Item Space

The Item Space is a rare space that appears on boards in Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3 and Mario Party: Island Tour.

Mario Party 2
If a player lands on this space in Mario Party 2, the player will play an Item minigame for a chance to get an item. The minigame varies on the board being played.
 * Give Me a Brake - Western Land
 * Roll Out the Barrels - Pirate Land
 * Hammer Slammer - Space Land
 * Mallet-Go-Round - Mystery Land
 * Coffin Congestion - Horror Land
 * Bowser Slots - Bowser Land

Note that no item minigame will be played if it is either the last turn or the player already has an item. In both of these cases, the space will have no effect.

Mario Party 3
In Mario Party 3, the player either plays an Item minigame or be visited by either Toad or Baby Bowser, who will ask the player a question. The Item minigame that is played whenever a player lands on this space is chosen by a roulette from a list of them, rather than having a single game for each board like in Mario Party 2.

Baby Bowser's questions are "yes-or-no" questions, such as "Do you like to study?" Answers suggesting less maturity generally earn the player more/better items. Answers suggesting more maturity may cause him to say "Don't go around saying stuff just so people will like you!" and give the player nothing.

Toad's questions are choice-oriented, such as "What kind of item would you most like to have?", and offer three possible choices. Answers suggesting greed (depending on the player's ranking) are more likely to cause Toad to leave and give the player nothing. Answers suggesting less greed generally net the player more/better items, or possibly a rare item.

If the player already has three items in his or her possession and/or it is the last turn of the game, the space has no effect.

Mario Party: Island Tour
After a 13 year-absence, the item space reappears in Mario Party: Island Tour and only appears in the Perilous Palace Path board. In this game, the Item Space are blue with a ? Block on it. The player who lands on the space gets one of the following items:
 * Setback Shell

 * Lightning Score Striker

 * Super Star
 * Crazy Kamek
