An interesting note about Mario Party 3: In the board where they explain the rules, Tumble talks briefly about hidden blocks. He says that you can get coins, a star, or items. To demonstrate, Mario gets one of each type of block, and the item Mario gets is a Mushroom, even though it appears to be impossible to get one in normal gameplay.

[@DefinitivNichtSascha]

I am dumbfounded by the fact that I have never, in all of my years of playing Mario Party DS, managed to find a Block Sensor in an Item Shop. I'd always thought it was exclusive to the Grab Bag,

[@leveldown8743]

1. Fancy seing you here. 2. Same here. I always played the maximum amount of turns just so I could buy a Grab Bag in the Shop and recieve the elusive Block Sensor. 3. And because I am me and therefore have awful luck, most of the time I got it it resultet in a nice, refreshing Ztar. Totally worth it.

[@FrahdChikun]

I swear there's a rare oddity in Mario Party 5's Card Party mode. When you flip a Star Card showing a Star, sometimes the Star will turn out to be fake, turning into a Ztar, with a special animation to it as well (the star shatters, revealing the Ztar). Has anyone else encountered this? last time I experienced this was like over 10 years ago (or my mind could just be remembering it wrong). EDIT: So I checked the comments of the last Rare Oddities video, and to my surprise, other people have experienced this! Please do a video on this!

"Placing a Hex on a Hidden Block Space will NOT remove the Hidden Block." ProtonJon: "WELL, THIS EXPLAINS A LOT!!"

[@jacobchang7165]

About Ztars in the Mario Party series, in Mario Party 6, they're called "Shadow Stars" while in Mario Party 7, they're called "Dark Stars" (or in PAL version, "Z Stars"). In all other installments in the series (if Mario Party 2 on VC for Wii, Mario Party 2 on VC for Wii U, and Mario Party DS on VC for Wii U is counted), all other games which have Ztars are just called "Ztars". You pronounce it with a normal "Z" sound (the "Z" in "Ztar"). But it's not easy to pronounce. By the way, I did hear it mentioned in this video (a Ztar).

[@armandopenadejesus5052]

7:28 the only thing that can mess you up in the story mode edit: 8:58 it's even worse if you get a zstar on a red space especially in Bowser's pinball machine if you landed in the 0 Zone and get a 6 or less on the dice block and that can screw you up big time

What would happen and what dialogue would be different then? Who would get the last place benefits in Mario Parties 4 on up when there's a tie for last? Random? Port priority?

[@georgecortes3416]

Hey MPL, so I’ve been loving this series so far! If you come back to it in the near future, I have an idea for your next Rare Oddities: Every Instance if getting a Ztar. And I mean for EVERY instance! Mostly because I wanna see footage of all the Star/Ztar cards/fake-outs in Card Party for Mario Party 5! Don’t forget, not only can Stars/Ztars become the other, but it can fake you out as well! Only times I can think of Ztars appearing outside of the main Party Mode is in 4 where it hosts the Beach Volley Minigame in the Extras Menu.

[@ILoveNumbers_MarioFan]

I think it would be interesting if Hidden Blocks appeared in Mario Party 6 and 7, and they would function like they did in Mario Party 3 (3 Hidden Blocks on Blue Spaces, 1 contains a Star, 1 contains 20 Coins, and 1 contains a random Capsule/Orb the player can use).

[@hiimemily]

I once had a game of Mario Party 3 in which all four players hit a hidden block in the same turn - two items and two coin blocks. Knowing now that there are three blocks on the board instead of just one, it doesn't seem quite as unlikely, but I'd still estimate the odds at about 1 in 50000. Put another way, I doubt I'll ever see such a turn for several years to come.

[@1Thunderfire]

The sounds of getting a block in Mario Party 4 sure brings back memories, especially that particular spot in Shy Guy's Jungle Jam.

[@TheRedCap]

Dude when you played the Mario Party DS hidden block clips, I was hit with such a wave of nostalgia, I can't describe it. That was the first game I got for my DS. I have yet to play a better Mario Party game than it. The N64 games (and Superstars) come close, but DS has em beat.

[@spongyoshi]

0:48 That's a bold statement, there. But great video, it was very interesting! Although I always wondered if, for the coin hidden block in MPDS, it was better to mash or to time your jumps at the end of the animation. I'm glad you still find cool ideas for this series! I think a video on whether or not Mario Party 9 dices are rigged on your placement would be cool but might not be what this series is really about but I'm looking forward for the next episode either way!

