'''Eternal Star''' is the final board in ''[[Mario Party]]''. It is the only board not named after a character, and is unlocked by collecting 100 [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s and completing all other boards at least once. Upon meeting these requirements, [[Bowser]] will steal all of the Stars from the [[Mushroom Bank]], requiring the player to go to Eternal Star to retrieve them. After this happens, the rest of the boards become temporarily inaccessible until Eternal Star is completed. The board is a giant Star that was broken up by Bowser, who also wrote graffiti on it. Amongst the graffiti are drawings of [[Bowser's bogus items]] from the other boards, as well as the stone face from [[Bowser's Magma Mountain]]. Players need to collect Stars to put the giant Star back together. During the board's introduction, Bowser sends [[Koopa Troopa]] flying; as a result, he does not appear at the start to give [[Coin]]s to players returning there, though he still hosts the [[Last Five Turns Event]] and announces the final results.

Instead of [[Toad]], players have to get the Stars from Bowser's cohorts, the [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]]s. To get Stars from them, players will have to pay the Baby Bowser 20 coins as usual. However, this will cause the Baby Bowser to challenge the player to a [[Dice Block]] game, where the player must roll a higher number to win. The player's Dice Block is rigged to roll only numbers from 8-10, so the game is heavily weighted in the player's favor. If the player wins, the Baby Bowser gives up the Star and leaves, leaving an [[Chance Time Space|! Space]] behind. If the Baby Bowser wins, he takes a Star from the player if they have any. When all 7 of the Baby Bowsers are dispatched, 7 more will appear. The [[Event Space|Happening Space]]s make Bowser use his magic to send all the players back to the start. The different parts of the board are connected by a system of Warp Machines with one of three possible connection layouts, which is chosen at random at the start of a game. If a player reaches Bowser, he steals a Star (or up to 20 coins if they don't have a Star), sends them back to start, then changes the routes of the Warp Machines.

At the end of the game, the winner's stars form into a large star that blasts Bowser and Baby Bowser into outer space, and the giant Star is then put back together. It zooms into an endless warp, taking all the players, Toad, [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Boo]], and the Star along for the ride.

==Trivia==
[[File:SM64 Texture L is Real.png|frame]]
*Because of the nature of this board's Happening Spaces, it is impossible to have a green Player Panel on this board.
*This is one of the two boards to not have a 4th place downfall at the end of the game, the other board being [[Bowser's Magma Mountain]].
*What appear to be the words "Eternal Star" appear on a plaque under a star sculpture in the [[Courtyard (Peach's Castle)|courtyard]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', though due to the low resolution, they are commonly interpreted as the nonsensical statement "[[List of rumors and urban legends#Luigi in Super Mario 64 / "L is real 2401"|L is real 2401]]."
