'''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.  


These types of items are similar to most of the [[Capsule]]s that came from ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' through ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. Hexes can be obtained by simply passing through a [[Hex Area]]; different types of Hexes may vary during gameplay. Players can carry three Hexes and normal items at a time. The players can use them to place traps on the board before the player hits the [[Dice Block]]. Hexes can be only placed on [[Blue Space|Blue]] and [[Red Space]]s during in the gameboard within five spaces, forward or backward from the player's current position.
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.


When a player lands on their own Hex the player placed earlier, the player gains five [[Coin]]s instead of executing the trap itself; and then it disappears. In addition, when the player places a Hex on a previous player's Hex in the gameboard, the previous player's Hex is removed from the board and the new Hex takes its place.

* Hex is an abbreviation of the word hexagon, the shape of the items appearing the game. It is also a type of curse. They can be thought of as cursing the space the player throws it to.
*The name "Hex" refers to both its hexagonal design and its ability to "curse" spaces.
* Hexes are essentially the counterparts to the [[Character Space]]s of ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', replacing the space they are thrown to with that of the character's head.
*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.
