The Dice Block is an item that appeared in all Mario Party series titles, having debuted in Mario Party. By hitting the floating block above the player, he/she rolls the dice to allow them to move forward anywhere from one to ten spaces (up to twenty if a Mushroom is used, thirty if a Super Mushroom Capsule is used and five if a Cursed Mushroom Capsule/Slowgo Candy is used). Depending on which Mario Party game is played, the design changes.
Description[]
The Dice Block would allow any player to go forward the number of spaces rolled. This item not only lets the player move forward, it also allows various other options such as deciding the order of play at the beginning of the game, breaking ties in minigames, and is sometimes used in some board events.
In Mario Party 8, the Dice Block comes in four colors: blue, red, golden yellow and green. Super Mario Party introduces Character Dice Blocks that are unique to each playable character.
