DK's Treetop Temple

"Hungry Piranha Plants! Deep-rooted secrets! Paths that branch off to danger! You'll tangle with all that and more in DK's Treetop Temple!"

- MC Ballyhoo

DK's Treetop Temple is a board in Mario Party 8. This is the second board that belongs to Donkey Kong with DK's Jungle Adventure as the first, DK's Stone Statue as the third and DK's Jungle Ruins as the fourth, and it has a giant DK Statue in the middle. The shops in this board are run by Spear Guys.

It is a multi-leveled, jungle-themed board that features barrel-shaped elevators, a mech wall, bouncy leaves, and DK's Barrel Cannons. When someone stops near the cannon, he or she will will have the choice of paying five Coins to be fired sky-high to a landing pad, often within reach of a Star. There is also a Lucky Space in front of the DK statue, where it will take the player to a secret path behind the board with three Coins on every space, and a Star at the end. This is the only board in the game that follows the traditional conditions of the Mario Party series to trade coins for a star since the first in the Mario Party (series); Mario Party. Players in this board had to get to the Star Space and trade twenty Coins to get the Star, after which the Star Space would move to another location on the board, and then the process would repeat.

Landing on a DK Space makes Donkey Kong appear; he will toss the player all the way to the Star Space, although they still will have to trade 20 coins for it, much like the Magic Lamp in Mario Party 4, the Wiggler Capsule in Mario Party 5, and the Flutter Orb in Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7. Landing on a Bowser Space makes Bowser appear and move the Star to a different location.

Landing on the Green Spaces in the middle of the board made Ukikis appear on barrels to run players that are in their path off course. In the Star Battle Arena, they will roll right over characters, causing them to lose ten Coins. Landing on the ? Space near the water slide makes players ride it to the lower part of the board, and to get some quick cash. The three ? Spaces in front of the Piranha Plants makes one of them chew on the player that landed there, resulting in them losing ten Coins. And the ? Space in front of Spear Guy platforms makes a Spear Guy appear to take one of the player's candies in exchange for some coins.

In Star Battle Arena, the winning conditions are to get two Stars in the traditional way (just like Grand Canal from Mario Party 7). The DK Spaces and Bowser Spaces retain their function from the Party Tent.

Trivia

 * The center section of this board is somewhat based on the original Donkey Kong.
 * Near the base of the board, next to one of the barrel cannons, is a dinosaur (a sauropod dinosaur) that looks very similar to the one from Dino Dino Jungle, a racetrack in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It may be the same dinosaur.
