Challenge Space

"You'll also see Challenge Spaces only in Duel Battles. Land on one and you'll go into a solo minigame!"

- MC Ballyhoo

The Challenge Space (or an Exclamation Mark Space) is a type of space that is found at least once or twice on every game board in Mario Party 8. It is only seen in Star Battle Arena on every board.

Landing on this space will challenge the player to one of three minigames: Stampede, Fruit Picker, or Pour to Score. If the player loses the minigame, they lose the entire coins bet and are not able to throw a dart. If the player wins the minigame, they get to throw a dart at the dart wheel to earn five, ten, or twenty Coins, depending on where the dart lands.
