Slow Block
A Slow Block

A Slow Block is an orange Dice Block that appears in Mario Party. It is bought at the Mushroom Shop for 100 coins. A Slow Block resembles the yellow blocks of Super Mario 64 but with a number on each surface instead. It is the opposite of the Speed Block, which rolls an 8, 9, or 10, since when it appears on a player's turn, the player can roll only a 1, 2, or 3. Poison Mushrooms have a similar effect in Mario Party 3.

A Slow Block has a four on the top of the die, even though it allows the player to roll only a 1, 2, or 3. This appears to be due to its artwork being a recolor of the artwork for the Plus Block and Minus Block.
