Hello all. So I've decided to make a walkthrough for Mario Party 8. I will most 
likely add on to this guide as I play it and find other important things to 
include. If you see something I have left blank (for example, what the Bowser 
space does in some gameboards), please help me fill it in! I only have one 
other walkthrough on Gamefaqs right now and it's for Donkey Kong 64. 
Fortunately I've received nothing but positive feedback on that FAQ so I'll try 
my best with this one as well. Please feel free to e-mail me any questions you 
may have. I love getting questions! Also feel free to e-mail suggestions for 
improvement. Please be sure to title the e-mail something like "MP8 Questions" 
or something else that I won't delete! [email protected]
Please do not send me spam. Thanks!

Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0001 Characters~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Playable Characters:

Mario
Luigi
Peach
Yoshi
Wario
Daisy
Waluigi
Toad
Boo
Toadette
Birdo
Dry Bones
Blooper (unlockable)
Hammer Bros (unlockable)

Bowser: Of course Bowser returns in this game as he does in all Mario games. He 
makes his appearance in every gameboard by use of "Bowser Spaces" and also has 
a gameboard of his own. His ultimate appearance is as the "final boss" of the 
game at the end of the Star Battle Arena.

Shy Guy: Shy Guys also make an appearance in this game on their personal 
gameboard "Shy Guys Express". The Shy Guys you want to pay attention to are the 
ones at the end of the train which will give you +10 coins every time you reach 
them.

Donkey Kong: Donkey Kong can be a lifesaver in this game. Not only does he have 
his own personal board "DK Treetop Temple", but he also has his own squares on 
each board. If you land on a DK space, very good things will happen to you (for 
example he will give you a star, give you candy, or launch you straight to a 
star, etc.)

Koopa: The Koopa's main appearance is in the gameboard Koopa's Tycoon Town (one 
of the best boards of this game in my opinion).

King Boo: In the Haunted Mansion board, you will have to locate and pay King 
Boo for a star.

Goomba: In the boardwalk board, you will have to reach the King Goomba at the 
end of the path and give him enough coins to take the star from his treasure 
chest. If you don't have these coins he will kick you back to the start.

Ballyhoo & Big Top: The "Master of Catastrophe", MC Ballyhoo (who bares a 
STRIKING resemblance to Chuck Quizmo commonly known through his appearance in 
Paper Mario 64) is our host for this game. Not to be forgotten, Ballyhoo's hat 
(Big Top) also helps run the show.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0002 Modes/Game Areas~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to the Star Carnival!

There are 5 places to play in this game (all listed under "Play Choices" in the 
beginning of the game):

                                2.1 Party Tent
In the Party Tent you can play Battle Royale, Tag Battle, or Duel Battle. The 
difference between them is the number of people you play against. In the Battle 
Royale, you play against 3 other people (computer or human), in a Tag Battle 
the gameplay is team based and in a Duel Battle you play against one other 
person. In each you may choose how long you play for and change the Minigames 
and Bonus Stars options.

                           2.2 Star Battle Arena
In the Star Battle Arena, you will play through all stages (Bowser's being 
last) and will need to win each round in order to get a seemingly awesome prize 
(a life time supply of candy!). You will find that each gameboard differs a 
little from the ones in the Party Tent and you only play against one other 
character in each stage (selected randomly except for the Hammer Bros. at the 
end). Once you beat the stages you will fight Bowser (as is normal in Mario 
games). Goodluck!

                             2.3 Minigame Tent
Well, this place has exactly what you think---Minigames. I don't spend much 
time here so I will just quote the mini-descriptions written by the creators of 
this game. The Free Play Arcade is "Play any minigames you've found on the 
board maps". The Crown Showdown "Play minigames to rack up the set number of 
wins!". Flip Out Frenzy "Win minigames to take control of the most spaces!". 
Tic-Tac Drop "Win minigames to earn the right to make the next move!". And Test 
for the Best which has you play an assortment of games in order to get the 
highest ranking and move the balloon.

                             2.4 Extras Zone 
This area has a bunch of games not found in regular play. It includes games 
like bowling, Trial by Tile, Flagging Rights (you'll need a nunchuck for this), 
Canyon Cruises, Table Menace, Puzzle Pillars, Chomping Frenzy, and Moped 
Mayhem. You can use your Mii's instead of MP8 characters in this area.

