Slow Dice Block
Template:Item-infobox Slow Dice Blocks are a type of special Dice Blocks appearing in Mario Party 9. They are exactly like normal Dice Blocks, but are completely gold in color, and the numbers on the die will scroll by slowly, allowing the user to roll a specific number easier. They work similarly to the Slow 'Shroom Orb and the Slowgo Candy, only difference being that the player should hit as soon as the number the player wants to get appears for the player to get the desired effect. However, shaking the Wii Remote will not only make this Dice Block Spin faster and get bigger, the numbers scroll faster too. Slow Dice Blocks can be obtained by landing on a Dice Space, a Spin Space or from a Toad House. Another way of obtaining a Slow Dice Block is for the player to be in last place when the "Almost There!" event occurs.
