Teetering Towers is a 1-Player minigame in Mario Party.

Overview[edit]

The player must jump across the tops of tilting towers. The towers tilt in a different direction depending on where the player lands. When a tower teeters over, the player must jump to the next one. Some of the towers have either a Coin or a Coin Bag. The minigame is cleared if the player reaches the final platform at the end. If the player falls into the pit, the minigame ends in a loss and they lose five Coins. If the player wins, they will do their winning animation at the end while standing in front of the moon.

Teetering Towers costs 100 Coins to buy from the Mini-Game House once available.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move
  • A Button – Jump
