History

Mario Party 9

In Mario Party 9, unlike Lucky Spaces which rewards the Captain for landing on it, Unlucky Spaces serve as their negative counterpart, penalizing any Captain unfortunate enough to land on one. Typically located next to a red Warp Pipe, an Unlucky Space will make a Piranha Plant appear and will force the Captain to travel down the Red Pipe into a cavern with six Mini Ztar Spaces. The Captain must then roll a standard Dice Block and move accordingly; higher numbers lead to spaces with a greater loss of Mini Stars. After that, the Captain will return to the main board (not by Piranha Plant again, exiting normally exactly like the Blue Warp Pipes), and end their turn. If the Captain has no Mini Stars upon landing in this space, the Piranha Plant will retreat into the pipe without taking the Captain away.

Unlucky Spaces are rarer than Lucky Spaces, and appear only in three boards; Toad Road, Bob-omb Factory and Blooper Beach. There is only one Unlucky Space in Toad Road, whereas Bob-omb Factory and Blooper Beach have their Unlucky Spaces on branching paths that Captains either can or cannot avoid.

On Blooper Beach, there are also two consecutive Unlucky Spaces just before the last fork of the board that causes a different event from the above to occur. Landing on any one of them will cause the nearby Blooper statue to activate and create a whirlpool, sucking the vehicle to a path around it comprising of Mini Ztar Spaces and Dash Spaces. The captain who lands on the Unlucky Spaces will also lose 3 Mini Stars. The players take turns getting out of the path to avoid losing excessive Mini Stars while the Blooper statue drags the vehicle two spaces back at the end of each player's turn.

Mario Party: Island Tour

Only one Unlucky Space appears in Mario Party: Island Tour, right in the path of a sleeping Chain Chomp in Perilous Palace Path. If a player lands on this space, the Chain Chomp will wake up and chase all of the players in its path at most six spaces backward.

Mario Party 10

Unlucky Spaces reappear in Mario Party 10. If the player lands on one, they will usually lose Mini Stars, though something else bad may happen, such as in Whimsical Waters where a Blooper may ink a player, preventing them from using Special Dice Blocks on the next turn.

Super Mario Party Jamboree

This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.

Unlucky Spaces return in Super Mario Party Jamboree, where they act as the negative counterpart to Lucky Spaces. A roulette starts and the player must stop it, similar to the Lucky Spaces. They appear as red spaces with an image of a purple four-leaf clover. The known events are as follows:[1]

  • Max out on Loadstones
  • Lose 3 coins
  • Lose 5 coins
  • Give 3 coins to the last place player: If the player is in last place, they will be forced to give their coins to 3rd place instead.
  • Give 5 coins to the last place player

Additionally, if the player lands on any Unlucky Space for the first time, they will receive the "Tomorrow Is Another Day" achievement.

If Pro Rules are on, players that land on this space must give 7 coins to the last place player.[2]
