Last Five Turns Event: Difference between revisions

The '''Last Five Turns Event''' is an event from the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] that takes place when there are only five turns left in the board game (four in ''Mario Party 7'' due to Bowser Time). Every ''Mario Party'' game has had some form of this event, except for ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', although the latter has a similar unnamed event that occurs on the boards.

The event made its debut in the original ''[[Mario Party]]'', which [[Koopa Troopa]] talks to the players playing the game to announce the current standings, then predicts who he thinks the Superstar will be at the end of the game. The prediction is chosen randomly; it is not influenced by the players' current stats and has no effect on the outcome of the game. Then, for the rest of the game, both [[Blue Space]]s and [[Red Space]]s are worth twice the normal number of coins when landed on (players will gain or lose 6 coins), and Koopa gives twenty coins to players who pass him with the exception of [[Eternal Star]], where Koopa Troopa isn't present.

In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', the event is hosted by [[Toad]] (and [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] in [[Bowser Land]]), who first gives the current standings then introduce a character to predict the Superstar. Usually, a green or red-shelled Koopa Troopa predicts it, but if Mario is a participant, [[Whomp]] (who will always choose him) may sometimes appear to make the prediction. However, it is always [[Bowser]] who makes the prediction (who will always choose the player who is currently in last place) in Bowser Land. The predicted player is given ten coins from the predictor. From that point onward, Blue and Red Spaces' value are doubled again, and players that land on the same space as another player play a Duel [[Minigame]] with that player before activating the space, unless one of the players has no coins.

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', the event is the same as the last game, but it is usually the [[Millennium Star]] who predicts who the Superstar is, giving them ten coins. Sometimes, Baby Bowser hosts the event and lets Bowser predict who the loser is. The predicted player ends up losing ten coins to Bowser. If Mario is one of the playable characters on the board, there is a chance Whomp will appear and award him 10 coins. Afterwards, Blue and Red Spaces' value are doubled once more, and players that land on the same space as another player play a Duel Minigame with that player before activating the space, as in the last installment.

In Story Mode, Bowser doubles the coins earned in duel battles (from [[Duel Space]]s). If the player passes Koopa Kid, they will lose 10 coins if they lose the minigame; however, if Koopa Kid loses, he will lose 30 coins. If Koopa Kid passes the player, they will lose 20 coins if they lose the minigame, but if Koopa Kid loses, he will lose 10 coins.

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', the event is hosted by [[Brighton]] during the day and by [[Twila]] at night. Whoever is hosting it gives the current standings, then lets the player in last place spin a bonus wheel, giving them one of the following:

Like ''Mario Party 4'', a Duel Minigame will no longer occur if a player lands on the same space as another player.

*[[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]] - Thrice Candy, Springo Candy, or nothing

*{{color|'''Get 100 Stars'''|#FFBB00}}

*{{color|'''Get 300 Stars'''|#FFBB00}}

If multiple players are tied for last place, or if everybody is tied for first place, Bowser will randomly choose one of them to spin the roulette.

* [[Space Land]]: [[Snifit]] or [[Whomp]]

* [[Horror Land]]: [[Kamek]] (daytime) or [[King Boo]] (nighttime)

*In the ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' manual, it says 10 Blue or Red Spaces turn into Bowser Spaces in the Last Four Turns. This is most likely an error, as Blue and Red Spaces turn into Koopa Kid Spaces in-game.
