The DK Space is a special space that first appears in Mario Party 5. (Beginning with Mario Party 5 --and until Mario Party 9-- Donkey Kong leaves the playable character roster. And he does not return as a fully playable character until Mario Party 10, Star Rush, Super, and Superstars.) When someone lands on this space, then Donkey Kong appears. And he does a positive effect like playing a DK mini-game where he trades you coins for any bananas you earn. This space's color changes to blue on your player panel when you land on it.
Mario Party 5[]
In this game when you land on it, then Donkey Kong lets you do one of 3 events.
Events in Mario Party 5[]
- DK Minigame: A DK Minigame begins, and every player gets once, twice, or three times the number of coins for each banana they get. At the end, Donkey Kong converts the bananas (which the player collected into coins
- DK Bonus: Lets you roll a DK Barrel that gives you coins (5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 coins).
- DK Roulette: A Dice Block duel. This is similar to the Dice Duel with Goomba on Goomba's Greedy Gala (from Mario Party 4). Donkey Kong appears. Then he (on the player) rolls a number on the Dice Block. If the player roll a higher number than his, then they receive a free star. The player wins a star if they roll higher than Donkey Kong (or if Donkey Kong rolls a "1"). But they lose and not get anything if they roll lower than him (or if Donkey Kong rolls a "10"). However, if the player loses, they remain on the same space and do not go back to the start.
Mario Party 6[]
This space returns in Mario Party 6 but only during the Daytime. The Roulette is removed. However, the DK Bonus now has a chance of getting a star.
Events in Mario Party 6[]
- DK Minigame: Same as Mario Party 5.
- DK Bonus: Lets you roll a DK Barrel that gives you coins (5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 coins) or a star.
No DK or Bowser Spaces appear in Clockwork Castle (due to following Donkey Kong in the day and Bowser at night).
Mario Party 7[]
When this space is triggered by the player in Mario Party 7, then Donkey Kong will appear. In this installment, both the Roulette and Bonus 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).
Events in Mario Party 7[]
- Single Player DK Minigame: The player challenges Donkey Kong to a challenge, and gets 10, 20 or 30 coins, or a star for winning. (However on the board Windmillville, due to a special stipulation, the player --on single player DK minigames-- can only win 10, 20, or 30 coins.)
- Multiplayer DK Minigame: Similar to Mario Party 5 and 6.
Mario Party 8[]
In this game when someone lands on it, Donkey Kong appears and starts an event which is unique to the board. (He shows up and does a positive effect.) Afterwards, all DK Spaces turn into Bowser Spaces. In this game, all of the events are gone (the Roulette, Bonus, and Minigame events). The DK event (via the DK Space) is now a board mechanic.
Mario Party 9[]
In this game, DK Spaces only appear on the board DK's Jungle Ruins. If any player lands on this space, the Bananas and Z-Bananas (which replace Mini Stars and Mini Ztars --unlike in the previous six boards-- but have a similar effect) rotate around the stage in an event called Banana Spin Wheel. Unlike in the previous four installments (Mario Party 5 through 8), the DK event acts like a ? Space event. And it is sometimes considered positive or negative.