                             2.5 Fun Bazaar
Here you can check your standings on minigames and can also trade Carnival

There are a few places we can visit in here, including:

collected so far.

the ability to play not-yet-unlocked minigames.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0003 Different Squares/Candy/Stars~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you may have guessed already, the different colored squares on the 
gameboards mean different things. Not only that, but there are additional 
surprise squares that either help or destroy you (depending on the square).

Blue squares: Every time you land on a blue square you will get +3 coins.

Red squares: Opposite of blue squares, every time you land on a red square you 
will get -3 coins.

? Squares: These do something different in each board. Sometimes they'll be 
beneficial, sometimes they'll be horrible. It all depends!

DK Squares: In each board these do something different, however they always 
help you. Sometimes they'll give you candy, sometimes they'll give you a star, 
sometimes they'll throw you directly to a star, etc. Once you land on this, the 
square turns into a Bowser Square.

Bowser Squares: Beware of the Bowser Squares! They do nothing but pure evil. 
Sometimes they'll take stars from you, or coins, etc.

Candy Stores: There are Candy Stores in each board. Here, depending on how much 
money you have, you may purchase candy to help you along in the game.


                           3.1 Different Candy

BLUE

-Bullet Candy: Transforms your player into a bullet and allows you to hit 3 
dice blocks for a possible 30 space move maximum. It takes one star from each 
player you pass and puts it in your star collection. This appears in Bowser's 
gameboard.

-Bowser Candy: Places a Bowser suit on your player and allows you to hit 2 dice 
blocks for a possible 20 space move maximum. Each player in your path loses 2 
stars which are then donated to you. This appears in Bowser's gameboard.

-Thwomp Candy: Transforms your character, enabling them to thwomp anyone and 
everyone in their path, reducing their coin collection by half.

-Duelo Candy: Sets your character on fire, enabling them to hit two dice blocks 
and duel with the first person they come across. The winner darts for a prize.


RED (Dice Block)

-Slowgo Candy: Slows the dice down so you can hit the number you want, however 
it reduces the block from 1-10 to 1-5.

-Twice Candy: Lets you hit the dice block twice (maximum amount of spaces to 
move: 20).

-Thrice Candy: Lets you hit the dice block three times (maximum amount of 
spaces to move: 30).


YELLOW (Affective after hitting the dice block)

-Bowlo Candy: Turns your player into a bowling ball and lets you hit the dice 
block. If you roll over anyone during your turn, they are forced to donate 10 
coins to your own pocket.

-Weeglee Candy: Turns your player into 3 mini players who take a piece of candy 
from everyone they pass during that turn and give it to you.

-Bit-Size Candy: Turns your player into an 8-bit version of the character and 
places old-school Mario coin boxes on all the squares that you run across 
during your turn (earning you 3 coins per square). This gives you a maximum of 
+30 coins (as long as you hit a 10 on the dice block).

-Bloway Candy: Turns the bottom half of your character into a tornado, blowing 
anyone in your path back to the start.


GREEN (Affective before hitting the dice block)

-Springo Candy: Turns your character into a spring, allowing them to jump to 
another player's position on the gameboard. The person you jump to all depends 
on which player you dart on the dart board. You will share the person's space, 
not switch places with them. You will also get a chance to hit the dice block 
after you land.

-Vampire Candy: Your player sprouts vampire wings and darts for an amount of 
coins which they will steal and claim from each player.

-Cashzap Candy: You will throw a dart at a dart board containing a picture of 
all your opponents. The person you land on will get half their coins zapped 
away by lightening bolts.


                            3.2 Different Stars

Bonus stars are awarded to people at the end of each stage. The extra stars are 
rewarded for the following: (Note-Some star names are incorrect)

-Candy Star: Goes to the player who ate the most Candy.

-Green Star: Goes to the player who landed on the most Green Spaces.

-Shopping Star: Goes to the player who bought the most items.

-Red Star: Goes to the player who landed on the most Red Spaces (they're good 
for something!).

-Minigame Star: Goes to the player who won the most minigames.

