Mario Party Bonus Star List
This site is outdated. Use this updated and interactive version instead. Thank you!
Bonus Stars are always given at the very end of a game, directly before the winner is determined. There are a lot of different bonus stars (list is below), each game has different ones. They reward certain players that met certain conditions throughout the game, like won the most minigames or landed on the most happening spaces.
Mario Party Advance and Island Tour don't have bonus stars, all other games except 10 and SMP give 3 bonus stars, Mario Party 10 and SMP give 2 bonus stars instead, in SMP you get a additional "buddy bonus" in case everyone got at least one ally.
They count towards the star counter like any other normal star would. In Mario Party 9 and 10 they give 5 mini-stars instead, on the DK's Jungle Ruins board in MP9 it gives 10 bananas.