[@MathyOld]

It's better to time your jumps to a rhythm than to mash.

That’s cool, a rare oddity video on something that was designed to be a rare oddity!

[@Flashlight237]

Okay, so there are two oddities that I can think of for Mario Party... 1. LOSING in a coin minigame. I've only seen this once in Mario Party 7 when playing the minigame "Coin-tagious." Waluigi was getting 0 coins every time he hit the dice block, which made him get 0 coins. As a result, Waluigi's lose animation was shown, implying that he lost the minigame. 2. Triggering certain turn-based events (aside from items and orb spots) on the last turn. I had this happen to be when I got a Cursed Mushroom on the very last turn from a Koopa Kid, where he showed frustration towards the idea.

[@Amaiterasu]

Would it be possible to get an analysis on Mario Party 3-4 item Bags. I have always wondered how random the items you receive from them actually are, and are they worth it.

[@yoshixcrossing2355]

What's funny is that when I played Mario Party 4 for the first time, I played on the "Toad's Midway Madness" board and during the first turn, I had only rolled a 1, found a hidden block and immediately got a star! Best thing ever!

[@Agent-517]

Am I the only one who reads game manuals? I’m seeing people saying they’ve never seen the Block Sensor in DS, when the manual tells you the item exists. Though, I guess the manual doesn’t tell you it’s specific to the last five turns…

I loved playing MP DS but this is the first time i've seen the Block Sensor o.O

[@noahsmethers9339]

Whomp's ruins has 58 spaces on the map. One of those spaces is always a star. If it is the 4th turn, and I go last, that means that (assuming the best odds for this situation) this will be the 12th unique space landed on. Since no hidden blocks had been found, I had a 2/45 chance to find a lucky block. I find a hidden block. Next turn, I find another hidden block for a 2/54. Next turn I found ANOTHER hidden block! Another 2/54! If you do some math, that's an 8/131,220 chance! BTW I got this yesterday. Came to the video looking for answers, and thank you for telling me I should start gambling. With that luck, it's the same as finding two combees and one is shiny female. There's no way to prove what happened, and I don't need the internet's approval, I'm just in shock

[@GMKGoji01]

I learned this from King of Skill, but in Mario Party Superstars, blue spaces with hidden blocks make a different sound when landed on. With that knowledge in mind, one time on my 1v3 Mario Party in Horror Land, the enemy (i.e. Wario, Waluigi, and/or Birdo) took a hidden block two spaces from the red space (which is two spaces from the start). Using that knowledge, and restarting over and over, I used a custom dice, rolled the exact number to land on that space, and it took me a few attempts to get that star from the hidden block!

[@bluecokedragon]

[@connorburton1009]

I always thought the "hidden talents" bit of Luigi's description in the Mario Party 2 manual was referring to his AI having a higher chance to encounter hidden blocks, but some brief research suggests that particular phrasing was never actually part of his character description.

[@Mastersoniclink]

Big fan of Rare Oddities, loved every video that I’ve seen. I really would love an update for Superstars. I can’t get the achievement for Hidden Block Star. I don’t get it.

I've always wondered how hidden blocks worked though I swear the hidden blocks in Super Mario Party move during each character's turn as someone moved and didn't get a block then I moved onto the same space and got the block.

[@BlackDawn626]

I'm fairly certain it's been mentioned at least once, but there are also hidden blocks in Mario Party 1. Those blocks are random and provide you with either Koopa (20 coins I think), Bowser (Bowser event starts), and Boo (a regular Boo visit). Just thought I'd mention it in case it wasn't already :)

8:20 I've never seen a stand-alone Block Sensor in a shop and I maxed out the 99999 score cap twice.

[@thatonegamer4937]

In the first Mario Party, the Hidden Block CAN appear on Red Spaces, too. It also appears to have the same odds as getting Koopa, Boo, and Bowser as if it was on a Blue Space. If you have no coins or stars and get Bowser, he will give you a single coin...as opposed to like 10+ coins when that happens on a Bowser Space. I think he trades a star for coins if you have no coins but a star on the Hidden Block, like with the Bowser Space, but I'm not sure. In addition, if you have No Koopa and/or No Boo options on, these characters will also NOT appear in the Hidden Block, so you would get Bowser every time in this situation.

[@ReddKnight10]
