Bonus Stars

In the Mario Party Series, Bonus Stars are extra stars that goes to the players based on their performance throughout the game. They are always awarded at the end of the game in Party Mode. In Mario Party - Mario Party 6, they give out 3 while in Mario Party 7 - Mario Party DS they can only give you 3 out of 6. Starting with Mario Party 5 and continuing to Mario Party 8, the design of the bonus stars change so it will match the prize. (For example: The Running Star's logo is a person running, the Red Star's logo is a Red Space and the Orb Star's logo is an Orb)

These extra stars will be added to his/her current star total on the Scoreboard to get his/her final score.
