This page will serve as a documentation of my finding in the technical details of Mario Party 9.

4 Turns Forced Minigame
Have you landed on a Special Dice Space while in a minigame drystreak, and after the special dice, it will pop a minigame for you to play? Does it feels like it is always like that? Turns out you are not crazy!
The game stores the current turn number and last minigame turn number. After the Dice Block gift box is opened, it checks whether (current turn number - last minigame turn) is greater than 4. If it is, a minigame will be triggered. I guess this is to mimic the old Mario Party where there is a minigame after all 4 players took their turn.
The Rigged Roulette
The result of Spin Spaces and Bowser Spaces roulette is predetermined. That is, no matter when you press the A butyon, it will always select the same event.
