Durians in Mario Party DS appear in the minigame Hexoskeleton, where after being hit twice, Dry Bones will start ground-pounding the arena, creating a force that may drop a durian. If Dry Bones ground-pounds one, he will be stunned for a while before he starts to ground-pound the arena again. If the player wins the minigame twice, the player will earn the Boss Trophies collectable, which depicts a durian.
