====''Mario Party 5''====
In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', they only appear in Story Mode and are known as '''VS Spaces'''. When landed on, a VS Minigame hosted by [[Misstar]] begins, in which the winners take Coins from the losing players. The type of minigame played and the number of Coins at stake depends on the number of [[Koopa Kid]]s remaining: when all three remain, 15 Coins are at stake and a 1-vs.-3 minigame is played; when two remain, 20 Coins are at stake and a 2-vs.-2 minigame is played (with [[Toad]] as the player's ally); when only one remains, 20 Coins are at stake and a Duel minigame is played. If the player wins, the Coins taken are split up among the Koopa Kids (5 Coins each when all three remain, for example), and Misstar awards the player their Coins. If the Koopa Kids win, the player must give up the full number of Coins themselves and the winnings are split up among the Koopa Kids by [[Bowser]], who flattens the player similar to his appearance on a [[Bowser Space]].

There are also spaces called Battle Minigame Spaces and Duel Minigame Spaces. The Duel Minigame Space makes the player challenge a Koopa Kid in a one-on-one battle.
====''Mario Party Advance''====

Appearances[edit]

Mario Party[edit]

The Minigame Space makes its debut in Mario Party. If a player lands on this space, they play a single-player minigame to earn coins only for them. If the player loses, they lose 5 Coins, with the exception of some minigames.

Mario Party 3[edit]

Minigame Spaces reappear in Mario Party 3's Duel Mode boards, this time with Tumble's face depicted on them. In this game, landing on one begins a Duel minigame hosted by Tumble. The winner of the minigame receives 10 Coins from Belltop.

Mario Party 5[edit]

In Mario Party 5, they only appear in Story Mode and are known as VS Spaces. When landed on, a VS Minigame hosted by Misstar begins, in which the winners take Coins from the losing players. The type of minigame played and the number of Coins at stake depends on the number of Koopa Kids remaining: when all three remain, 15 Coins are at stake and a 1-vs.-3 minigame is played; when two remain, 20 Coins are at stake and a 2-vs.-2 minigame is played (with Toad as the player's ally); when only one remains, 20 Coins are at stake and a Duel minigame is played. If the player wins, the Coins taken are split up among the Koopa Kids (5 Coins each when all three remain, for example), and Misstar awards the player their Coins. If the Koopa Kids win, the player must give up the full number of Coins themselves and the winnings are split up among the Koopa Kids by Bowser, who flattens the player similar to his appearance on a Bowser Space.

Mario Party 6[edit]

Later, it makes an appearance in the Mario Party 6 Solo Mode. When a player lands on this space, they play either a 4-Player minigame, a 1-vs.-3 minigame, or a 2-vs.-2 minigame against the three different colored Koopa Kids. There are also spaces called Battle Minigame Spaces and Duel Minigame Spaces. The Duel Minigame Space makes the player challenge a Koopa Kid in a one-on-one battle.

Mario Party Advance[edit]

In Mario Party Advance, Minigame Spaces function as they did previously, except for the fact that they reward Mushrooms, which constitute the player's turns. Two characters can appear to challenge the player: Tumble, who gives the player two Mushrooms for completing a minigame, or Koopa Kid, who gives the player one Mushroom for succeeding and steals a Mushroom if the minigame is failed.

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

The space returns in Mario Party: Island Tour. Landing on the space will start an additional minigame, with the rewards being dependent on the board that is being played. In the board Perilous Palace Path, the rewards are a pool of three random items. The player who gets first place picks an item first, then the player who got second gets to pick, then the player who got third receives the remaining item. In Rocket Road, the initial winner gets the boosters of the player who landed on the space. In Star-Crossed Skyway, the player who gets first place gets three Mini Stars, second place gets two, third place gets one, and fourth place gets zero. The number of Mini Stars collected from the minigame doubles after everyone passes the third Star Stage. If a tie occurs in a minigame for any position, a Dice Block decides.
