When it came to _Mario Party DS_ as a child, I immediately turned off the DS. In my mind, all of my brain cells evacuated and ran for the hills and never played it; that was the time I went from San Jose, CA, to Santa Ana, CA, for possibly the first time. To this day, it haunts me as if it's the most scariest thing I ever experienced and heard in my entire life.
Interestingly enough, I think the reason why it doesn't count as -1 star in Jamboree is because it's actually just a cardboard cut-out version of a Ztar.
If you guys are wondering about the one on the thumbnail that isn't in the video, it's an unused model of a Ztar from Mario Party 8. It's possible that Bowsee would've given you one on the boards where he steals a star, plus there was even an usused fanfare which sounds like the You Got A Star fanfare, but sounding more discouraging if anything, most likely meant to play when you would've gotten a Ztar.
It would've been great, if there was a boss fight against a real Ztar (that isn't a cardboard cutout), which is basically a (sort of) remaster of Stardust Showdown
Dude! Same! The worst part is. I had no idea this thing existed as a kid. So when it happened in Mario party DS. I was like. What the frick is that thing?!
I’ll always remember the first time seeing a Ztar in Mario Party DS. I was playing story mode and I was so pissed off when a computer got a star, landed on Coin Space (one of those item hex’s.) Then gets a hidden block all in one turn. It caught me completely off guard and my heart rate shot up when I saw it was a Ztar in the block. It’s still the only time I’ve ever seen a Ztar in Mario Party DS. I think it’s also one of the real reasons I get a very unsettling feeling whenever I go back to play Mario Party DS to this day.
It seemed like the ztar was originally intended to be just a fake star from Bowser. The later games started shifting more to it being a dark or evil star, but at least Mario Party Jamboree got the idea.
The music from getting it in mp2 is scary as hell for how distorted and evil it sounds. I just got mp2 on the switch and landed on the bowser bank on bowser land without coins. I was shocked to learn the took my star as payment if I don’t have coins
Mario Party DS was my first game and I had experienced getting a Ztar before. Didn't know it existed in other games prior to that as well, though, other than Mario Party 9 and 10, even though they're Mini Ztars.
@@christianwright7581 in mario party 1&2 they also didn't subtract a star, from which that board came from so it's more faithful to the original (but it's only 20 instead of 40 coins now) as it's just to waste your coins.
I've played the crap out of so many of these games, but this video made me realize that there are so many side modes in Mario Party that I've never tried. Got me seeing footage in games that I've played for over 20 years that I've never seen before.
0:15 Gohan(Geo): hey what's this, huh wait it's... 1:55 rowdy: duh hey everybody, welcome to da funky funny room Ace: yeah, we've got all the best games Spike: ignore that ztar
When someone in Jamboree gets a Ztar, I like trolling them with the "Congrats!" sticker, lol. Obviously, though, it is simply a joke. No need to take Mario Party seriously, after all.
The Ztar just feels like a normal counter artifact to the (Power) Stars that I like when it's brought up in the spin-offs (as much as I would want it in the mainline). Like how Super Mario 64 influenced the Coin/Star dynamic, I think the Ztar inspired the Dark Star in Mario & Luigi. I think many Mario fanfics that represent "negative celestial energy" were based on the Ztar. Interestingly the first "negative Star" actually appeared in Super Mario RPG with a big dark star and having angry eyes. In terms of pronunciation I usually call it "zi-tar" like the instrument sitar so nice to hear it's very similar. I figured it has to be close to the sound of what a corrupted Star sounds like. Funny in Jamboree it's only a cardboard, as some speculate it isn't a strong Ztar.
I used to be scared of Ztars when I first saw them on a Mario party 9 playthrough vid back then. As of now, I’m thinking: I was scared of a purple star?
I cannot stand these things because it hurts a lot since they steal stars from you. In my experience, I felt Mario Party 5 was the one that really did Ztars with the damage. I remember Card Party when you think you get a Star, but end up with the Ztar instead.
I had an ally and simply crossed bowser and he stole two stars I quit the online game after spamming stickers. Thing I don’t like about online is just the rules cannot be changed. I don’t always want to play 15 turns I want 10 sometimes. Also bonus stars are handicaps just because someone hit a space doesn’t mean they should win for not landing anything and not spending their coins. But Ik that’s how they work

