==Gameplay==
It costs 200 Coins to buy from the [[Mini-Game House]] once it becomes available.
The objective of the minigame is to reach the [[Treasure Chest]] at the top of the tower within the time limit of ten seconds. The player does this by punching wooden crates to bring the upper part of the tower down.
 
To make the minigame interesting, Thwomps appear alongside wooden crates, stacked together. The creatures' purpose is to prevent the player from reaching the top of the tower by moving their bodies to rise up or lower down. Additionally, the difficulty of the minigame depends on how the Thwomps and wooden crates are placed within the tower at the beginning of the minigame.
 
If the player successfully reaches the treasure chest, they win ten [[Coin]]s. However, if the player punches a Thwomp by mistake or simply runs out of time, he or she loses the minigame.
 
The minigame can be purchased from the [[Mini-Game House]] for two hundred Coins when it is available for purchase.
