Purpose The Star (or its bearer) rests here. Whoever passes it has the opportunity to trade 20 coins for a Star. It usually moves around the board after someone purchases a Star.

“To get stars, you gotta reach 'em. That means reaching a Star Area. Once there, you can get its Star.”
MC Ballyhoo, Mario Party 8

Star Spaces (known as Star Spots in Mario Party DS and referred to generically as Stars in Mario Party 10) are special spaces that appear in the Mario Party series. If a character passes by one, the Party Host (or in some cases, the Star's bearer) asks them if they will trade a certain amount of coins for an amount of Stars (typically one). How many coins they have to trade depends on the board. Traditionally, they have to trade 20 coins for a Star, but on certain boards, the Star may cost as little as five coins or as much as forty.

After the character gets the Star, the Star Space moves to a different location in the map. On certain boards, such as Faire Square from Mario Party 6 and DK's Stone Statue from Mario Party DS, the Star Space's location remains stationary. When the Star Space moves to a different location, there is a small chance that the new Star Space appears directly where a character is standing. However, this character will be unable to buy the Star.
