'''Towers''' are a type of level appearing in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' sub-series. They are more or less the equivalent of the [[Fortress]]es from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Unlike most Fortresses, in which the player may have to progress from left to right or vertically, Towers exclusively feature vertical direction. One appears midway through every [[world]] (except for [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6]] and [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]] from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' as well as [[Rock-Candy Mines]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', which have two). The challenge of Towers generally depends more on traps and obstacles than [[enemies]].

Towers are always vertically oriented courses, where the player has to move upward to advance. In their appearances, Towers appear midway through every [[world]] (except for [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6]] and [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]] from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' as well as [[Rock-Candy Mines]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Starting from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', some worlds have no towers whatsoever. [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the Special Worlds of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', [[Peach's Castle#New Super Mario Bros. U|Peach's Castle]] and [[Superstar Road]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' are examples.

==History==
==''New Super Mario Bros.'' Boss Fights==
===''Super Mario'' series===
At the top of every tower, there is a boss fight with [[Bowser Jr.]], who becomes increasingly more difficult as Mario (or Luigi) reaches each Tower. When Jr. is defeated, he gets back up and jumps off-screen (and out of the Tower). Additionally, the first time Jr. is defeated in each tower, a brief cutscene ensues on the map, showing him running with [[Princess Peach]] to the [[Castle]] of that world. Some worlds have 2 towers.

*'''{{world-link|1|towern|World 1-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}:''' The fight is simple, with no obstacles. Bowser Jr. runs at the player to attack.
*'''{{world-link|2|towern|World 2-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}:''' The fight is a bit harder, as Bowser Jr. now has the ability to jump high, and there is quicksand on the arena.
*'''{{world-link|3|towern|World 3-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}:''' Bowser Jr. can still jump high, and the fight is now held on a platform above a pool of water.

*'''{{world-link|5|towern|World 5-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}:''' Bowser Jr. does not throw shells, but the fight is on a pillar of ice, which reduces the player's traction, and is held over a bottomless pit.

The following are tower-related courses in [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Challenge Mode]] that have no origin.
==''New Super Mario Bros. U'' Boss Fights==
At the end of the first six world's towers (excluding [[Rock-Candy Mines]]' second tower), there is a boss fight with a [[Boom Boom]], who, after [[Acorn Plains]], has [[Kamek]] enhance it's abilities. After [[Grinding-Stone Tower]], the bosses of the towers [[Screwtop Tower]] and [[Slide Lift Tower]] are replaced by [[Boss Sumo Bro.]] and Kamek respectively.
*'''{{world-link|Acorn|tower|Crushing-Cogs Tower}}''': A Boom Boom, in it's most standard boss fight.
*'''{{world-link|Cake|tower|Stoneslide Tower}}''': A Boom Boom, Kamek gives the Boom Boom the power to spin jump. He keeps this ability in the following boss fights.

*[[Three Dry Bones]] - 1-Up Rally
====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', the courses [[Cutting-Edge Spire]] and [[Scaredy Rat Race]] take place in towers. These courses have modified movement rules compared to the rest of the game. The player can change direction with a [[Wall Jump]] or by sliding down a wall that they jumped to while standing next to it. Since Towers still have vertical layouts, and ''Super Mario Run'' has the player automatically run forward, this mechanic is required to climb both Towers. Neither course ends in a boss battle. Instead, a [[Warp Door]] leads to an exterior section played under normal rules, which includes a [[Goal Pole]]. This is similar to the secret exits of other Tower courses in the [[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario series]].
Tower courses are not used in the Toad Rally mode.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
A tower, particularly the [[Slide Lift Tower]] level, appears as one of the variations of the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', featuring a [[Slide Lift]] derived from said level. Like the other sections of Mushroom Kingdom U, different obstacles such as [[icicle]]s and [[Water Geyser]]s appear as stage hazards.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The seven castles on the overworld map in ''Super Mario World'' appear as towers.
*In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', all the towers have Bowser Jr.'s face marked on the walls of the towers.
*In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', all the towers have Bowser Jr.'s face marked on the walls of the towers.
*Due to both the tower icon and map model resembling fortresses in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and ''New Super Luigi U'', there is some slight naming confusion across languages:
*The ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'' instruction manual refers to Towers as [[Fortress]]es. However, the European instructions refer to them correctly as 'Towers'.
**The ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'' instruction manual refers to towers as "[[fortress]]es." However, the [[Prima Games]] guide refers to them as "Towers."<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno, Fernando|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=11|date=November 15, 2009|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-46592-4}}</ref>
{{BoxTop}}
**In the Japanese supplemental materials of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', towers were identified as forts. In ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', the name was revised to tower, matching the English versions. Despite this, the names for individual tower levels in the Japanese versions of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'' continue to call them forts.
