Bonus Star
Types of Bonus Stars
- Minigame Star: The Minigame Star (originally spelled Mini-Game Star and Mini-game Star) has appeared in every Mario Party game to date. It is awarded to whoever collected the most coins in every minigame altogether. Coins won from Battle (pre-Mario Party 5), Duel, Game Guy, and Donkey Kong minigames are not accounted for. In Mario Party 9, Mario Party DS, and Mario Party Superstars, the number of minigame wins is counted instead.
- Coin Star: This Bonus Star first appeared in Mario Party and appeared in every subsequent game up to Mario Party 5, returning in Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars as the Rich Star. In the first five Mario Party games, it is awarded to whoever held the most coins at any time during gameplay. In Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars, it is instead awarded to the player who collected the most coins total throughout the game, including coins spent and stolen from them.
- Happening Star: Also known as the Event Star, Green Star, Action Star, or ? Star, the Happening Star has appeared in every Mario Party game until Mario Party 9, returning in Super Mario Party as the Eventful Star. It is awarded to whoever landed on the most ? Spaces during gameplay.
- Orb Star: Appearing in Mario Party 6, Mario Party 7, Mario Party 8 (as the Candy Star), Mario Party DS, Mario Party 9 (as the Dice Block Star), Mario Party: Star Rush, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Super Mario Party (as the Item Star), this Star is given to whoever used the most Orbs, items, Candies, or Special Dice Blocks during gameplay. It replaces the Coin Star in Mario Party 6.
- Red Star: This Bonus Star appears in Mario Party 7 and Mario Party 8, returning in Super Mario Party as the Unlucky Star. It is given to whoever landed on the most Red Spaces during gameplay. In Super Mario Party, it also counts the number of Bad Luck Spaces and Extra Bad Luck Spaces landed on.
- Running Star: This Bonus Star appears in Mario Party 7, Mario Party 8, Mario Party DS, and Mario Party 9 (as the Far Star to fit the vehicular movement mechanic), returning in Mario Party: Star Rush and Super Mario Party as the Sightseer Star. It is given to whoever moved the most spaces altogether by rolling the Dice Block.
- Shopping Star: This Bonus Star appears in Mario Party 7 and Mario Party 8. It is given to whoever spent the most coins at Orb huts and Candy Shops, respectively. Shops that Bowser runs (through Bowser Time) count towards this total.
- Friendship Star: Appearing only in Mario Party DS, this Bonus Star is given to whoever landed on the most Friend Spaces during gameplay.
- Hex Star: Appearing only in Mario Party DS, this Bonus Star is given to whoever threw the most Hexes.
- Minus Star: Appearing in Mario Party 9, this Bonus Star is given to whoever collected the most Mini Ztars (or Z-Bananas on DK's Jungle Ruins) throughout the course of the game.
- Slow Star: Appearing in Mario Party 9, this Bonus Star is given to whoever rolled the lowest Dice Block total throughout the course of the game. It reappears in Mario Party: Star Rush, Super Mario Party, and Mario Party Superstars as the Slowpoke Star.
- Spin Star: Appearing only in Mario Party 9, this Bonus Star is given to whoever landed on the most Spin Spaces throughout the course of the game.
- Balloon Star: Appearing in Mario Party: Star Rush, this Bonus Star is given to whoever popped the most balloons.
- Champion Star: Appearing in Mario Party: Star Rush, this Bonus Star is given to whoever is the "undeniable minigame champion." This likely refers to the player who won every single minigame in a round or won the most out of everyone.
- Almost Star: Appearing in Mario Party: Star Rush, this Bonus Star is given to the player who collected the fewest Star Balloons. This Bonus Star returns in Mario Party: The Top 100 as the So-Close Star.
- Anti-Items Star: Appearing in Mario Party: Star Rush, this Bonus Star is given to the player who collected the fewest items. This Bonus Star returns in Mario Party: The Top 100 as the Unused Star.
- Ally Star: Introduced in Super Mario Party, this Bonus Star is given to the player who has collected the most allies in a game.
- Buddy Star: Introduced in Super Mario Party, this Bonus Star is given to the player who has collected a randomly selected buddy. The game determines the "lucky" buddy when determining which Bonus Stars will appear for the game. This Star is similar to the "Lucky Ally Bonus" seen in Mario Party: Star Rush.
- Doormat Star: Introduced in Super Mario Party, this Bonus Star appears only in the Partner Party mode. It is given to the player who is stomped on the most times by other players. This happens when another player moves through their space.
- Stompy Star: Introduced in Super Mario Party, this Bonus Star appears only in the Partner Party mode. It is given to the player who stomps on other players the most times. This happens when the player moves through another player's space.
- Bowser Space Star: Introduced in Mario Party Superstars, this Bonus Star is given to the player who landed on the most Bowser Spaces.
List of rumors and urban legends
Gameplay
Durmite damaging Bowser from the inside
In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its Nintendo 3DS remake, the Stone Blooper is the only enemy that can damage Bowser from the inside while fighting Mario and Luigi. There have been claims that Durmite can also damage Bowser in this way when she uses her straw to siphon his nutrients and restore her HP, this is untrue. While Bowser is seen wincing in pain on the top screen when Durmite performs the aforementioned move in the original DS version, his HP does not lower during or after Mario and Luigi's battle with Durmite in either version of the game.
