Candy

Candies are the main items in Mario Party 8. Like Orbs and capsules before it, Candies allow players to alter the gameplay, via stealing coins, extra dice blocks, etc. Unlike Orbs, Candies can only be used on the player, not opponents, or spaces for that matter. There are fourteen different pieces that come in four different colors. Each Color was a Categorization, telling what each candy does. Red affected Dice blocks. Yellow affects gameplay while moving.
