Meanwhile, the board's outer ring gives players the chance to ride chomps and potentially steal stars, but they have to open themselves up to attack in order to take this chance in the first place.

The inner paths of the board are safe from Chain Chomps, but they also don't have any chomps for the player to ride. This drastic difference from normal gameplay requires players to balance offense and defense. Instead, players have to pay to ride Chain Chomps around the board, and use them to steal stars from opponents that they pass along the way. In Mario Party 6's Snowflake Lake, every player starts with 5 stars, and there are no Star Spaces on the board. However, one board in Mario Party 6 shook up this formula and used it to create a fun experience that could let players level up fast in Mario Party Superstars while employing an entirely new kind of strategy. Players traverse a board in an attempt to track down Star Spaces and collect more stars than their opponents. The format of Mario Party has remained unchanged for almost the series' entire run.
