- —Board Description, Mario Party DS
DK's Stone Statue is a board in Mario Party DS. It is hosted by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong and resembles DK's Treetop Temple from Mario Party 8. The Star is always located on the Star Splurge Space, on third floor of the stage in the second to last space (because the last one is a Bowser Space). Passing by this space allows them to buy as many stars as possible, provided they have enough coins. Stars cost 20 coins each on this board, with the price lowered to five if the spinner in the Final 5 Frenzy lands on "Stars for 5 coins". The two ? Spaces on each of the two logs will cause a barrel to come crashing down onto the log, and any player in its path loses 10 coins. ? Spaces near to ropes will cause the player to climb up or down the rope to the ? Space at the other side. ? Spaces next to the beehive will allow the player to collect coins from the bees with the stylus as they fly across the touch screen. There are also Red Coins mixed in, which are worth five regular coins. ? Spaces near Dry Bones' casket will cause him to blow the player back to the start of the board or to the space before the Star. Landing on the ? Space at the right edge of the second row will allow the player to choose between three vines. They will receive a Double Dice Set, Triple Dice Set or Halfway Dice Block at random. On this board, the player gets the stars from the Star Splurge Space.
In story mode, the player finds Diddy Kong very troubled. Diddy tells them that Dry Bones turned Donkey Kong into a statue, and the player with the most Stars and Coins must play against Dry Bones in the Hexoskeleton minigame to revert DK back to his normal state. Winning will net the player the third Sky Crystal and access to Kamek's Library.
Trivia
- With Dry Bones as the board's boss, Mario Party DS is the first game in the Mario Party series where he leaves the playable character roster until his appearance in Super Mario Party where he returns as a fully playable character.
