Mini Stars are a recurring item in the Mario Party series. They first appear in Mario Party 9 and Mario Party 10.
In Mario Party series[]
Mario Party 9[]
In solo mode, Bowser and his son Bowser Jr. have stolen all of the Mini Stars to put them to "good use" as they say. Mario and the other characters compete against one another to collect the Mini Stars in hopes of being the Super Star.
Like the original stars, these items are collectibles on the board which tallies up to the player's total amount of one to determine who is the Super Star at the end. Mini Stars also double as a type of currency, like coins. Their anti-counterparts are entitled Mini Ztars, deducting the amount of Mini Stars from one's scoreboard.
After a minigame, Mini Stars are given out to players in the various place. The higher ranking, the more Mini Stars gotten. Mini Stars are also given out to the winning captain from his/her current turn. They are also found on their very own Mini Star Spaces commonly appearing from Lucky Spaces. On a board, they can also be collected in groups of three, five or ten. They can even be gotten in a certain event.
After a board play, these items are converted to Party Points, but aren't when added as a handicap and the Party Points are rather deducted. Five bonus Mini Stars are also given afterwards as Bonus Mini Stars for each player. This also happens in the story mode, but only after Bowser's Station.
In DK's Jungle Ruins, these collectibles don't appear. Instead they are replaced with Bananas while Mini Ztars are replaced with Z-Bananas. However they (Bananas and Z-Bananas) have the same effect as Mini Stars and Mini Ztars from previous boards in the game. Bonus Stars (if played on DK's Jungle Ruins) give the player 10 bonus bananas.
Mario Party 10[]
In Mario Party 10, mini stars and mini ztars --on boards-- remain unchanged (from the previous installment).
Mario Party: Island Tour[]
Both Mini Stars and Mini Ztars make a returning appearance, having the same effect as before, but only appear on Star-Crossed Skyway, where they are rewarded at the end of each part of the board.
