'''Hexes''' are items introduced in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. Hexes can be used to place traps on spaces before rolling the [[Dice Block]], in a similar vein to [[Character Space]]s from previous ''Mario Party'' titles. Hexes can be placed on any [[Blue Space]] or [[Red Space]] within five spaces ahead or behind the player. Only the Hex placer can see what type of hex is set; other players see a character emblem laid over the space. These items cannot be bought and must be obtained by passing through a [[Hex Area]], or stolen from opponents using a [[Snag Bag]]. Hexes are stored in the same inventory as normal items, so a maximum of three Hexes can be carried at a time. After a player lands on a Hex and undergoes its effect, it is erased.  

When a player lands on their own Hex, most will grant the player five [[coin]]s and erase themselves. Alternatively, when a player lands on their own Star Block Hex or Coin Block Hex, they will still be able to collect stars and coins respectively.

*The name "Hex" refers to both its hexagonal design and its ability to "curse" spaces.

*Setting off a purple Hex will cause it to grow large and flatten the victim, with exceptions to the 1-Star Hex and 2-Star Hex, which will fold vertically inward to squish them.
