In the solo mode of ''Mario Party 9'', it is revealed that [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] have used a vacuum-like machine to suck all the Mini Stars from outer space, to 'put them into good use'. Therefore, [[Mario]] and the gang go to rescue the Mini Stars.

When a [[minigame]] ends, certain amounts of Mini Stars are awarded to players in different places. After boss battles, 'Captain Bonuses' are also given to the captain of the current turn. Mini Stars can also be obtained by landing on [[Mini Star Space]]s, commonly found whenever the player lands on a [[Lucky Space]]. Captain Events also revolve around the players gaining Mini Stars in the form of special, board-specific events. The most common way to obtain Mini Stars, however, is to simply run into them on the board. On the board, they can be collected in groups of either three, five, or ten.

At the end of each board, Bonus Mini Stars are given to each player. Each of the Bonus Mini Stars give the players 5 Mini Stars.

The entire category of Bonus Mini Stars can be found [[Bonus Star#Introduced in Mario Party 9|here]].


All Mini Stars that the player collects are converted into party points when Party Mode is finished. However, if any Mini Stars are used as a handicap, the handicap amount is deducted from the party point total. Likewise, Mini Stars that are collected in Solo Mode are converted into party points too, but only after the player completes [[Bowser Station]]. Also, if a player finishes a board with less than 10 Mini Stars, then 10 Party Points are awarded regardless and is independent for each player, but only in the Party Mode.

Mini Stars reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', but only in the Mario Party mode. The Mini Stars serve the same purpose as they did in ''Mario Party 9''. Like ''Mario Party 9'', if an assistance is used (5, 10 or 20 Mini Stars), these don't count towards the Party Point total, although the starting value counts towards the total. Unlike ''Mario Party 9'' though, the Party Point system is dependent and there is no compensation bonus in multiplayer if only one player ends with less than 10 Mini Stars, though 10 Party Points is the minimum amount for a board playthrough. Also, everyone stars with 5 Mini Stars