-Travel Star: Goes to the player who traveled the most spaces.

-Blue Star: Goes to the player who landed on the most Blue Spaces.

-Lucky Star: Goes to the player who landed on the most Lucky Spaces.

-DK Star: Goes to the player who landed on the most DK Spaces.

-Bowser Star: Goes to the player who landed on the most Bowser Spaces.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0004 Board Overviews~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The object of all these boards is to be the one with the most stars at the end 
of the set number of turns. Remember there are additional stars that are 
rewarded to the players after the stage is over. If you want to know more about 
these extra stars, see the previous section (0003 Different 
Squares/Candy/Stars).

NOTE: I will be explaining each board as played by Battle Royale in the Party 
Tent. In some cases, a small amount of the things I say may be slightly 
different. (For example, Star Battle Arena boards vary slightly).


                            4.1 DK's Treetop Temple

To get the star on this board you will need to be the first to reach the Star 
Space with 20 coins. After one of the players grabs the first star, another 
will appear in a different location on the board. Like always, you will be 
given 10 coins to start out with.

Special squares in this level: 

Star Space- Find the one which contains the star and you'll get it for 20 
coins.

DK Barrel Cannon- Land on one of the squares with a green arrow pointing toward 
a barrel cannon and DK will appear. As long as you have atleast 5 coins in your 
pocket you will have the option to get shot out of the barrel cannons. Beware 
of where they go, though. Sometimes they'll be very helpful, and sometimes they 
won't.

Yellow Candy Squares- All you have to do is pass over a yellow candy square in 
order to grab the mystery candy that it holds. If you find yourself without 
candy, you can always use the candy store at the top of the map to buy some.

DK Space- Donkey Kong appears, picking up and throwing the character who landed 
on his space directly to a Star Space.

Bowser Space- If someone lands on the DK space after it has been landed on 
already, Bowser will come and move the star's position.

? Spaces- The question mark spaces chase you backwards. Others on this same map 
(star battle arena, specifically) roll over everyone in their path, taking 
coins. Others on this same map will take 10 coins from you by a piranha plant.

Lucky Space- If you land on the Lucky Space by the DK statue, you will be taken 
to a new area where there are a bunch of coins and a free star. Definitely aim 
at landing on this space as many times as possible!

Chump Charity- Ballyhoo appears giving the person in last place a piece of 
Duelo Candy. He also places money on all of the squares (bags on the red ones).

Notes: Try to use the Lucky Space as much as possible. Not only does it give 
you a lot of coins, but it guarantees you a free star. Also, if you're positive 
as to where the DK barrel blast goes, make sure you take advantage of that 5 
coin ride.



                          4.2 Goomba's Booty Boardwalk 

In order to win this stage, you will need to get your character all the way to 
the end of the boardwalk where the King Goomba guards a star in his treasure 
chest. This star doesn't come at a cheap price, though. Show up with 50 coins 
and you'll get the star you deserve.

Special squares in this level:

DK Space- DK will take 5 coins from you and place them in a barrel. You will 
then proceed to shake it as hard and fast as you can. The faster you shake it 
in 3 seconds, the more coins you will get. 

Bowser Space- Bowser will place 3 fire balls on the square. They will dance 
around you and eventually come together to attack you. Try to avoid it so as to 
not lose very many coins.

Dolphin Space- You will get the chance to ride a Dolphin Shuttle 20 spaces for 
a bunch of coins. Since your goal is to reach the end with 50 coins, this isn't 
usually a wise investment.

? Squares- You get tossed forward a few spaces or you get a candy. If you land 
on the ? Square right before the treasure chest you'll get sent back to the 
start.

Lucky Squares- A dolphin will carry you to an ancient island which has a bunch 
of free coins and a free star! Try to land on this as much as possible.

Chump Charity- 1 piece of Duelo Candy is given out to the last place player. 
Coin bags are placed on red spaces and 1 coin is placed on all the other 
spaces.

Notes: Since your goal is to reach the end with 50 coins (or you'll be sent 
back to the start), try not to waste coins. Use the dolphins to skip spaces 
sparingly and only when you can afford it (for example, right after the Chump 
Charity when all spaces have coins on them). It's no use to skip 20 spaces just 
to be sent back to the beginning and start all over.




