In ''Mario Party 2'', there is one Item Shop run by a red-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]] on each board. These shops have between two and five items for sale at a time, depending on the player's placement (between 1st and 4th place) and how many turns are left in the game, divided between the first 5 turns, the mid-game, and the last 5 turns | In ''Mario Party 2'', there is one Item Shop run by a red-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]] on each board. These shops have between two and five items for sale at a time, depending on the player's placement (between 1st and 4th place) and how many turns are left in the game, divided between the first 5 turns, the mid-game, and the last 5 turns. Generally, the lower-placed the player is and the later in the game the current turn is, the more valuable and greater in number the offered items will be. All items sold at the Item Shop cost at least 10 coins, and if the player does not have at least 10 coins when they pass by, or if they are already carrying an item, they will not be allowed to enter the shop. Additionally, the Item Shop closes on the last turn of the game, preventing any more items from being purchased. | ||

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', there are two Item Shops on each board, and each time a player passes by one, it will randomly be run by [[Toad]], whose shop is called '''Toad's Trading Post''', or Baby Bowser, whose shop is called '''Baby Bowser's Joint'''. The two shopkeepers each have a different selection of items: Toad mainly sells items that directly benefit the player, while Baby Bowser mainly sells items that can be used to hinder opponents. Either shopkeeper is capable of selling [[Skeleton Key]]s and [[Item Bag]]s (although Item Bags may only contain items sold by the shopkeeper that is offering the Item Bag, as well as rare items at Toad's Trading Post)<ref name="Identifying_Luck_3">ZoomZike, March 16, 2020.

Similarly to the previous game, more valuable items in greater numbers are generally offered to players in lower places, and as the game progresses. The player will be denied purchase from an Item Shop if they have fewer than 5 coins, are already carrying the capacity of 3 items, or if it is the last turn. | ||

In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', Item Shops are run by [[Yellow Toad]]. They appear in their original locations on [[Space Land]] and [[Woody Woods]], as well as in a new location on [[Peach's Birthday Cake]], which did not originally have an Item Shop (due to Item Shops not appearing in ''[[Mario Party]]''). They have been shown to have as many as six items for sale, and up to one item can be purchased per visit<ref>Nintendo. June 15, 2021.
