“Let's see who goes first! Smack the Dice Block! Punch with your Wii Remote!”

MC Ballyhoo, Mario Party 8

In the Mario Party series, the group use the Dice Block to move around. It rolls from the number 1-10, 1-6 in the modern games, or 1-5 when a cursed mushroom is active. Since the game is on the screen, the player needs to use the Dice Block to see how many spaces the player goes. The players can't use an ordinary dice to move on the screen.

There is also a volleyball version of the block in Mario Party 5's version of Beach Volleyball where teams can get up to six points if the ball lands on the ground.

In addition to moving the players, the block is also used to determine the turn order of the game by getting the highest number. Dice Blocks also appear in various mini-games with various functions.

Use[]

To use it on the player's turn, the player needs to press the Button in most installments except for Mario Party 8, which requires the player to use the Wiimote to swing upwards, in Super Mario Party, which requires the player to make an upward punching motion with the Joy-Con, in Mario Party: Island Tour, where the player flings the dice block from the bottom screen to the top screen, and in Mario Party DS, where the player taps the Dice Dice Block on the bottom screen.