                         4.3 King Boo's Haunted Hideaway

In order to get the stars on this gameboard, you will need to navigate through 
the mysterious halls of King Boo's Haunted Mansion. You have no idea where the 
halls lead, there is no map except for the places you've already ventured in, 
and some rooms lead to dead ends (sending you back to the start). However, once 
you reach King Boo he will give you a star for 10 coins.

Special squares in this level:

DK Space- Donkey Kong will change the dead ends that send you to the start into 
areas where he will give you a star.

Bowser Space- If you have a star, he will steal it. If not, he will give you 10 
coins. Is it true? Does he have a sensitive side?

? Squares- Some have Piranha Plants which take 10 coins away from you, some 
have mirrors which move whichever player appears in the mirror to your 
position, some have treasure chests with pink ghosts which take money, some 
have treasure chests which give you money. It all depends. There are a lot of 
options here!

Lucky Squares- Land on this space and you will take a secret passage way 
(loaded with coins) directly to King Boo and his star where you will have to 
trade 10 coins.

Chump Charity- Dart Board.

Notes: Learn from your competitors mistakes on this level. King Boo will 
relocate (as far as I know he never relocates to the same room he's been found 
in to trick you) after the first star is given away. Don't waste time checking 
back in the same room. Make sure to take as many coins away from your opponents 
as you can. If they find a King Boo room and don't have enough coins, they'll 
get sent back to the start and you'll then know where he is located.


                        4.4 Shy Guy's Perplex Express

The star for this level is located at the front of the train with the Shy Guys. 
You will need to trade 20 coins for a star. 

Special squares in this level:

DK Space- If you reach DK at the front of the train first, he'll give you a 
star.

Bowser Space- If you reach Bowser first, he'll take a star or coins.

Lucky Space- You'll take a secret passage at a train station where you will get 
free coins and a free star (like most Lucky Spaces).

? Space- One space asks you to identify where Mowz is. Make sure you pay 
attention to where he is so you can answer this question. Another either sucks 
you down into the kitchen, or pushes you out of the top of the kitchen.

Chump Charity- Dart Board.

Notes: Make sure you pay attention to where the people in the background are so 
if you land on the ? Space where you have to tell them where you last saw 
someone, you'll be able to answer them.


                         4.5 Koopa's Tycoon Town

This is a great gameboard. It reminds me of Monopoly. You will have to invest 
coins in hotels. Each hotel you own gives you a star. However, if you invest a 
certain amount of coins into a hotel, the hotel can be upgraded to a 2-star 
hotel, giving the owner 2 stars instead of one. 20 coins for a 2-star hotel, 50 
coins for a 3-star hotel, and 100 coins for a 4-star hotel. You can steal 
hotels from another player as long as you invest atleast one coin more than 
them.

Special squares in this level:

DK Space- DK will add 20 coins to any hotel you've already invested in.

Bowser Space- 

Lucky Space- You will be picked up in a car who will then drive you to an 
otherwise unaccessible hotel which will give you two stars for any investment 
amount.

? Space- Some give you 10 coins, some take coins from other people's 
investments and give them to you.

Chump Charity- Gives the last place player 30 coins and adds coin bags onto red 
spaces and 1 coin onto every other space. 

Notes: Try to win as many minigames as you can so you can get the most coins. 
Use a lot of coin-taking candy on your competitors!


                       4.5 Bowser's Warped Orbit

There are no star spaces in this one. Instead, you have to get down and dirty 
like Bowser would and steal stars from your opponents instead. Be sure to use a 
lot of Bowser/Bullet Candy!

Special squares in this level:

DK Space- DK will fly in and give you some free candy.

Bowser Space- Bowser will appear, stealing one of your stars.

Lucky Space- You will be taken to a secret part of the gameboard where you will 
get a bunch of coins and both Bowser and Bullet candy.

? Space- Some have Bowser change the direction of the board flow. Use this to 
your advantage as much as possible. Some have Magikoopa mix up all the candy 
and pass them out randomly. Another shoots you through a clear tube with 20 
coins in it to the other side of the board.

Chump Charity- Gives last place player one piece of Duelo Candy and puts money 
bags on red spaces and one coin on every other space.

