At the top of every tower, there is a boss fight with [[Bowser Jr.]], who becomes increasingly more difficult as Mario (or Luigi) reaches each tower. When Jr. is defeated, he gets back up and jumps off-screen (and out of the tower). Additionally, the first time Jr. is defeated in each tower, a brief cutscene ensues on the map, showing him running with [[Princess Peach]] to the [[castle]] of that world. Some worlds have 2 towers.

In ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', the name was revised to tower, matching the English versions. Despite this, the names for individual tower levels in the Japanese versions of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'' continue to call them forts.
