Knock Block Tower is a 1-Player minigame found in Mario Party.
Overview[edit]
The player is on a stone tower, trying to reach the Treasure Chest atop a tower of crates and Thwomps within ten seconds,[1] with the number depending on the difficulty level. The player can knock away crates, but Thwomps obstruct them by moving up and down. The player loses either from punching a Thwomp, knocking them off the stage, or the Treasure Chest being stolen by a Fly Guy when the time limit is reached. Upon reaching the Treasure Chest, the player wins ten Coins. Knock Block Tower is always won by CPU players of any difficulty.
It costs 200 Coins to buy from the Mini-Game House once it becomes available.
Controls[edit]
– Move
– Jump
– Attack
In-game text[edit]
- Game Rules – "A stack of wood blocks comes crashing down. Break the boxes to get to the treasure chest on top."
- Game Rules (Mini-Game Island) – "Knock out only the wood blocks from the Block Tower. Clear the game by getting the treasure chest."
- Advice – "Don't mistakenly attack the Blue Thwomps instead. You'll get knocked away."
