Bonus Star Explanation ¶
Bonus Stars are always given at the very end of a game, directly before the winner is determined. They reward players that met certain conditions throughout the game (e.g, won the most minigames or landed on the most happening spaces) with one additional star. Each game uses different Bonus Stars that require different conditions to be met.
Mario Party Advance and Island Tour don't use bonus stars.
All games except MP10 (Mario Party 10) & SMP (Super Mario Party) reward the players with 3 different Bonus Stars; MP10 & SMP use 2 instead.
In SMP, if everyone has at least one ally a third Bonus Star will be given out, said Bonus Star will always be "Buddy Bonus".
As MP9 & 10 both don't use normal stars they give out 5 Mini-Stars instead. On DK's Jungle Ruins (MP9) they use 10 Bananas instead.
Mario Party Superstars has the option for "Classic" and "On" (all) bonus stars. Classic only includes "Eventful Star", "Minigame Star" and "Rich Star" (the first three listed below) while "On" includes all bonus stars the game supports (listed below).
Very little has been documented about Mario Party Star Rush & The Top 100 so some information might be wrong or missing. Please open an Issue on Github or contact me if you find something that's wrong or missing. Thank you!
