Star Carnival Areas

Many separate areas collectively comprise the Star Carnival:

  • Party Tent – The second biggest tent. The Party Tent is on the lower right side of the carnival.
  • Star Battle Arena – Most likely the main attraction. Characters face off in various boards trying to get stars. It is located to the top right, but played on the Star Carnival Stage in the center of the carnival.
  • Minigame Tent – An arcade in the Star Carnival, Miis, Koopas, Shy Guys, Goombas and many other species come to have fun here playing mini-games. It is located behind the big stadium in the middle of the carnival.
  • Extras Zone – A tent full of games that even Miis can play here! These games are found nowhere else in the carnival. It is located to the top left of the carnival.
  • Fun Bazaar – Characters can come here to buy things-from games, to music to also looking at character's records in games. It is located on the lower left of the carnival.
  • Star Carnival Stage – The main stage of the Star Carnival, located directly in the center of the Star Carnival. The Star Battles are held here and this is where the end-of-game ceremonies take place at the end of a Party Tent match.
