'''Item Shops''' are a type of shop that appears in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. They sell [[items]] to the player in exchange for coins, and are located in one or more locations on each board in the games they appear in. When passed by, they may be entered by the player, and generally allow the player to purchase a single item from a limited selection. | '''Item Shops''' are a type of shop that appears in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''.

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.

''Mario Party 4'' once again features two Item Shops on each board. In this game, they are run by the host of the board being played, and each shopkeeper has unique dialogue, but they are otherwise identical. Unlike in ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Mario Party 3'', the items offered by Item Shops are no longer determined by the player's placement or the number of turns remaining, but instead are largely random<ref>ZoomZike, September 13, 2020. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfrnM5fk9s4 Identifying Luck: Mario Party 4] ''YouTube''. Retrieved July 12, 2021.</ref>. Shops always have exactly five items for sale, at least one of which the player can afford (for example, if the player has between 5 and 9 coins, a [[Mega Mushroom]] or [[Mini Mushroom]] will be offered, since these items cost 5 coins). Much like in ''Mario Party 3'', the player will be denied entry to 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, and only one item can be purchased per visit. | [[File:ItemShopWarpPipe.png|thumb|right|[[Waluigi]] buying a Warp Pipe at Toad's Item Shop on [[Toad's Midway Madness]].]] | ||

On the Extra Room boards, [[Mega Board Mayhem]] and [[Mini Board Mad-Dash]], Item Shops work differently from normal. While they still offer a "selection" of five items, all five of these items are always of the same type, chosen from [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Sparky Sticker]]s, [[Super Mega Mushroom]]s, and [[Super Mini Mushroom]]s. If the player visits an Item Shop on one of these boards while carrying between 5 and 9 coins, five Warp Pipes will be offered, but the player will not be able to purchase any of them as they cost 10 coins. | On the Extra Room boards, [[Mega Board Mayhem]] and [[Mini Board Mad-Dash]], Item Shops work differently from normal.

In '' | In ''Super Mario Party'', there are two Item Shops on each board run by a [[Flutter]], except for [[Kamek's Tantalizing Tower]], which only has one. These Item Shops always offer three items, and the player can purchase up to one item per visit. Unlike in previous ''Mario Party'' titles, Item Shops always offer the same selection of items, and different Item Shops on the same board have different selections available. | ||
On the board [[Kamek's Tantalizing Tower]], there is a secondary Item Shop run by a [[Toady]] called the '''Shady Shop'''. When this shop is visited, the Toady will forcibly sell the player a [[Dash Mushroom]], Poison Mushroom, or [[Custom Dice Block]] for 6 coins. Whenever an item is bought from Toady, it will disappear from the stock until each item has been bought once, then the shop is refilled again. | On the board [[Kamek's Tantalizing Tower]], there is a secondary Item Shop run by a [[Toady]] called the '''Shady Shop'''.
