The Double Dice (formerly known as the Double Dice Set and Double Dice Block) is an item in the Mario Party series. It is similar to the Mushroom, Mushroom Orb, and Twice Candy, allowing the user to roll two Dice Blocks (2-20 spaces). It debuts in Mario Party DS.
History[edit]
Mario Party DS[edit]
It costs three coins to buy the Double Dice Set at an item shop in Mario Party DS. Rolling the same pair of numbers gives 10 coins, except 7's, which give 30 coins.
Mario Party 10[edit]
The Double Dice Block can appear from landing on a Special Dice Block Space in Mario Party 10. It can only roll between 1 and 6, like regular Dice Blocks.
Mario Party: Star Rush / Mario Party: The Top 100[edit]
The Double Dice works similarly in Mario Party: Star Rush and Mario Party: The Top 100 to previous games, and it is the default item for amiibo characters without Mario Party 10 data.
Mario Party Superstars[edit]
The Double Double retains its function in Mario Party Superstars from Mario Party DS, except two "7's" are worth only 10 coins. The Double Dice costs 5 coins. It is not available in the forest shop of Woody Woods.
Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]
The Double Dice is mostly the same in Super Mario Party Jamboree as the previous game. It costs 5 coins to buy at Koopa's Shop. The game adds the Payday Double Dice, which gives a number of coins matching the player's roll. On Party Rules during the Homestretch, there is an option which gives all four players a Double Dice.
If Pro Rules are being played, a player can choose to get Double Dice if they land on a Lucky Space.
Probabilities[edit]
The following is a table for the probability of every roll with a Double Dice:
| Possible roll | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability to roll number | 1% | 2% | 3% | 4% | 5% | 6% | 7% | 8% | 9% | 10% | 9% | 8% | 7% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 3% | 2% | 1% |
| Probability to roll number or higher | 100% | 99% | 97% | 94% | 90% | 85% | 79% | 72% | 64% | 55% | 45% | 36% | 28% | 21% | 15% | 10% | 6% | 3% | 1% |
As Mario Party 10, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party: Star Rush have 1-6 Dice Blocks, their probabilities are different, as shown below:
| Possible roll | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability to roll number | 2.7% | 5.5% | 8.3% | 11.1% | 13.8% | 16.6% | 13.8% | 11.1% | 8.3% | 5.5% | 2.7% |
| Probability to roll number or higher | 100% | 97.2% | 91.6% | 83.3% | 72.2% | 58.3% | 41.6% | 27.7% | 16.7% | 8.3% | 2.7% |
