Mario Party 2 is the second game in the Mario Party series. This time, each characters can get different costumes.

New Space Spots

Since the release of Mario Party 1 we've all become accustomed to the usual spaces in which we land, like the Star Spot which iniated a single player game for the user who landed on it, but since the release of Mario Party 2 there have been many new spaces added here they are: List of new space spots Item Space - is where there is a chance to play an Item Game in various locations. It's marked as a green space with a treasure chest drawn on it. Battle Space - is where there is a chance to play games similar to 4-player games, with players automatically paying an entry fee which is collectively used as the prize. It's marked as a green space with a lightning bolt drawn on it. Koopa Bank Space - Players who pass this space must pay 5 coins to the bank. If a player doesn't have 5 coins, they put in as many as they have. Players who land on this space get all of the coins in the bank. It's marked as a green space with a money bag drawn on it (although the Koopa Bank building is indeed present before this space). In Bowser Land, it's called Bowser Bank and works in an inverse form: every time this space is bypassed, the player receives 5 coins and, whoever lands on it, loses as many coins as there were given away to the players, if the player who lands on the space has no coins he/she loses a star.
