Awful Tower is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 3.
Overview[edit]
The minigame opens with a view of a tower appearing to be made of blocks, scrolling from top to bottom.[1]
Players jump from colored blocks which move up and down while trying to make it to the top first. A Hammer Bro on a cloud shows up at times, throwing hammers at players to stun and cause them to fall if they get hit. The first player to land on the final colored block, followed by the Fwoosh automatically, wins. Players can also keep any coins they have optionally collected along the way. If none of the players make it to the top on time, the minigame results in a draw.
Awful Tower ends with the winner doing their victory animation at the top.
The title of the minigame is a play on the famous French landmark Eiffel Tower.
