Koopa Bank

The Koopa Bank is a place found in the Mario Party series.

Whenever a player passed the Bank Space, he had to pay five coins to the Koopa Troopa, or all of his coins if he had less than five. When a player's turn ended directly on the Bank Space, the player was awarded all coins that had been previously paid on all Koopa Banks on the gameboard. These Koopa Banks only appeared in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 3.

Mario Party 2 ' s Bowser Land had special banks, known as Bowser Banks, with the opposite function of Koopa Banks. They would give five coins to every passing player, and demand the whole sum from a player that landed on the Bank Space.

Mario Party 3 featured a rare item, the Koopa Card, which allowed the player to claim the Koopa Bank's coins when only passing the Bank Space.

The pre-set Koopa Banks were replaced with the Koopa Bank Capsule in Mario Party 5. The player could throw the Capsule onto a space and would thus create a Koopa Bank with the same functions as in Mario Party 2 and 3.
