'''Item Shops''' are a type of shop that appear in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. They sell [[items]] to the player in exchange for [[coin]]s and are located in one or more locations on each [[board (Mario Party series)|board]] in the games they appear in. When passed by, they may be entered by the player, and generally allow the player to purchase a single item from a limited selection.

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', there are two Item Shops on each board, and each time a player passes by one, it will randomly be run by [[Toad]], whose shop is called '''Toad's Trading Post''', or Baby Bowser, whose shop is called '''Baby Bowser's Joint'''. The two shopkeepers each have a different selection of items: Toad mainly sells items that directly benefit the player, while Baby Bowser mainly sells items that can be used to hinder opponents. Either shopkeeper is capable of selling [[Skeleton Key]]s and [[Item Bag]]s (although Item Bags may only contain items sold by the shopkeeper that is offering the Item Bag, as well as rare items at Toad's Trading Post).<ref name="Identifying_Luck_3">ZoomZike, March 16, 2020.

''[[Mario Party 4]]'' once again features two Item Shops on each board. In this game, they are run by the host of the board being played, and each shopkeeper has unique dialogue, but they are otherwise identical. Unlike in ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Mario Party 3'', the items offered by Item Shops are no longer determined by the player's placement or the number of turns remaining, but instead are largely random.<ref>ZoomZike, September 13, 2020.

Retrieved July 12, 2021.</ref> Shops always have exactly five different items for sale, at least one of which the player can afford (for example, if the player has between 5 and 9 coins, a [[Mega Mushroom]] or [[Mini Mushroom]] will be offered, since these items cost 5 coins). Much like in ''Mario Party 3'', the player will be denied entry to an Item Shop if they have fewer than 5 coins, are already carrying the capacity of 3 items, or if it is the last turn.
