same Lucky Space, they can invest and possibly steal the hotel. | ||
In [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]], landing on the Lucky Space will cause a spaceship to land next to the player. It will open up revealing [[Captain Shy Guy (Mario Party 8)|Captain Shy Guy]], who takes the player to [[Shy Guy's Orbital Buffet]]. The buffet restaurant has a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. The path does not lead to any Stars, unlike the Lucky Space on the other five boards. Instead, the player gets to collect three free pieces of either [[Bullet Candy]] or [[Bowser Candy]] by passing [[Candy Space]]s before coming back to the Lucky Space. | |||

Lucky Spaces also appear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. In this game, they trigger different events based on where they are placed. If the Lucky Space is near a Blue Warp Pipe, then the player jumps into an area with Mini Star Spaces. The player then rolls a [[Dice Block]], with a higher number leading to a [[Mini Star Space]] which gives out more [[Mini Star]]s. If the Lucky Space is in front of a [[Toad House]], the player enters the Toad House and has a chance to get items by picking shuffling cards. [[Unlucky Space]]s also appear and serve as a negative counterpart to Lucky Spaces.

On [[Blooper Beach]], three of the Lucky Spaces towards the end of the board will trigger another event that causes Dolphins to appear taking the vehicle to Star Island (and the captain gets three Mini Stars on the way). The island, shaped as a star as its name implies, consists of a circular path made up of a [[Dash Space]], three [[Special Dice Block Space|Dice Block Space]]s and another Lucky Space.

Players take turns attempting to land on the Lucky Space which allows the captain to obtain the ten Mini Stars in the center and return to the main path.

Lucky Spaces (called '''Event Space (blue)''' in the British English version) return in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. On [[Perilous Palace Path]], two Lucky Spaces appear, four and five spaces ahead of the [[Thwomp]] challenge. If the player lands on one of the two spaces, they will take the cannon and skip nine to ten spaces ahead. There are also two Lucky Spaces on [[Bowser's Peculiar Peak]]. Upon landing on one, the player can take the [[Warp Pipe]] and move a random number of spaces further away from [[Bowser]], with numbers ranging from 1 to 6. When a player is 16 spaces or less from Bowser, the first one is changed to a [[Bowser Space]]. | |||

Lucky Spaces appear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', retaining the image of the four-leafed clover from ''Super Mario Party'' but being blue instead of green.

