Star

Stars are items that appear throughout the Mario series and also the Mario Party series. In the Mario Party series, Stars are the items that are needed to win when playing through a board. Stars are normally obtained is exchange for coins, and if the current player has enough coins, he/she will earn a Star. Bonus Stars are Stars that are obtained at the end of a board. There are different types of Bonus Stars and each of them are earned if a player manages to do what they are required for the players to do. In Mario Party 10 and Mario Party 11, Stars are worth 50 coins each. Ztars are the opposite of Stars, and when collected, the current player (the captain, in this case) will lose a Star. Ztars are worth 30 coins each.

In story mode (solo mode), Bowser and Bowser Jr. stole the Stars using a star-attracting machine and Bowser told Mario that he and his friends must gain coins to retrieve the Stars. Mario and his group go search for the Stars, even though they might be risky to get.
