'''Mini Ztars''' are small, dark purple miniature [[Ztar]]s that were introduced in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. Mini Ztars serve as the opposing counterpart to [[Mini Star|Mini Stars]], as they will cause the player to lose as many Mini Stars as the amount of Mini Ztars collected. 

==History==
===''Mario Party 9''===
As Mini Ztars are found in groups around the boards around certain spaces, they immediately display their effects if the player runs into them while assuming the role of the captain. Mini Ztars are rarely found alone, and are usually in groups of either three, five, or ten.

Mini Ztars can also be obtained in the "Unlucky" pipes in an amount depending on the player's dice roll. Unlucky routes may also lead to the player collecting Mini Ztars.

Mini Ztars are replaced by dark, purple bananas called [[Z-Banana]]s in [[DK's Jungle Ruins]], though they have the same effect: they cause the player to lose [[Banana]]s when collected. They can be found as singular bananas or in bunches.

===''Mario Party: Island Tour''===
Mini Ztars reappear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', along with [[Mini Star]]s, and only appear in [[Star-Crossed Skyway]]. Mini Ztars have the same role as in ''Mario Party 9'' and appear in Star Stages.

===''Mario Party 10''===
{{newsubject|section=yes}}
Mini Ztars appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', having the same role as in past Mario Party installments.
