The '''Twice Candy''' Odds of rolling certain Numbers may seem to be evenly distributed like the regular dice; but this is a false notion that is only accurate for rolling two of the same number. The following is a table for the possibility of every roll with a '''Twice Candy''':
As the Twice Candy functions the same as [[Double Dice]], the probabilities of rolling certain numbers are the same.

Artwork of a Twice Candy

The Twice Candy is a red Candy in Mario Party 8. It has a picture of two red Dice Blocks on the wrapper and replaces the Mushroom Orb from past Mario Party games. When used (and after some special effects), it lets the player hit two Dice Blocks instead of one. Players get 10 coins if they get the same number on both Dice Blocks (30 coins for two 7s). Twice Candies can be hidden on every board (they are the only candy in the game to be found on all boards), and they typically cost five coins at Candy Shops. If the player has fewer than 20 coins and visits a Candy Shop, two or even all three of the candies to choose from may be a Twice Candy.
