The Dice Block from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', granting stronger arm attacks, while [[Mario]]'s Dice Block from ''Super Mario Party'' appears as a support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', allowing the user to escape grabs more easily. The spirit was originally exclusive to the "Oh Yeah! Mario Time!" spirit event that ran from December 27, 2018, to January 1, 2019, but was later made obtainable from the Spirit Board and Vault Shop following the version 2.0.0 update released on January 30, 2019. | The Dice Block from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros.

To hit a Dice Block, the player needs to press {{button|A}} in most installments. In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', the player can also use the [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Microphone|Mic]] to hit the block. In ''Mario Party 8'', {{button|wii|Wiimote}} is swung upwards. In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', {{button|ds|Stylus}} can also be used to tap the block. In ''Mario Party: Island Tour'', {{button|3ds|stylus}} is used to roll the block from the bottom screen up to the game screen (except for [[Kamek's Carpet Ride]] and [[Shy Guy's Shuffle City]], which use cards to move instead of | To hit a Dice Block, the player needs to press {{button|A}} in most installments.

In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Dice Blocks are rolled differently in certain game modes; in [[Mario Party 10#Bowser Party|Bowser Party]], [[Bowser Dice Block]]s are rolled by shaking {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} while holding {{button|wiiu|ZL}} and {{button|wiiu|ZR}}, whereas in [[Mario Party 10#amiibo Party|amiibo Party]], Dice Blocks are rolled by lifting the amiibo from the NFC reader of {{button|wiiu|GamePad}}. Normally whenever a character hits a Dice Block, they [[jump]] up and [[punch]] it with their right hand. Some characters, such as [[Waluigi]] and [[Donkey Kong]], do not jump when they hit the Dice Block, while other characters, such as [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] (as well as [[Yoshi]] in the earlier titles), jump and hit it with their heads. | ||
