Last Five Turns Event

The Last Five Turns event is an event in the . It takes place during the last five turns of the board map. During the final five turns of the board map, a separate event is hosted by a certain non-playable, where numerous events are played out that can alter the character's progress.
First introduced in the original Mario Party, the last five turns events has become a staple part of the Mario Party series games. This event is typically played during the last five turns of the game. During this time, the main host usually announces the current standings for each player, and then proceeds on with the event. In the earlier Mario Party games, a random player was usually rewarded extra coins by another Mario series character. The character that usually received the coins was the last place player, although the character that hands the coins out may give it to a different character. However, the last five turns events became more diversified in Mario Party 5, where a variety of events were introduced to add more variation to the board maps during the final turns. Some of the events include extra Star Spaces and Bowser Spaces. Also, during this event, the hosts usually change the rules for the final five turns, like the number of coins each space gives you doubles or triples, and a duel minigame will be initiated when two players land on the same space.
==Mario Party==
In the original Mario Party, Koopa Troopa talked to the players (outside the TV) to announce the current standings, then predicted who the Superstar would be at the end of the game. (The predictions did nothing to help game play, and were usually wrong.) Then, for the rest of the game, Blue and Red Spaces would be worth double coins when landed on, and Koopa would give 20 coins to players who passed him. Players (who land on Blue or Red Spaces) would get or lose 6 coins. 
==Mario Party 2==
In Mario Party 2, the event was hosted by Toad (and Baby Bowser in Bowser Land), who first gave the current standings, then introduced a character to predict the Superstar (this was usually a green or red-shelled Koopa Troopa, but sometimes Whomp made the prediction. However, it was always Bowser who made the prediction in Bowser Land). The predicted player was given ten coins from the predictor. From that point onward, Blue and Red Spaces' value were doubled again (the player would get or lose 6 coins), and players that land on the same space as another player will play a Duel Mini-Game with them before activating the space.
==Mario Party 3==
In Mario Party 3, the event was the same as previous installment, but the characters that give out coins are different than the ones from the previous games. The three characters that appear in this event is either the Millennium Star, Bowser, or Whomp. The Millenium Star and Whomp will hand ten coins to the character that they predict will win the game. However, on certain occasions, Baby Bowser will host the event and let Bowser predict who the loser would be. The predicted player ends up losing ten coins to the tyrant. Afterwards, Blue and Red Spaces are again double coins (the player gets or loses 6 coins), and players that land on the same space as another character will participate in a Duel Mini-Game with them before activating the space like the last installment. It should be noted that Whomp only comes out whenever Mario is present. If Whomp does appear, he will always give ten coins to Mario.
==Mario Party 4==
In Mario Party 4, there were new changes to the event. Here, the board's host did a lottery, if at least one player managed to get a Lucky Party Ticket from the Lottery Shop. The host spun a wheel showing all four players' faces. If a player's ticket matched all three faces shown from the wheel, he/she received a Star that will be added to his/her current score on the Scoreboard. After that, the standards were given, then the host let the player in last place spin a special roulette. Then, for the rest of the game, the board would have one of these four new rules:
* Coin Multiplier: Blue and Red spaces were worth twice as much (an event returning from the previous three installments --from the original Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Party 3). 
* All Red Spaces become Bowser Spaces.
* All Red Spaces become Fortune Spaces.
* Star Present: The price of Stars (via the Star Space) changes from 20 coins to being absolutely free.
==Mario Party 5==
In Mario Party 5, Bowser is the one hosting the event. He first gave the current standings as usual, then made the player in last place spin the roulette. Then, for the rest of the game, the board would have one of these four new rules:
* Plus and Minus Spaces were worth 3x (and players get or lose 9 coins) 
* All Red Spaces become Bowser Spaces.
* All Red and Blue Spaces will become Capsule Spaces.
* Five Star Spaces
The "Coin Multiplier" --beginning with this installment-- returns, but is a strengthened version of the original rule (from the first four installments --from the original Mario Party through Mario Party 4). 
(Note: If two players land on the same space, then a Duel Minigame will begin automatically.)
