''[[Mario Party 4]]'' reworks Chance Time into '''Reversal of Fortune'''. Instead of hitting blocks, the player uses a pinball machine to launch a ball into a slot that determines what happens. For each of three pinball boards, the player can choose how much power to launch the ball with using the {{button|gcn|Stick}}, pressing {{button|gcn|A}} to launch the ball. The game also applies a significant random component to the ball strength, so it is not possible for the player to control what happens in any feasible way. The order is also fixed; the giver is always chosen first, followed by the receiver, and then the amount. | ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' reworks Chance Time into the '''Reversal of Fortune'''.

'''Chance Roulette''' in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' behaves much like in ''Mario Party 3''; the player hits a single block to determine the three results in a predetermined order. Like in ''Mario Party 4'', the order is fixed to "left, right, middle", and the roulette cycles too quickly for the player to time anything on purpose. The main difference is that there is a significant bias towards the left side being the receiver, rather than it being equally likely for wealth to be going in either direction. In addition, if the player activates the event by using a [[Chance Capsule]] on themselves (for 20 coins), they are automatically placed on the left side. As a result, a self-used capsule applies a notable boost in the chances of something good happening to the player. | The '''Chance Roulette''' in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' behaves much like in ''Mario Party 3''; the player hits a single block to determine the three results in a predetermined order.

After a long absence, Chance Time returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. It behaves in a combination of both the original ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'' iterations: three blocks of fixed cycles that start slow and speed up and can be hit in any order (as in ''Mario Party''), with the middle block's outcomes being identical to those found in ''Mario Party 2''. | After a long absence, Chance Time returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

*The box art for ''Mario Party'' shows a Chance Time die with Luigi, Bowser, and Star symbols. However, it is not possible for a Chance Time die to have all these symbols at once. There is a die for the playable characters, a die for Stars and Coins, and a Bowser-only die that is exclusive to Bowser's Chance Time. | *The box art for ''Mario Party'' shows a Chance Time die with Luigi, Bowser, and Star symbols.
