The Sluggish 'Shroom Orb

The Slow 'Shroom Orb (Sluggish 'Shroom Orb in Mario Party 6) is an Orb that contains a light-blue Mushroom. It appears in both Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7. When used, the Slow 'Shroom Orb slows down the speed of the Dice Block tremendously and rolls the numbers in ascending order and resetting after 10 (or 6 during Solo Mode in Mario Party 6), allowing players to choose any number from 1 through 10 (or 6) to roll. Players do this by hitting A Button when the number that precedes the desired outcome is shown on the Dice Block. For example, if a player wants to get a three, then the player hits A Button when the Dice Block shows a two. They are one of the few Orbs used in the Solo Mode in Mario Party 6.

This item has a similar effect to the Slowgo Candy from Mario Party 8 and the Slow Dice Block from Mario Party 9, though, likely due to the game-warping versatility the Slow 'Shroom Orb offers, the Slowgo Candy reduces the available numbers from 1 through 10 to 1 through 5. Since the Slow 'Shroom Orb essentially allows the player to choose the number that they would like to roll, it is also functionally similar to the Custom Dice Block introduced in Mario Party: Island Tour, though the latter item does not require the player to time hitting the Dice Block.
