Red Space

"This is a Red Space. Try not to land on one. You'll lose 3 coins!"

- MC Ballyhoo

Red Spaces, also known as Minus Spaces in Mario Party 5, are spaces in the Mario Party series. When a player lands on a Red Space, they will lose three coins. After the last five turns, they may cause the player to lose six to nine coins. In Mario Party 7 and Mario Party 8, a Bonus Star may be awarded to the player who lands on the most red spaces. Also, like all the other spaces in Mario Party 8, the shape is different on each board, including the tutorial.

Also, in Super Mario World, Red Spaces indicate a level which has multiple exits. In New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Red Spaces stand for a level that is open but hasn't been completed, including types of Toad Houses. If the player has beaten the level, a Blue Space appears. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, if a Red Space is flashing red, it means it hasn't been completed. If it's solid red, it means the level has been completed using Super Guide.
