Appearances

Mario Party 6

4-Player Spaces debut in Mario Party 6's Solo Mode. Landing on these make the player play a 4-Player minigame with the Koopa Kids.

Here are the minigames for 4 players in order in the instruction booklet:

Mario Party 9

4-Player Spaces return in Mario Party 9, now known as Free-for-All spaces, due to the game changing the name of the minigame type. When landed upon, a Free-for-All minigame will be initiated. Normally, the Captain who lands on the space is the one who will get to choose what minigame is to be played.

While the Almost There! event is active, the player in last place is the one to pick what minigame is to be played (two players tied for last place would cause a player to be picked at random, and the Captain still chooses the minigame if they are in last place). In a rare case, if all players are tied or if three players tie for last place, the decision goes back to the Captain.

The first place player will win five Mini Stars (Bananas in DK's Jungle Ruins), and the other places vary with the number of players. However, if a draw occurs (because everyone got last place), no one will gain any Mini Stars/Bananas.
