Mario Party 9 Spaces [Speculation]

Spaces

Mario Party 9 is seeing the largest number of spaces in the entire series. Some of the spaces seem to function differently than previous Mario Party games.

       

  

  • Dice (Blue) Space – You will receive a Dice Block when you land on this space.
  • Green Space – Nothing happens when you land on this space.
  • Lucky (Blue Note) Space – Leads you to a special route. Good things happen to you.
  • Unlucky (Red Note) Space – Leads you to a special route. Bad things happen to you.
  • Random (!) Space – Unknown effect.
  • Alternate (Change) Space – We don’t know what it does, but it could either switch the direction the player is headed, or change the order of the players.
  • VS. Space – Most likely a 4-Player mini-game will commence when landed on.
  • 1-VS.-3 Space – Same as above, only with a 1-VS.-3 mini-game.
  • Happening Space – Land on this space to commence an event.
  • Bowser Space – Nothing known, but expect similar Bowser events.
  • Bowser Jr. Space – This space may trigger a Bowser Jr. mini-game.
  • Continue (Blue Arrow) Space – Land on this space to roll again. You will advance.
  • Backwards (Red Arrow) Space (No screen/image) – Land on this space to roll again. You will go backwards.
  • Captain Event Space (Green Cancel-like Space) (No screen/image) – Unknown effect; related to captain.
  • Boss Battle Space (Red Cancel-like Space) (No screen/image) – A Boss Battle will commence. It’s likely that you’ll always be forced to stop on this space, even if you still have additional spaces to move on.
  • Competition Mini-Game Space (Hammer Space) (No screen/image) – Starts a Competition Mini-Game when landed on.
  • Lucky Star Space (Mini-Star Space) (No screen/image) – You will earn Mini-Stars.
  • Unlucky Star Space (Mini-Ztar Space) (No screen/image) – You will lose Mini-Stars.

Notice that Red and DK spaces do not appear anywhere on the board. It can also be noted that the Star Space is also missing.

 

 

There are also two star collectibles that can be obtained when passing through them. They are similar to the star spaces of past games.