hahaha stupid kiddo
I think I only saw the Ztar one time in my tons of hours mario party ds a kid and that shit was SCARY! "IS MY GAME LIKE A FREAKING CREEPYPASTAAA????"
SAME HERE, IT WAS TOO SCARY
how scary is that? i immediately restarted a level even thought i had ZERO Stars at the moment
Zoomers are afraid of everything lol
It’s so nice that jamboree showed us how to pronounce it 🤣🤣
Frrrr
So it was a Ze-tar. Rhymes with Guitar.
I had a bunch of problems saying Ztar until I realized its just Z-tar
Same, I thought it was pronounced like "Czar"
I thought it was z-star😐
It can be star when you replace the S on Z
Almost sounds like guitar too
Yea, took me a while to realize it wasn't "zedstar" 😂

You say that’s a dumb name for a mechanic, but it’s not funny when it happens to you.
How is it that I find you in almost every video I watch?

Can't believe they brought back Ztars because of the Party Crashers!!! :3
It would've been great, if there was a boss fight against a real Ztar (that isn't a cardboard cutout), which is basically a (sort of) remaster of Stardust Showdown
great idea
You just reminded me of a giant Ztar from SMG4
That’s a cool Idea. We never had a battle with a star since 3.
@@kodawanberg6887the one with the toad personality
This thing terrified me in Mario Party DS.
Same, it was the music for me; it coming out of a random block and not having any idea what happened as a kid was crazy
Dude! Same! The worst part is. I had no idea this thing existed as a kid. So when it happened in Mario party DS. I was like. What the frick is that thing?!
@@MixmasterCornbom
Me too
Same. Especially when you actually found a Hidden Block!
It's nice that it returned as a prop in Super Mario Party Jamboree.
Its a good thing, since it doesn’t lose you a star.
6:14 If you listen closely, you can hear a Canadian cursing like a sailor.
I love how disappointed the narrator is in jamboree.
I did not know of the Ztar until I started watching the Party Crashers-
This is a cool video!
ProtonJon's worst luck with getting these.
I can still hear his pure rage to this day, along with *VIDEO FEED ENDED*
Don’t forget Tim getting two. One on Toadette’s music room. And the other on DK’s Stone statue.
Lol ikr
Yeah. Losing the 2 stars was still hurting.
The old Bowser dance and his French girl pose always makes me laugh
French girl pose? You mean his pose in Mario Party 3?

I WAS WAITING FOR IT!! YEEEEEES
OMG I GET IT

"You can't kill me, I'm immortal" -Ztar probably
(if you get the reference, have a REAL star)
I think I did
The only speaking ztar I know is from smg4, but I'm not sure I remember that line
A lot of people say this if they’re immortal so I don’t get one
Ztar is basically a star but evil and opposite
If it's evil and opposite that means it's good
@@indominusrex2859 I know, and it may also lose a star if you have in the game
Just like the Reference of Fairly Odd Parents which is… Foop, the evil fairy Baby is basically Poof but evil and Opposite
Yes, you're right! Very good! ⭐
It’s true. It says on the DS Description.
The music from getting it in mp2 is scary as hell for how distorted and evil it sounds. I just got mp2 on the switch and landed on the bowser bank on bowser land without coins. I was shocked to learn the took my star as payment if I don’t have coins
Never knew it existed in Mario Party DS and I played it a ton as a kid
Mario Party DS was my first game and I had experienced getting a Ztar before.
Didn't know it existed in other games prior to that as well, though, other than Mario Party 9 and 10, even though they're Mini Ztars.
and it's the worst one becuase it apears with a hidden block
Same. It scared me every time I get it!
Idk how I didn’t get it maybe I never played on that map. I played with my cousins a lot.
I had flashbacks from getting a Ztar in the Mario Party DS!
oh boy i love the party crashers
3:15 I personally like the Card Party reveal and fanfare for it the most out of all its appearances.
Omg party crushers reference
They're in Jamboree? Uh Oh
uh oh indeed
Good news though, it's a fake made of cardboard, meaning it won't subtract a Star if you have one.
@@christianwright7581just like in the og (albiet its not a 40 coin scam)

What was that for Mario Party 8? Were ztar's cut from the game and you just found the music for it?
Yes
@@NintenUnity Oh wow that’s cool! I had no idea.
I've played the crap out of so many of these games, but this video made me realize that there are so many side modes in Mario Party that I've never tried. Got me seeing footage in games that I've played for over 20 years that I've never seen before.

