- “Hungry Piranha Plants! Deep-rooted secrets! Paths that branch off to danger! You'll tangle with all that and more in DK's Treetop Temple! Observe yonder Star! Be the first to reach the Star Space with 20 coins to pocket that prize! The Star Space will then move to a new spot. Maybe closer to you! Or farther! Who can say?! Now witness a legendary jungle contraption: the DK Barrel Cannon! If you pay 5 coins, it'll blast you across the board! Where exactly? Who knows?! And anytime you find Candy lying around, snatch it up! If you can't find some... Head to the nearest Candy Shop and load up on the sweet stuff! What's all the hubbub about Candy? You can gulp a piece at the start of your turn to mess with competitors! And to change your fate!”
- —MC Ballyhoo, Mario Party 8
DK's Treetop Temple is a board in Mario Party 8. It is a multi-leveled, jungle-themed board with a giant statue of Donkey Kong, several Barrel Cannons, a mesh wall, bouncy leaves, elevators shaped like barrels, and two Barrel Cannons on the lower paths where players can pay five Coins to be launched higher. The shops on this board are run by Spear Guys. Unlike other boards of the game, DK's Treetop Temple has the typical format of paying twenty coins at the Star Space before it relocates elsewhere, though Bowser also does this if one lands on the Bowser Space. The DK Space causes Donkey Kong to launch the player to the Star Space. There is a Lucky Space at the statue that takes the player to a hidden path with Blue Spaces and a Star at the end.
If a player lands on a Green Space in the middle of the board, Ukikis arrive on barrels to run players over with, a la Donkey Kong, also taking away coins during the Last 5 Turns. The Ukikis in the Star Battle Arena roll over characters directly, taking away ten Coins. The Green Space next to the water slide causes players to ride it lower and collect coins along the way. The player loses ten Coins upon landing on either of the three Green Spaces in front of the Piranha Plants. There is a Green Space in front of Spear Guy platforms where a Spear Guy arrives to take a candy in exchange for coins, or just gives them five coins if they have no candies.
The goal in Star Battle Arena is to obtain two Stars.
