The '''Creepy Dice Block''', formerly known as the '''Cursed Dice Block''', is a special [[Dice Block]] in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'']] series that negatively impacts the number of spaces a player can advance on a [[Board (Mario Party series)|board]].

==History==
===''Mario Party: Star Rush''===
[[File:MPSR Cursed Dice Block.png|frame|left]]
The item debuts in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', appearing in [[World 2-2 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 2-2]] and [[World 2-3 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 2-3]]. Here, it comes from obtaining a false duplicate of a character on the map in Toad Scramble, which is actually a [[Peepa]] in disguise. The Peepa then curses the party with a Dice Block that either does nothing (0) or subtracts  (-1) from the player's total roll. The Peepa cannot be selected, and it eventually disappears after a set period of time.

===''Super Mario Party''===
A similar Dice Block, called Dicey Dice Block, appears in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', albeit with a few differences: it is rolled by a [[Bob-omb]] instead of a Peepa, and it has three faces with the number 0 and three with the number -1, instead of having two of the former and four of the latter.

===''Mario Party Superstars''===
The Cursed Dice Block returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' as an item. In this game, it functions almost identically to the [[Cursed Mushroom|Poison Mushroom]] (known in later games as the Cursed Mushroom) in its ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' appearance. When used, the player is allowed to choose a single player as their target (including themselves). The target of the Cursed Dice Block has their potential roll reduced to 1 to 3 the next time they roll the Dice Block, much to their dismay while the character who targeted the player laughs. Players can break the curse by using a [[Mushroom]], [[Double Dice]], [[Triple Dice]], or [[Custom Dice Block]]. On [[Yoshi's Tropical Island]] and [[Peach's Birthday Cake]], [[Bowser]] will sometimes sell a Cursed Dice Block to any player that passes him at a price much higher than the price of 3 coins it sells for at the shop.

===''Super Mario Party Jamboree''===
The Cursed Dice Block, renamed the Creepy Dice Block, returns in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', functioning identically to how it does in ''Mario Party Superstars''. It is commonly found within [[Kamek]]'s [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|shops]], but never [[Koopa Troopa]]'s shops. It also has two variants that are more potent, the [[Creepy Dice Block Tickets]] and the [[Super Creepy Dice]].

If Pro Rules are being played, a player can have a Creepy Dice Block as one of their starting items.
