The player must "hit" a Dice Block and advance the number of spaces it shows. A Dice Block rolls from the numbers 1–10 (1–6 from ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' up until ''[[Super Mario Party]]''), or 1–5 when a [[Poison Mushroom]] or [[Slowgo Candy]] is active. In addition to moving the players, the blocks are also used to determine the turn order of the game before it starts: Each player hits a Dice Block, and whoever rolls the highest number goes first, while the player who rolls the lowest number goes last. Dice Blocks also appear in various [[minigame]]s with various functions. At the end of the game, if there is a tie at any position, a Dice Block roll is used to break the tie. Since ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', though, the tiebreaker is done only for the first-place players. If the score is tied at the end of the minigame in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', then a Dice Block tiebreaker determines the final results for that minigame. | ||
There is also a volleyball version of the block in the ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' minigame [[Beach Volleyball (Mario Party 5)|Beach Volleyball]], where teams can get up to six [[point]]s if the ball lands in the sand. | There is also a volleyball version of the block in the ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' minigame [[Beach Volleyball (Mario Party 5)|Beach Volleyball]], where teams can get up to six [[point]]s if the ball lands in the sand. | ||

*'''Green Block:''' After the player uses a Slowgo Candy in ''Mario Party 8'', the block slows down and the player hits a slower Dice Block with the numbers 1–5.

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', if the player lands on a [[Dice Space]], they can roll again with a green-colored Dice Block instead of a blue one as it normally is (rolling in ''Mario Party Advance'' costs one Mushroom). | *'''Green Block:''' After the player uses a Slowgo Candy in ''Mario Party 8'', the block slows down and the player hits a slower Dice Block with the numbers 1–5.
