The Triple Dice is an item that appears in the Mario Party series. When used, it allows the player to roll three Dice Blocks (3-30 spaces) for the turn, adding the results together to determine their roll, similarly to the effect of the Golden Mushroom from Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 3.

History

Mario Party DS

Item-Triple.png

The Triple Dice first appeared in Mario Party DS under the name Triple Dice Set. It can be purchased from Item Shops and usually starts appearing in shops around the fifth turn. In this game, rolling three matching numbers with this item grants the player 20 coins, or 50 coins for three matching "7's".

Mario Party Superstars

The Triple Dice reappears in Mario Party Superstars, where it can be purchased from Item Shops on most boards coins usually starting from midway through the game. Its effects are largely unchanged from Mario Party DS.

Super Mario Party Jamboree

The Triple Dice returns in Super Mario Party Jamboree with the same function as it had in Mario Party Superstars. A stronger variant, known as Payday Triple Dice, also exists, and works just like Triple Dice, except that the player also receives the number of coins equivalent to the total roll shown.

If the player rolls the same number on all three dice, they earn the "Luck's Favorite Pupil" achievement.
