Hex

A Hex before being picked up at a Hex Area.

Hexes are new items that are introduced in the game Mario Party DS. It works like traps.

These types of items are similar to most of the Capsules that came from Mario Party 5 through Mario Party 7. Hexes can be obtained by simply passing through a Hex Area; different types of Hexes may vary during gameplay. Players can carry three Hexes and normal items at that time. The players can use it to place them on spaces and set up as traps before the player proceeds to hit the Dice Block. Hexes can be only placed on Blue and Red Spaces during in the gameboard within five spaces from the player's current position.

When a player lands on their own Hex the player placed earlier, the player gains five Coins instead of executing the trap itself; and then it disappears. In addition, when the player places a Hex on a previous player's Hex in the gameboard, the previous player's Hex is removed from the board as the player's new Hex takes place.
