Stars

Mario Party 9 Trailer!
In the beginning of the trailer, about at the 0:08 mark, you can see at the top of the screen that there are silver stars instead of the traditional golden stars. What's more is that you don't pay any coins for it. In fact, I don't even see any coins at the top screen, which gives another question on whether there are coins or not... But anyway, this is fine if it's only for that board, but I really hope it's not on all boards. Thoughts?

I want the coins and star back, those silver stars doesn't look right

 

[Swalot]

I think that you win a silver star from mini games, and that it's your currency for a store mode if they have one.

Looks interesting, it seems as though they are all over the board, and if you pass it when its your turn, you get the star. For this board at least.

Around the 33 second mark there is a purple star. Will that result in losing a star?

Either that or maybe giving multiple stars. But that purple color looks..."evil" so it's a better bet that it works the same way as a Ztar.

Ztar looks a lot darker. But I agree with him. What if the purple star is you know...

No shit, that's why I said "same way as a Ztar."

I'm guessing story mode...hopefully.

Weird I forgot about that possibility entirely.

 

[Shaby]

Looks interesing!
It has to be a new mode...

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

It does seem different. You probably pick them up along the way, with the character in front getting to pick them up. But still, I hope there's still the trade 20 coins for a star objective type mode, but for now, it's still early to confirm, as we know it's a trailer and the game is in beta.

Remember at the end of the trailer, the original star appears at the end revealing the logo? I think the old star system might still be there.

Good catch. That like legit gives more hope for there being the normal system. But still them advertising the car system would suggest that this will be a pretty big thing in the game since it took up the whole trailer for a game that's apart of a franchise that, apart from one Japanese arcade game released last year, has been dormant since 2007.

 

[kpatable]

I just hope the car thing is an optional mode that isn't mandatory to play on any certain board. It just seems really stupid and backwards. That being said, they should have multiple choosable modes that can be applied for each board; you could choose the traditional star mode if you want, or you could choose the other *coughGIMMICKYcough* ones, too.

isnt the zstar bowser star?

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

isnt the zstar bowser star?

Well...partially, but in most cases, no. Ztar has been seen on his own in Mario Party 4 and 5, in Beach Volley Folley and Card Party, respectively.

Also, we don't know if Ztar will be in Mario Party 9 yet.

Ztar was in 6 too. In the castaway bay board, when u get to the star space and bowser is there, he will make you pay for "dark star" as bowser says it. But it looks like a Ztar. At least that's what I remember the last time I played that board was last weekend...
