A Star Exchange,[1] originally known as a Star Space (or star space), a Star Spot in Mario Party DS, and generically a Star in Mario Party 10, is a special space that appears in the Mario Party series. If a character passes by one, the guide (or, in some cases, the Star's bearer) asks them if they will trade a certain number of coins for a certain number of Stars (typically one). How many coins they have to trade depends on the board. Traditionally, the character has to trade 20 coins for a Star, but on certain boards, the Star may cost as little as five coins or as much as 40. While in most games players only need to pass the Star Exchange to buy a Star, Partner Party mode in Super Mario Party requires a player to land on the exact space due to the mode's free movement.
After the character gets the Star, the Star Exchange moves to a different location on the map. On certain boards, such as Faire Square from Mario Party 6 and DK's Stone Statue from Mario Party DS, the Star Exchange's location remains stationary. Up until Mario Party 6, when the Star Space moves to a different location, there is a small chance that the new Star Space appears directly where a character is standing. However, this character is unable to buy the Star and must loop around the board in order to do so.