- —MC Ballyhoo, Mario Party 8
The Lucky Space is a space appearing in the Mario Party series, first appearing in Mario Party 8. Each Lucky Space will transport the player to an otherwise inaccessible area (being a coin filled path) of the board, where they can usually expect to find a small area of Blue Spaces (with three coins) leading to a free Star (an exception made for Bowser's Warped Orbit, which instead leads the player to collect Bullet Candy or Bowser Candy from Candy Areas). At the end of the path, the player will return to the main board. In most cases, there is an unlimited number of Stars that players can receive from revisiting these paths (except Koopa's Tycoon Town, as that board has a fixed and limited number of attainable stars), or an unlimited number of Bullet Candy and Bowser Candy for the lucky area at Bowser's Warped Orbit.
In Mario Party 9 and Mario Party 10, each board has several Lucky Spaces. They reward players who land on them with either Mini Stars or Special Dice Blocks.
History[edit]
Mario Party 8[edit]
In Mario Party 8, every board except for Koopa's Tycoon Town has only one Lucky Space, the shape of which differs between boards. Each Lucky Space does something different depending on the board. The coins on each Lucky Space path only respawn when all players on the path have exited the area. However, the free star given at the end of such paths respawns each time a player earns one. Due to the Duel Battle and Star Battle Arena modes having different win requirements from Battle Royale and Tag Battle, Lucky Spaces are the only Spaces that do not appear in those modes.
In DK's Treetop Temple, if players land on the Lucky Space, they will ride a floating platform to a large coin area platform behind the main board. On the large platform is an area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins on them. At the end of the platform is a free Star and a Warp Pipe that will send players back to the start of the board.
In Goomba's Booty Boardwalk, if players land on this board's Lucky Space, they will ride on a Dolphin and be transported to a small island west of the main path for free. On the island is a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the path is a huge Treasure Chest. Upon reaching him, players will meet the Goomba idols. They unwillingly give the character a star and then order some gulls to return the player to the main board, on top of the Lucky Space.
In King Boo's Haunted Hideaway, if players land on this board's Lucky Space, they will go upstairs to the second floor in the mansion. This Lucky Space area contains a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the area is a Warp Pipe, which leads directly to King Boo. They still have to trade 10 coins for the star from King Boo, and King Boo will still shuffle the board if the Star is earned this way. If someone happens to be on the second floor when King Boo shuffles the board, they will be sent back to the start, making their progress a complete loss. Due to the randomized layout of the board, the Lucky Space can be located in any one of the main rooms (even though this board only has one Lucky Space at a time like every other board except for Koopa's Tycoon Town).
In Shy Guy's Perplex Express, landing on the Lucky Space will drop the player off at Payday Waystation, which is a one-way path consisting of five Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the path is a Shy Guy, who will give the player a free star. Two other Shy Guys will then return the player to the back of the train via a handcar.
Koopa's Tycoon Town has two Lucky Spaces, and each result in a Koopa Troopa pulling up in a car to take the player to a place in town where the road is "paved with gold". If the player lands on the Lucky Space on the west side of the board, the Koopa Troopa will take them to an area to the west of the board, while landing on the Lucky Space on the north side of the board will have them taken to an area east of the board. Both coin paths consist of an area of either four of five Blue Spaces, each with three coins. In the middle of each Lucky Space area is a three-star hotel that can be owned for a starting investment of only one coin. When the end of one of these areas is reached, the player will cross the road back to the main board. Neither Bowser nor Bandit can steal coins from either of these two hotels, which guarantees full ownership if 100 coins are invested, and Donkey Kong is only able to deposit into these hotels if all the main hotels already have 100 coins deposited into them by the player who landed on his space. However, if another player lands on the same Lucky Space, they can invest and possibly steal the hotel.
In Bowser's Warped Orbit, landing on the Lucky Space will cause a spaceship to land next to the player. It will open up revealing Captain Shy Guy, who takes the player to Shy Guy's Orbital Buffet. The buffet restaurant has a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. The path does not lead to any Stars, unlike the Lucky Space on the other five boards. Instead, the player gets to collect three free pieces of either Bullet Candy or Bowser Candy by passing Candy Spaces before coming back to the Lucky Space.
Mario Party 9[edit]
Lucky Spaces also appear in Mario Party 9. In this game, they trigger different events based on where they are placed. If the Lucky Space is near a Blue Warp Pipe, then the player jumps into an area with Mini Star Spaces. The player then rolls a Dice Block, with a higher number leading to a Mini Star Space which gives out more Mini Stars. If the Lucky Space is in front of a Toad House, the player enters the Toad House and has a chance to get items by picking shuffling cards. Unlucky Spaces also appear and serve as a negative counterpart to Lucky Spaces. When the Captain lands on an Unlucky Space near a Red Warp Pipe, they are warped to an area with Mini Ztar Spaces.
On Blooper Beach, three of the Lucky Spaces towards the end of the board will trigger another event that causes Dolphins to appear taking the vehicle to Star Island (and the captain gets three Mini Stars on the way). The island, shaped as a star as its name implies, consists of a circular path made up of a Dash Space, three Dice Block Spaces and another Lucky Space. There are also two sets of three Mini Stars in between some of the spaces. The center of the island consists of ten Mini Stars. Players take turns attempting to land on the Lucky Space which allows the captain to obtain the ten Mini Stars in the center and return to the main path. The Dice Spaces here will never trigger an event (such as free Mini Stars) or a minigame. The island can be revisited as many times as the captain lands on the Lucky Spaces on the main path, which is infinite due to the placement of the Back Space just before the Bowser Gate.
Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]
Lucky Spaces (called Event Space (blue) in the British English version) return in Mario Party: Island Tour. On Perilous Palace Path, two Lucky Spaces appear, four and five spaces ahead of the Thwomp challenge. If the player lands on one of the two spaces, they will take the cannon and skip nine to ten spaces ahead. There are also two Lucky Spaces on Bowser's Peculiar Peak. Upon landing on one, the player can take the Warp Pipe and move a random number of spaces further away from Bowser, with numbers ranging from 1 to 6. When a player is 16 spaces or less from Bowser, the first one is changed to a Bowser Space.
Mario Party 10[edit]
Lucky Spaces return in Mario Party 10. In Mario Party mode, they usually allow the player to hit one of three Brick Blocks containing two, four, or six Mini Stars, but the events can vary depending on the board, though they will always allow the player to obtain Mini Stars. In Bowser Party mode, they allow the player to hit one of three Brick Blocks containing zero, one, or two Hearts for each player.
Super Mario Party[edit]
Lucky Spaces return in Super Mario Party, and appear as green spaces with an image of a four-leafed clover. In this game, when a player lands on a Lucky Space, a list of five possible events appears that are spun through and the player stops the spinning to choose an event. If the player is in 3rd or 4th place (or on the losing team in the case of Partner Party), then the player is more likely to have the more beneficial events, such as receiving 5 coins instead of 3. The following is a list of possible options a player can get upon spinning the wheel:
- Receive (3 or 5) coins.
- Receive (7 or 10) coins. This event is exclusive to Kamek's Tantalizing Tower.
- Make a rival lose (5 or 10) coins.
- Make the rival team lose (5 or 10) coins.: This event is exclusive to Partner Party.
- Receive a Dash Mushroom
- Receive several Dash Mushrooms: This fills the player's inventory with up to 3 Dash Mushrooms.
- Receive a Golden Dash Mushroom
- Receive several Golden Dash Mushrooms: This fills the player's inventory with up to 3 Golden Dash Mushrooms.

