Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, Tingle's Tower is a Mini-Game hub that appears when the Hyrulean Adventure is played in Multiplayer mode. In each Level, the Links are invited to Tingle's Tower once they complete the Level's second Stage.^{[note 1]}^[4] If the invitation is accepted, a trio of Tingles fly in and drop Tingle's Tower on the Overworld Map, usually between the second and third Stages of the Level.^{[note 2]} Tingle's Tower can then be selected like a Stage in the Level.^{[note 3]} If the invitation to Tingle's Tower is declined, the invitation is re-sent whenever the Links return to the Level.^{[note 4]}

The interior is a one-room hall with eight portals resembling Moon Gates. Tingle stands in the middle of the room; he welcomes the Links to the Tower and encourages them to play his games.^[2] Each of the eight portals lead to a different Mini-Game. One Mini-Game is unlocked per Level—the corresponding portal becomes active only once the Links accepts the invite for that Level.^{[note 5]} Each portal has a Sign in front of it indicating the name of the Mini-Game (and in some cases a short description of the game and/or a high score when applicable). If a Mini-Game has not yet been unlocked, the corresponding Sign simply reads, "Getting ready." When one of the Links touches an active portal, Tingle asks if they would like to play the corresponding Mini-Game. If the Links accept,^{[note 6]} another trio of Tingles fly in on balloons and take the Links to the location of the Mini-Game.^[5]

Most Mini-Games are facilitated by an unnamed Human who will explain the rules as well as declare the start and end of the game. Each of the Links is rewarded with Force Gems based on their performance in the game, in addition to any Force Gems they gathered during the game itself. After completing the game, the Links are led to a separate area where Tingle may assign bonus Force Gems for certain achievements during the game. Tingle announces who placed first, second, third, and fourth, then gives the Links one Force Fairy for every thousand Force Gems they collected altogether. He then says his magic words to take the Links back to the Tower.^[6]

The inside of Tingle's Tower is ringed with flashing green, red, and blue lights shaped like Tingle's head. At the back of the room are various Objects which cannot be interacted with: two Statues of Tingle in different poses, three open Treasure Chests, three Blocks, an unlit Torch, a beach ball, a pylon, and three gift boxes on a table with green, red, and blue ribbons.

Notes

↑ If the Stage is completed in single-player mode, the invitation is sent when the corresponding Level is selected in Multiplayer mode.
↑ In the Realm of the Heavens, Tingle's Tower is placed between the first and second Stages, presumaby due to a lack of space between The Dark Cloud and the Palace of Winds on the Overworld Map.
↑ Whereas the flashing marker for other Stages is yellow, the one for Tingle's Tower is green.
↑ The animation of the Tingles dropping the tower is skipped when the players accept consecutive invites before choosing a Stage.
↑ Once a Mini-Game is unlocked, it can be accessed from any Tingle's Tower on the Overworld Map.
↑ Any player can accept the prompt to start a Mini-Game, regardless of who stepped on the portal.
