The '''Lucky Space''' is a [[Space (Mario Party series)|space]] appearing in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], first appearing in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. Each Lucky Space will transport the player to an otherwise inaccessible area (being a coin filled path) of the board, where they can usually expect to find a small area of [[Blue Space]]s (with three coins) leading to a free [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] (an exception made for [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]], which instead leads the player to collect [[Bullet Candy]] or [[Bowser Candy]] from [[Candy Area]]s). At the end of the path, the player will return to the main board. In most cases, there is an unlimited number of Stars that players can receive from revisiting these paths (except [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]], as that board has a fixed and limited number of attainable stars), or an unlimited number of Bullet Candy and Bowser Candy for the lucky area at Bowser's Warped Orbit.

In ''Mario Party 8'', most boards have only one Lucky Space, the shape of which differs between boards. Each Lucky Space does something different depending on the board. The coins on each Lucky Space path only respawn when all players on the path have exited the area. However, the free star given at the end of such paths respawns each time a player earns one.

In [[DK's Treetop Temple]], if players land on the Lucky Space, they will ride a floating platform to a large coin area platform behind the main board. On the large platform is an area of Blue Spaces, each with three [[coin]]s on them. At the end of the platform is a free Star and a [[Warp Pipe]] that will send players back to the start of the board.

In [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]], if players land on this board's Lucky Space, they will ride on a [[Dolphin]] and be transported to a small island west of the main path for free. On the island is a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the path is a huge [[Treasure Chest]]. Upon reaching him, players will meet the [[Goomba idols]]. They unwillingly give the character a star and then order some gulls to return the player to the main board, on top of the Lucky Space.

In [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]], if players land on this board's Lucky Space, they will go upstairs to the second floor in the mansion. This Lucky Space area contains a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the area is a Warp Pipe, which leads directly to [[King Boo]]. They still have to trade 10 coins for the star from King Boo, and King Boo will still shuffle the board if the Star is earned this way. If someone happens to be on the second floor when King Boo shuffles the board, they will be sent back to the start, making their progress a complete loss. Due to the randomized layout of the board, the Lucky Space can be located in any one of the main rooms (even though this board has one Lucky Space like all the other boards except [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]] which is the only board that has more than one Lucky Space).

In [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]], landing on the Lucky Space will drop the player off at [[Payday Waystation]]. It's a one-way area consisting of five Blue Spaces, each with three coins. At the end of the area is a [[Shy Guy]], who will give the player a free star. Two other [[Shy Guy]]s will then return the player to the back of the train via a handcar.

[[Koopa's Tycoon Town]] has two Lucky Spaces; and each result in a [[Koopa Troopa]] pulling up in a car to take the player to a place in town where the road is "paved with gold". If the player lands on the Lucky Space on the west side of the board, the Koopa Troopa will take him or her to an area to the west of the board, while landing on the Lucky Space on the north side of the board will have them taken to an area east of the board. Both coin paths consist of an area of either four of five Blue Spaces, each with three coins. In the middle of each Lucky Space area is a three-star hotel that can be owned for a starting investment of only one coin. When the end of one of these areas is reached, the player will cross the road back to the main board. Neither [[Bowser]] nor [[Bandit]] can steal coins from either of these two hotels, and [[Donkey Kong]] is only able to deposit into these hotels if all the main hotels already have 100 coins deposited into them by the player who landed on his space. However, if another player lands on the same Lucky Space, they can invest and possibly steal the hotel.

In [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]], landing on the Lucky Space will cause a spaceship to land next to the player. It will open up revealing [[Captain Shy Guy (Mario Party 8)|Captain Shy Guy]], who takes the player to [[Shy Guy's Orbital Buffet]]. The buffet restaurant has a small area of Blue Spaces, each with three coins. It does not lead to a free star, unlike the Lucky Space on the other five boards. Instead, the player gets to collect three free pieces of either [[Bullet Candy]] or [[Bowser Candy]] by passing [[Candy Space]]s before coming back to the Lucky Space.

Lucky Spaces return in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. In Mario Party mode, they usually allow the player to hit one of three [[Brick Block]]s containing two, four, or six Mini Stars, but the events can vary depending on the board, though they will always allow the player to obtain Mini Stars. In Bowser Party mode, they allow the player to hit one of three Brick Blocks containing zero, one, or two [[Heart (item)|Heart]]s for each player.

* '''Steal one ally from a rival''': This event is exclusive to Mario Party.

In the final turn, the item options are removed, giving only coin options.
