'''Awful Tower''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.
'''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]]. [[Upward Mobility]], from ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', is very similar to this minigame.


==Overview==
==Introduction==
The minigame opens with a view of a tower appearing to be made of blocks, scrolling from top to bottom.<ref>{{cite|author=NintendoMovies|timestamp=0:01|url=youtu.be/LzNZYMOYDf4?feature=shared&t=1|title=''Mario Party 3'' - Awful Tower|publisher=YouTube|date=September 26, 2016}}</ref>
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 up and down repeatedly seemingly form a path to reach to 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.


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 [[hammer]]s 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 [[coin]]s 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.
==Gameplay==
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.

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.
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]].
The first player who reaches the last colored block will jump onto the [[Fwoosh]] that awaited at the end of the tower, thus winning the minigame. Players who collected extra Coins that are scattered around the minigame will keep them.
