Template:Minigame-infobox Parasol Plummet is a 4-Player coin-collecting minigame in Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Superstars.
Gameplay
Players with umbrellas while falling through the sky (that is made out of blue-painted bricks) attempt to use them to grab coins. If the players close the umbrella, they fall. If the player opens the umbrella, the player can move to get coins while going up. Hammer Bros. that appear on the beanstalks on both sides throw coins, Coin Bags, and hammers to players. If players get hit by a hammer, the umbrella closes and they fall, rendering them temporarily unable to collect coins.

Trivia
- The umbrella that Peach uses resembles her own parasol.
- There are two different pieces of artwork of Mario with elements from this minigame. In the solo artwork, he is holding the umbrella in both hands and looking at the coins; however, in the group artwork with Wario, Waluigi, and Daisy, he is holding the umbrella in his left hand and grabbing a coin in his right.
