'''DK Spaces''' are [[Space (Mario Party series)|spaces]] in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, in which if a [[List of characters|character]] lands on one, [[Donkey Kong]] will appear and do many good things ([[Donkey Kong]] shows up and causes a positive effect). DK Spaces mainly serve as a counter to [[Bowser Space]]s. Many show either Donkey Kong's mugshot (facing sideways or directly forwards) or the DK Symbol.

The space first appears in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', which is also the first ''Mario Party'' game where Donkey Kong is no longer a playable character. The space is always placed on a random spot on the board and landing on it made Donkey Kong do one of three events:

*'''DK Bonus''': Donkey Kong lets the player roll a [[Dice Block]] to get coins equal to the amount shown.

*'''DK Minigame''': All players participate in a [[Minigame]] where they collect [[banana]]s. At the end, Donkey Kong gives everyone [[coin]]s equal to the amount of bananas that they got by once, twice, or even thrice.

*'''DK Roulette''': Donkey Kong and the player roll a Dice Block. If the player rolls a higher number, Donkey Kong will give them a free [[Power Star|Star]]. If the player rolls higher and wins, Donkey Kong gives them a free star; if they roll lower or if Donkey Kong gets a "10" (which is an automatic loss), they lose and get nothing.

On Story Mode, if [[Koopa Kid]] lands on a DK Space, Donkey Kong reduces Koopa Kid's coins by half. Then if the player lands on the DK Space, Donkey Kong gives the coins that he stole from Koopa Kid to the player.

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', more DK Spaces are placed on the board, but they are only around during the day, as they are replaced with Bowser Spaces at night. The DK Roulette event has been removed, however, the player now has a chance of gaining a Star from the DK Bonus event. The DK Bonus now involves a Dice Block shaped like a barrel called a "Dice Barrel", and in addition to displaying a Star, the event has a higher coin output in general.

In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', the bonus and roulette events are gone. Players can only earn their prizes from the DK Spaces by minigames alone. In this game, there are two types of Minigames — single-player and multiplayer. In single-player, players have to beat Donkey Kong to the goal in order to earn 10 coins, 20 coins, 30 coins, or even a Star. Multiplayer works the same as it did in the last two Mario Parties.

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', whenever someone lands on the space, Donkey Kong appears to do something helpful, with a different method for each board, usually the opposite of whatever that board's Bowser Space will do. In this game, the DK Space alternates with the Bowser Space, meaning that when one lands on the DK Space, after the event is over, it will be replaced with a Bowser Space and vice-versa. Also, the shape of the space is different with each board, including the tutorial. Donkey Kong does the following on each board.

*'''[[DK's Treetop Temple]]''': Tosses the player directly to the Star.

*'''[[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]]''': Tells the player to deposit 5 coins into a [[DK Barrel|DK barrel]]. The player then shakes the barrel as much as they can within a few seconds to earn back more coins (the player can earn back 11 to 25 coins). If the player has no coins, Donkey Kong hands them 10 coins.  

*'''[[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]]''': Covers all of the pitfalls with special platforms. The first player to reach a pitfall will receive a free Star from Donkey Kong before being sent back to the Start. The platforms will also disappear once [[King Boo]] shuffles the house, or whenever someone lands on a Bowser Space.

*'''[[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]]''': Donkey Kong's [[Barrel Train (Mario Party 8)|Barrel Train]] will overtake the current locomotive. Donkey Kong will then give a free Star to the first player that reaches him (He doubles the player's coin total in [[Star Battle Arena]]) and then leaves. The Barrel Train will also leave if someone lands on a Bowser Space.

*'''[[Koopa's Tycoon Town]]''': Deposits 20 coins into one of the five main hotels on the player's behalf. (Hint: In [[Star Battle Arena]], this is great for two stars because the player needs to get 4 stars. When they land on the DK Space, Donkey Kong deposits 20 coins into the hotel. Then they get two stars and they are half way to the board goal.).

*'''[[Bowser's Warped Orbit]]''': Gives the player a free star (a free piece of candy in [[Star Battle Arena]]).