==Mario Party 6==
In Mario Party 6, the event was hosted by Brighton during the day, and Twila at night. Whoever was hosting it gave the current standings like always, then let the player in last place spin a bonus wheel, giving them one of the following:
* Having Blue and Red Space values tripled (and Character Spaces too)
* Receive 40 coins.
* Have 5 of your own Character Spaces be put somewhere on the board.
* Bowser Revolution: Bowser appears and takes most of the player that is in last place his/her coins and divides it to the other players. It should be noted that if a Bowser Revolution appears, Bowser will host the Last Five Turns Event for the duration of the time.
(Note: This is the same as Mario Party 5's version but you have to wager 40 coins if your opponent has a Star when the Duel Minigame begins.)
==Mario Party 7==
In Mario Party 7, it was called the Last Four Turns event because Bowser Time always came every five turns. Bowser was hosting again but made Koopa Kid give him the standards (in reverse order, too). Bowser summons the player in last place to spin his roulette wheel to get a bonus or a rule change. They got one of these results:
* Blue and Red Space values were tripled (Character Spaces, too)
* The player received 40 coins
* The price of Stars --via the Star Space-- were halved (for Grand Canal and Bowser's Enchanted Inferno! only)
* The price of riding Chain Chomps were halved (for Pyramid Park only)
* All Red Spaces became Bowser Spaces (except for Grand Canal and Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!)
* 10 Koopa Kid Spaces were added on the board
Since no Bowser Spaces appear in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!, the rule of Red Spaces becoming Bowser Spaces cannot occur in Grand Canal nor Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!. 
==Mario Party 8==
In Mario Party 8, this event was replaced altogether by a new event called Chump Charity. In Chump Charity, MC Ballyhoo awards the last place player --or team in Tag Battle-- Duelo Candy (to try to catch up and win). The exception is Koopa's Tycoon Town (where the player --or team in Tag Battle-- instead receives 30 coins). His hat (Big Top), he showers the board with coins. He plops Coin Bags on Red Spaces and 1 coin on Blue Spaces. If played on the board King Boo's Haunted Hideaway, if the next star (from King Boo) is taken, King Boo shuffles the board. Then the coins and coin bags disappear. 
There is a similar version in Star Battle Arena. In this event, MC Ballyhoo shows what player is "likely the winner". And he shows the player who is falling behind. Then the falling behind player is challenged by a Dart Wheel to earn a prize in order to try to catch up to the goal to win the stage. 
The prize can be: 
*DK's Treetop Temple - Thrice Candy, Springo Candy, or nothing
*Goomba's Booty Boardwalk - Vampire Candy, 20 coins, or nothing
*King Boo's Haunted Hideaway - Thrice Candy, Springo Candy, or nothing
*Shy Guy's Perplex Express - Bowlo Candy, 20 coins, or nothing
*Koopa's Tycoon Town - Bitsize Candy, 20 coins, or nothing
*Bowser's Warped Orbit - Bullet Candy, Bowser Candy, or nothing 
==Mario Party DS==
In Mario Party DS the Last Five Turns are renamed Final 5 Frenzy. Bowser announces the standings and singles out the player in last place. That player is then allowed to spin a "wheel" to see what benefit they can get to help them get back into the game. This benefit is chosen at random from four of the following:
* Receive 20 Coins - The player receives 20 coins.
* Receive 30 Coins - The player receives 30 coins. (This can only occur Toadette's Music Room and Kamek's Library.)
* Get 10 Coins from Others - The player receives ten coins from each of the other players. Should a player have less than this amount, he or she forfeits all of their coins to the player in last.
* Get 1 Star - The player receives a Star.
* Stars for 5 Coins - The players can now purchase Stars (via the Star Space) at a discounted rate of 5 coins per star until the game ends. Unlike the previous options, this effect applies to all players, not just the one that spun this result. (This can occur on Wiggler's Garden, DK's Stone Statue, and Bowser's Pinball Machine.)
Note that on the wheel is also one "joke" space that contains an absurdly positive result. That is, "Get 100 Stars" or "Get 300 Stars". The wheel will never land on this space (that is, the golden prizes), and if it does, the wheel will go to another result.
