Bad Luck Space
| Bad Luck Space | |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Penalizes the player who lands on it as determined by a roulette. |
| First appearance | Super Mario Party (2018) |
The Bad Luck Space is a space in Super Mario Party that replaces the Unlucky Spaces from the previous Mario Party games, as well as the Bowser Spaces and Bowser Jr. Spaces due to both Bowser and Bowser Jr. being playable in the game. They have a jagged appearance, and are red in color with a white question mark and exclamation mark. Landing on a Bad Luck Space will make Kamek spin a roulette that will decide what negative outcome will befall the player that landed on it. During the last three turns event, Kamek turns the spaces into Extra Bad Luck Spaces, which are more severe variants of the Bad Luck Space, although many of the regular Bad Luck events can also appear in the Extra Bad Luck Space roulette. In Partner Party, Kamek hides some Bad Luck Spaces in the Blank Spaces randomly on the board on the third turn.
The following is a list of possible options a player can encounter upon spinning the wheel:
- Lose (5 or 10) Coins
- Give (3 or 5) Coins to all other players: If the player does not have enough coins to evenly give out, leftover coins will be given to rivals at random.
- Give (5 or 10) Coins to the last place player: This event only appears if the player is in 1st or 2nd place.
- Give 5 Coins to a random player
- The Star moves: Kamek creates a purple bubble around Toadette, forcing the Star to change positions. This event does not appear on Kamek's Tantalizing Tower, due to that board having a fixed location for Stars.
- Raise the coin cost for Stars: Kamek gives Toadette a "x2" Card, temporarily doubling the amount to pay for that Star. This event does not appear on Kamek's Tantalizing Tower, due to that board's unique pricing system for Stars.
- Lose one item: If this option is selected, but the player has no items, then nothing will happen.
- Lose 20 Coins: Exclusive to Partner Party as a regular Bad Luck space event.
- Give the rival team (10 or 20) coins: Exclusive to Partner Party.
Nothing happens when a player with no Coins or Items has the wheel land on one of the "Lose Coins/Items" options.

Notes[edit]
- Kamek will have different dialogue if either Bowser or Bowser Jr. lands on this space, and he will be scared for the entire event. After the roulette stops, Kamek will apologize saying he is only doing his job.
