DK Space
DK Spaces are spaces in the Mario Party series, where if a character lands on one, Donkey Kong will appear and do many good things. The space first appeared in Mario Party 5, as that was the first game where Donkey Kong was no longer a playable character. The space was always placed on a random spot on the board, and landing on it made DK do one of three events:
- DK Mini-Game: All players participated in a Mini-Game, where they collected bananas. At the end, DK gave everyone coins equal to the amount of bananas they got by one, two, or even three times.
- DK Bonus: DK let the player roll a Dice Block in the form of a barrel to get coins equal to the amount shown.
- DK Roulette: DK and the player rolled a Dice Block. If the player rolled a higher number, DK gave them a Star.
In Mario Party 6, there were more of them on the boards, but they were only around during the day, as they were replaced with Bowser Spaces at night. The events were the same, except that the DK Roulette was removed, as the DK Bonus had the possibility to get a Star as well.
In Mario Party 7, the bonus and roulette events were gone. Players had to earn their prizes by Mini-Games alone. There were two types of Mini-Games, however – single-player and mulitiplayer. In single-player, players had to beat Donkey Kong to the goal to earn 20 coins, 30 coins, or even a Star. Multiplayer was the same as the last two games.
In Mario Party 8, whenever someone landed on the space, DK appeared to help them out in all sorts of ways in order to bring the player closer to winning the game. But after the event was over, all DK Spaces on the board became Bowser Spaces (also, the shape of the space was different with each board, including the tutorial).
