Knock Block Tower is a 1-Player minigame in Mario Party.
Overview[edit]
The objective of the minigame is to reach the Treasure Chest atop a stack of wooden crates and Thwomps at the top of a tower within the time limit of ten seconds. The player does this by punching wooden crates to bring the upper part of the stack down. However, the Thwomps, stacked together, move up and down to prevent the player from reaching the top of the tower. Additionally, the difficulty of the minigame depends on how the Thwomps and wooden crates are placed within the stack at the beginning of the minigame. If the player successfully reaches the Treasure Chest, they win ten Coins. However, if the player punches a Thwomp by mistake, they fall off the tower and immediately lose the minigame. Alternatively, if the time runs out, a Fly Guy steals the Treasure Chest, also ending the minigame in a loss.
The CPU always wins the minigame, regardless of their difficulty.
This minigame costs 200 Coins to buy from the Mini-Game House once it becomes available.