1:55 rowdy: duh hey everybody, welcome to da funky funny room
Ace: yeah, we've got all the best games
Spike: ignore that ztar
The first two games are nostalgia. I wish Nintendo bring these to the main series rather than Mario Party. They would make a nasty power-down item.
fun fact: the ztar in jamboree is a carboard
Like we didnt ever knew this
A real ztar would take one star away from you in the modern era of MP games; the cardboard one doesn’t do anything
@@ng_canadian i know
you got a sitar

Basically my childhood nightmare back when I played MPDS in 2008

I know a certain Rosalina who has a dark history with Ztar.
It was a horrible experience.
Here comes the classic SMG4 fans!
Ahhh, the classic arcs...
CANNNOOOOONNNN PE***********
Not as many as you'd think

Hellooo Party Crashers Community. Grab your ticket and drop a refrence in the video comment section.
This has vibes of Link getting Rupoors 😂
You Got a Ztar...
bummer
“I love ztars,when i prank them with it”
-Bowser
lmao how they dance in mp jamboree but still get a ztar
ProtonJon is getting PTSD from this
Ztar is shining like some kind of mean oil slick...
I.e that thing you always see wanted in the mainline 3D Mario platformers for some reason.
I used to be scared of Ztars when I first saw them on a Mario party 9 playthrough vid back then. As of now, I’m thinking: I was scared of a purple star?
There's also a Dark Star (or Ztar) on Bowser's Inside Story (M&L Series).
These ztars from Mario party ds gave me so many nightmares as a child
Great video 😁
oh no, a "zuh-tar!" NO IT'S NOT ITS A "Z-STAR" GAMEEEEEE

Oh NO WAY 😱😱😱 PARTY CRASHERS REFERENCE
The ones from Mario Party 9 and 10 are not technically a Ztar considering the normal ones in those games are not a a Super Star either...
The games call them "Mini Ztar"
@@NintenUnity yeah that's what I meant. they're a dark equivalence of the mini stars not the Super Stars!
@@BK2410 Exactly.
Forgotten villain from video games.
I sometimes wonder if the Dark Star from Bowser's Inside Story was inspired by these "Ztars".
I wonder why the Ztar never returned in Mario Party 8 and yet had an unused theme.
Ah yes dark star's long lost twin brother
...Party Crashers ref- 💥
i didn't know Bowser liked Levantine cuisine
Can you make a video for Save data Delete animations, updates to 2024 for previous videos?
I love all the people sharing their trauma in MP DS because of this thing and let me join you lol
Here in latín spanish just got named as Negative Star.
Wish was something dumb as Eztreya (Star in spanish is Estrella)
So footage from MP8? Is that an unused Soundtrack then?
Ive never seen a ztar in ds how did you do that? Also how tf you get 80 spaces?
It's kind of weird that the Dark Star attack from Mario RPG is not a Ztar
Finally! People will know my name!
25 years later, we learned it's pronounced Z'tar and not zzztar
mario aprt 1 is 40 for a ztar and now in the super mario party jambore is 20!? FUCK!!!
I had an ally and simply crossed bowser and he stole two stars I quit the online game after spamming stickers. Thing I don’t like about online is just the rules cannot be changed.

Wait, "Za tar?" Like, it rhymes with guitar? 😆
A turned off Star is not a Ztar (I’m talking about the minigame with the cart at the beginning)
What about the dark star in Bowser’s Inside Story?
6:10 WHY YOU GOT 88 Steps
Hidden block ztars are evil
Wait so did Mario part 8 didn’t have a ztar in the game
Party Crashers Reference???
ZORAXIS STAR
I thought it was Z-Star
6:10, how the heck can Mario move with 89 steps
Some kind of cheat to help search for hidden ztar blocks, if I had to guess.
@@RaceBandit or a TAS programm 🧐
What does a ztar even tho i never got one
