A '''Dice Block''' is a [[block]] in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] that determines how many [[space (Mario Party series)|space]]s a character must move. 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 rolled the highest number goes first, while the player who rolled 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 will determine the final results for that minigame.
