The '''Lucky Space''' is a space in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. There is usually only one on each board (with the shape of the space being different on each, including the tutorial). Each Lucky Space will transport the player to an otherwise inaccessible area of the board, where he/she can usually expect to find a small path of [[Blue Space]]s leading to a free [[Star]] (an exception made for [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]]). At the end of the path, the [[player]] will return to the main board. In most cases, there is an unlimited number of Stars that players can receive from revisiting these paths. | The '''Lucky Space''' is a space in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 9]]''.

- “Here's a great spot to land on! The Lucky Space! It sends you down a secret path!”
- —MC Ballyhoo, Mario Party 8
The Lucky Space is a space in Mario Party 8 and Mario Party 9. There is usually only one on each board (with the shape of the space being different on each, including the tutorial). Each Lucky Space will transport the player to an otherwise inaccessible area of the board, where he/she can usually expect to find a small path of Blue Spaces leading to a free Star (an exception made for Bowser's Warped Orbit). At the end of the path, the player will return to the main board. In most cases, there is an unlimited number of Stars that players can receive from revisiting these paths.

It will unwillingly give the player the star, and then order some seagulls to return the player to the main board, one space beyond the Lucky Space.

If players land on this board's Lucky Space, they will travel up a staircase to the second floor, where there is a small path of Blue Spaces, each with three coins on top. At the end of the path is a Warp Pipe, which leads directly to King Boo's den. This path is basically an alternate route to King Boo, as ten coins still must be paid to earn the Star, and King Boo will still shuffle the board if the Star is earned this way. If someone happens to be on the second floor when King Boo shuffles the board, he/she will be sent back to the start, making his/her progress a complete loss. Due to the randomized layout of the board, the Lucky Space can be located in any one of the main rooms.
