'''Awful Tower''' is a 4-player [[minigame]] that is found during the events of the [[Nintendo 64]] game, ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. Its name is a pun on the [[Eiffel Tower]].


==Introduction==
==Introduction==
The minigame takes place around a rather tall block-like tower with stylized window covers. The background consists of a rainbow above the various trees at the bottom. Many of the colored blocks that move up and down repeatedly seemingly form a path to reach the top of the tower. The camera shows the whole tower, from top to bottom, and targets the player standing on the ground next to their individual tower as it stops. The minigame then begins.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The players must climb the tower by [[jump]]ing onto the colored blocks that move up and down repeatedly. Players have to time their jumps right in order to reach the next colored block. The player has the option to collect [[coin]]s located in certain places. Additionally, at certain points during the tower climb, a [[Hammer Bro]] riding on a cloud drops by and attempts to throw its [[hammer]]s at the individual players in order to slow them down. If a player gets hit by one of the hammers, the player is stunned and falls down the tower slightly. The first player who reaches the last colored block jumps onto the [[Fwoosh]] that awaits at the top of the tower, thus winning the minigame. Players who collected extra coins that are scattered around the minigame keep them. If none of the players have reached the top within the time limit, the minigame ends in a draw.
The players' objective during the minigame is to climb the tower by utilizing the colored blocks that move up and down repeatedly by [[jump]]ing. Players will have to time their jumping right in order to reach the next colored block.


==Ending==
To make the minigame more interesting, [[Coin]]s are located in certain places that the player has the option to risk getting these pieces. Additionally, at certain points during the tower climb, a [[Hammer Bro.]] riding on the cloud will drop by and attempt to throw their [[Hammer]]s at the individual players in order to slow them down. If a player gets hit by one of the hammers, the player will be stunned and fall down somewhere in the middle of the tower.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This minigame and [[Parasol Plummet]] use the same cloud at the ending. Coincidentally, they are also the only two minigames in which the track  "Looking Ahead" plays.
There is a Mini-Game in [[Mario Party 9]] similar to this one called [[Upward Mobility]].