Mario Party Superstars[edit]
Lucky Spaces appear in Mario Party Superstars, retaining the image of the four-leafed clover from Super Mario Party but being blue instead of green. They are much more common in this game, replacing approximately a quarter of Blue Spaces from the original versions of the boards. The following is a list of possible options a player can get upon spinning the wheel:[1]
- Receive (5/7/10/12/15/17/20) coins.
- Receive a Mushroom.
- Receive Double Dice.
- Receive Triple Dice.
- Receive a Dueling Glove.
- Receive a Custom Dice Block.
- Receive a Cursed Dice Block.
- Receive a Skeleton Key. (does not appear in Yoshi's Tropical Island or Peach's Birthday Cake)
- Receive a Chomp Call.
- Receive an Item Bag.
- Receive a Warp Block.
- The cost of your next Star is cut in half! (does not appear in Yoshi's Tropical Island)
- The Thwomp's toll is halved. (only in Yoshi's Tropical Island)
Lucky Spaces will not give items in the final turn.
Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]
This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
Lucky Spaces return in Super Mario Party Jamboree with identical functionality to Mario Party Superstars. A minor visual change was made to the clover, changing the color from white to green. They are less common on the returning board Mario's Rainbow Castle, making up closer to one seventh of the total number of spaces than to one fifth like other boards. Lucky Spaces will only give coins in the final turn. One of the following events will occur when landing on a Lucky Space during Party Rules:[2][3]
- Receive (7/10/12/15/20) coins.
- Receive a Custom Dice Block.
- Receive a Creepy Dice Block.
- Receive Double Dice.
- Receive a Item Bag.
- Receive a Pipe.
If the game is set to Pro Rules, the player will instead receive either a Double Dice or 10 coins according to the player's choice.[4] If it is the final turn, the player automatically receives 10 coins.