Notes: Be wise with your Bowser/Bullet Candy. Bullet Candy is very helpful. 
Make sure you remember that the Bowser Candy doesn't let you travel as far as 
the Bullet Candy and there's always the chance you'll only move 2 spaces with 
it.

                                 5.5 Duel

In Duel Minigames, the winner gets the chance to dart for a prize that they 
will take from their competitor.

Shake It Up: Same as the 4 player minigame except only against one other 
person. Shake your can the fastest for 5 seconds in order to get the spray the 
highest.

You're the Bob-omb: You'll have to hit random switches until you find the one 
that blows up the enormous Bob-omb. This is all luck, ladies and gentlemen.

Attention Grabber: You will need to wave your Wii remote wildly trying to get 
the boat's attention before your competitor.

Blazing Lassos: You will need to charge up your lasso by swinging it around 
like a real cowboy until it glows. Once it's glowing you will throw it to grab 
a barrel which has a number on it. Flick your wrist back to get the barrel to 
come into your collection. The number printed on the barrel is how many points 
you'll get.

Wing and a Scare: You'll have to steer your aircraft through and around a bunch 
of obstacles, getting to the finish line first.

Lob to Rob: In this game you will have to shoot the mushrooms and avoid 
shooting the Goombas.

Pumper Cars: You will have to pump your Wii remote up and down as fast as you 
can in order to get your car to the end.

Cosmic Slalom: Navigate your ship through a tunnel around obstacles in order to 
get to the finish line first.

Lava Lobbers: You will aim with your Wii remote in order to shoot at your 
partner in the opposing minecart.

Loco Motives: This one can be difficult, so stay on your toes! Each player will 
have three trains to keep their eyes on. You will need to keep your train from 
popping your balloons by changing its direction once it gets close to the 
balloon by clicking on it with your pointer. Its light will flash when it gets 
really close, at which point you need to change the direction fast!

Specter Inspector: You will need to find 3 familiar characters hiding in the 
dark room.

Frozen Assets: You will need to kick or punch the icicles that fall in order to 
get the gems that are frozen inside.

Breakneck Building: Run through a series of mini-mini-challenges such as sawing 
a log in half or hammering a nail. Do these tasks faster than your opponent to 
win.

Surf's Way Up: You will need to fly through the point goals, making sure to 
avoid the x0 goals. Collect the most points and you'll win.

Balancing Act: Who knew you could balance on barrels like in the movies? Try to 
balance on a barrel while navigating through the course. Make it to the end 
first to win.

Ion the Prize: This one is one of my worst games. You'll have to tilt the 
sorter above you in order to get the purple and green blobs which are falling 
down into their correct containers.

Cardiators: You and your opponent will try to do the most damage to eachother 
through randomly choosing cards and hoping they have a high number of damage on 
them.

Rotation Station: You'll have to rotate the screen angle and get to the top of 
the tower as fast as you can.

Eyebrawl: Use your pointer to circle the eyeballs as fast as possible, 
eventually defeating them. (Much like how we run around the eyeballs to defeat 
them in Super Mario 64).

Settle it in Court: You will have to shoot baskets with the right timing.



                                 5.6 Battle

Battle Minigames collect money from each player and have all four players 
compete for the jackpot.

Saucer Swarm: You have to rotate your ship (your position is fixed) to shoot as 
many invaders as you can. If they reach your ship, they stun you causing you to 
lose shooting time. Whoever shoots the most keeps the most money.

Glacial Meltdown: You will have to knock around your opponents to get them off 
the ice. An extra factor is the Buzzy Beatles which you can also use to attack 
your foes. 

Aim of the Game: A bunch of cards (each with a different value) will fall from 
the top of the screen. Shoot the highest valued cards and get the most points 
to win. Don't hit the x0 cards or they'll make your overall score 0. You can 
only shoot 5 cards. 

Snipe for the Picking: You have to shoot the target zones with the high 
numbers. Get the biggest score and you'll win. Pay attention because the 
biggest number isn't always in the middle!

Cut from the Team: This is a stressful game. You will each take turns cutting 
wires that may or may not spring you out of the game. It's all luck here, 
ladies and gentlemen!
