Orb huts, sometimes referred to as Orb shops, are shops in Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7 in which players can buy Orbs to use against an opponent or on themselves or lay them down on a space to create a Character Space. Players must have at least five coins to be able to enter an Orb hut.

In Mario Party 6, Koopa Troopas or Shy Guys are the shopkeepers, depending on what time of day it is (Koopas during the day, Shy Guys at night). In Mario Party 7, one of three shopkeepers (Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Shy Guys) appears on two different boards, with special clothing depending on what board the party is being played at. For example, Koopas wear Dutch women's clothing in Windmillville, but they wear Chinese clothing instead on Pagoda Peak.

During Bowser Time in Mario Party 7, Bowser may destroy an Orb hut and replace it with a shop of his own. The first player to pass Bowser's shop will be forced to buy a Golden Bowser Statue or Koopa Kid Orb (which Koopa Kid will take from the player afterwards; if it was a Koopa Kid Orb, he will throw it onto the board). This can only happen in Grand Canal, Pagoda Peak and Pyramid Park. Also in Pyramid Park, Bowser may destroy the bridges with Orb huts on them for three turns.

Orb huts were replaced by Candy Shops in Mario Party 8. Before Orb huts were introduced into the series, players could get the Orbs (then called capsules) for free from capsule machines in Mario Party 5.
