In the [[Mario Party series|''Mario Party'' series]], the '''Dice Block''' determines how many spaces a character must move. The player must "hit" the Dice Block and advance as many spaces as the number it shows. The Dice Block rolls from the number 1-10 (1-6 from ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' to ''[[Mario Party 10]]''), or 1-5 when a cursed mushroom or [[Slowgo Candy]] is active. 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 minigames with various functions. At the end of the game, if there is a tie at any position, a Dice Block roll is used as a tiebreaker.

*'''Sluggish Block''': In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', after using the [[Slow 'Shroom Orb]] (In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', it is a [[Slowgo Candy]]), players can roll any number they want (in ''Mario Party 8'' it only shows the numbers 1-5) but they need to jump up one number before the one they want because they jump slowly.
