'''Chance Time''' is one of the features in the first ''[[Mario Party]]'' game, where players could change the course of the game a little, or even totally. All they had to do was land on the [[Chance Time Space]] to play. The players have to hit three orange blocks to decide what will happen. Two of the blocks have pictures of all four players' heads, and the one in the middle shows what they are swapping ([[coin]]s or [[Star]]s). The players can hit the blocks in any order, but whatever the order, the remaining blocks spin faster with each block hit. In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', the way it is played is remains the same, but with a few aesthetic changes.

Also in ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'', [[Bowser]] has his own Chance Time event appropriately titled ''Bowser's Chance Time''. This game can be played by landing on a [[Bowser Space]] and having Bowser's event roulette stop on this option. It is played the same as regular Chance Time, except the block on the right always displays Bowser's face and every option on the middle block results in something being given to Bowser. However, the players cannot lose one of their stars; only coins can be given to Bowser. Both the left and the middle blocks also spin extremely fast instead of getting gradually faster like in the regular Chance Time.

In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', the game's name is changed to '''Reversal of Fortune'''. Here, players choose two players and what they are swapping, but by pinball. Holding down the {{button|gcn|Stick}} pulls the shooter farther away, and the {{button|gcn|A}} button releases the pinball. Wherever the pinball lands decides the outcome. Also, tiny [[Koopa Kids]] are in the way to knock the pinball off-course. The order in which the different variables (giving player, receiving player, and what items are at stake) are selected is now fixed: first the giving player, then the receiving player, and finally the items. ~~This is also~~ the ~~first game where it is possible~~ to trade stars ~~as well as coins in one round of Reversal of Fortune~~.

The items are trade coins, give 20 coins to the receiver, trade both coins and stars, give one or two stars to the receiver, or trade stars.

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the event is called '''Chance Roulette''', and is is activated by the effect of a [[Chance Capsule]] (either by using it or by landing on a space where one has been placed). The mini-game itself has been changed again; the player must hit a ! Block to stop a roulette similar to ''Mario Party 3'', but who is involved and the outcome is determined in the fixed order seen in ''Mario Party 4''.
