Parasol Plummet

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 a player closes their umbrella, they fall. If a player opens their umbrella, they 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 a player gets hit by a hammer, their umbrella closes and they fall, rendering them temporarily unable to collect coins.

Trivia

• The umbrella that Peach uses in Mario Party 3 resembles her own parasol.
• There are two different pieces of Mario Party 3-related 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.
• In Mario Party 3, characters hold their parasols with both hands; in Superstars, they hold them with only their left hand.
• In the Mario Party Superstars variant of the minigame, and only in this minigame, for some reason, Mario uses his voice clip that plays when he obtains a Coin Bag or a Treasure chest in most coin minigames whenever he catches a coin, and says nothing whenever he catches a Coin Bag. This doesn't happen with the other characters.
