Item Description

The Mini-Mario toys stole the show in the Game Boy Advance Mario vs. Donkey Kong, so for the sequel, Nintendo Software Technology gave them the whole stage. March of the Minis opens with business booming at the Mario Toy Company, which has expanded its line with Mini Donkey Kong, Mini Toad and Mini Peach. Mario celebrates by opening a theme park, Super Mini Mario World, but on opening day Donkey Kong falls for Pauline, she picks a Mini Mario over his Mini DK, and the jealous ape smashes the displays and carries her off to the top floor.

Getting her back is all done with the stylus. Rather than steering Mario, you guide a troop of wind-up Minis that keep marching forward until you redirect them, setting temporary walls, flipping switches and steering them clear of hazards. They are fragile, so one careless step into an enemy or a trap costs you a toy. Clearing a stage is only half the job: points come from the time left and the coins you grab, and the big bonuses go to saving every Mini, chaining them through the exit in quick succession, and finishing without ever stopping them. Send the Gold Mini-Mario through last and the score climbs even higher.

More than 80 levels are spread across the park's floors, and each floor ends in a showdown with Donkey Kong where you fire Minis at him from a cannon, with your ammunition set by how many Minis you brought home along the way. Bronze, silver and gold stars, plus a card hidden in every stage, unlock extras including a whack-a-Shy Guy minigame. Then there is the Construction Zone, a drag-and-drop level editor that adds each floor's objects to your toolkit once you clear it. At launch, players could swap creations over local wireless and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, an online service that has since been retired.

March of the Minis set the template the later DS entries built on, with the Minis front and center and a level editor for players' own designs. It is a smart early example of a DS game designed around the touch screen from the ground up rather than bolting stylus controls onto a button game, and its score-chasing depth gives perfectionists a reason to replay stages long after the credits. Easy to start and surprisingly hard to master, it shows off the playful puzzle side of Mario that his platformers rarely have room for.

About the game

It seems folks love those Mini Mario toys. So much so that the Mario Toy Company has expanded the line to include Mini Donkey Kong, Mini Toad and Mini Peach figures to the series. With all these toys bringing him more money than he knows what to do with, Mario decides to fulfill his lifelong dream and open a theme park called Super Mini Mario World. The opening-day crowd includes Pauline and Donkey Kong, who immediately falls head over heels for the lovely lass. The proud ape tries to show off his Mini DK toy to Pauline, but she picks the Mini Mario toy over his and the jealous Donkey Kong becomes enraged. He smashes the displays, destroys the toys and takes Pauline to the top floor of the amusement park. Players must find Pauline and save the day. Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 allows players to create their own maps with a new level editor. Once a map is created, players can send it across the world via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players also can use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to download maps created by others, check out a player-ranking system and access special bonuses. These unique features are sure to be a smash hit with puzzle fans everywhere.
