DK's Treetop Temple

DK's Treetop Temple is a board in Mario Party 8 which is hosted by Donkey Kong. This is the player's classic Mario Party series board. This board has a large stone statue located in the heart of the jungle. This is the most basic of the maps as it is the first playable map in Mario Party 8. Several barrel cannons operated by Donkey Kong are available for use for a cost of five coins. If used, they will launch a player randomly to another cannon at a different location on the board. This is the only board which uses the classic formula. The star (via the Star Space) is 20 coins. After the player gets the star moves to a different location. 
==Star Battle Arena==
On Star Battle Arena, this board is the first stage. In the Star Battle Arena version, the player or the opponent wins by acquiring two stars (via the Star Space). And both stars are 20 coins each. Whoever collects two stars --via the Star Space (with 20 coins each)-- before the other, the player (or the opponent) wins. (This is similar to the Solo Cruise version of Grand Canal from Mario Party 7.) 
The far left side of the board has been removed.
==Interesting Spaces==
===? Spaces===
*Two spaces make Ukikis on barrels chase players to the other side of the fork in the road.
*Another two spaces make Spear Guys forcibly take a piece of candy from the player who landed on it. The Spear guy will pay the player for the candy, even if there is no candy available. The candy is dependent with the price from the candy shop. The Spear Guy gives the player 5-25 coins (up to 25 coins for the Bitsize Candy). If the player does not have any candy, he gives them pity coins (which is only 5 coins). 
*One green space will allow players to ride down a water slide that will possibly yield them coins. 
===DK Space and Bowser Space===
If the player lands on the DK Space, Donkey Kong takes the player to the star (by tossing them to the Star Space). This is similar to the Genie Lamp/Magic Lamp and Wiggler Capsule/Flutter Orb (from Mario Party 2 through Mario Party 7). And then, the original rules apply. The player must trade 20 coins for the star and the Star Space moves to a different location. This mechanic was succeeded by the item Star Pipe/Golden Pipe in two later installments (of the Mario Party series) Mario Party DS and Superstars. 
If the player lands on the Bowser Space, Bowser appears and moves the Star Space. This is similar to the Lucky Lamp, Chomp Call, and Tweester Capsule (from Mario Party 3, 4, and 5). The former case item (Chomp Call) returns in the later installment (of the series) Superstars. 
===Lucky Space===
When the Lucky Space is landed on, players are transported to a path of Blue Spaces (each with three coins) located behind the board. At the end of the board, the player gets a free star (offered at the Star Space). When the player buys the star or makes it to the end, they will be transported via Warp Pipe back to the board.
==Trivia==
*The section of spaces climbing up the giant statue are meant to look like scaffolding. This and the barrels that roll down it are a reference to the original Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong-1986 for the NES). (That is, similar to the first stage 25m.) 
*This board is very similar in design the DK's Stone Statue in Mario Party DS.
*When the Bowser Space is activated, Bowser will occasionally have a character-specific conversation with the player that activated the Bowser Space.
