'''''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''''' is an action [[Genre#Puzzle|puzzle]] game for the [[Nintendo DS]] | '''''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''''' is an action [[Genre#Puzzle|puzzle]] game for the [[Nintendo DS]] and the fourth game in the ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' series. Notably, it is also the last ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game released for the console, being first launched in late 2010. The base gameplay and objectives of this game are mostly the same as in the previous titles, being centered on bringing all the [[Mini]] toys safely to the goal in each level. However, the gameplay is now focused on tracing paths and bridges for the Minis to use, more so than simply toggling blocks and buttons to determine their path as in the previous games. Most future titles in the series, such as ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'' and ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', would also feature this construction-based gimmick. [[Mini Pauline]] toys make their debut with this game, joining the cast of Minis as the highlight of Mario's new theme park despite appearing late in the game as playable characters. Alongside the main game, a level editor is also present in a mode called the [[Construction Zone]], where players can design their own levels. A significant feature of the game was its [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] compatibility, using the same system as in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. Every two weeks, Nintendo held challenge contests where the player could submit a level that was subsequently judged by other players, with the top-rated level being announced as a winner candidate at the end of a contest. | ||

[[Mario]] is opening his [[Super Mini Mario World|new theme park]] with his honored guest [[Pauline]], and as an opening gift he is giving [[Mini Pauline]] toys to the first 100 guests to arrive at the park. [[Donkey Kong]] desperately wants a Mini Pauline and charges through the line of [[Toad (species)|Toads]] to get to the front, only to find out that he is the 101st guest to arrive, with Mario informing him they are all out of stock. Donkey Kong loses his temper and kidnaps the real Pauline in a fit of rage, leaving Mario and his force of [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s to rescue her. | [[Mario]] is opening his [[Super Mini Mario World|new theme park]] with his honored guest [[Pauline]], and as an opening gift he is giving [[Mini Pauline]] toys to the first 100 guests to arrive at the park.

There is an optional level in every attraction that consists of a minigame. It is unlocked after all nine Mini Mario Cards are collected in that attraction. With regard to gameplay, these minigames are similar to {{wp|pachinko}} machines. The player must use objects such as Red Girders and conveyor belts to lead Minis from the top into [[Toy box (object)|toy boxes]] located at the bottom. The player scores points for each Mini that reaches its goal. There is also a time limit of 60 seconds (one minute), however, the remaining time can be increased with ten seconds by leading the Minis into clock items that occasionally spawn on the screen. The layout of each minigame varies from one attraction to another. | |||

They can multiply the number of points by 1, 2, 3, or 4, with 100 being the default amount of points. However, there are also distinct, black-colored Minus Boxes that feature a red cross sign. If entered, they decrease the score with up to two times their value. | ||
In even-numbered minigames, each Mini has to be driven into a specific box that depicts its face, obtaining 100 points. Dropping a Mini in the wrong box yields no points. | |||

[[Mario]], one of the titular characters, only plays a role in the story cutscenes. In cutscenes that play between attractions, he is seen chasing Donkey Kong and Pauline in a locomotive, the Super Mini Mario Express, where he is accompanied by a few [[Mini]]s. After dropping at a station, Mario demonstrates the elements of the new attraction with the Minis. Meanwhile, Pauline cries for help in Donkey Kong's arms. Aside from cutscenes, [[Donkey Kong]] also appears in boss levels, where he is fought. [[Pauline]] is always kept beside him, where she watches the actions of the Minis as they unravel. [[Toad (species)|Toads]] appear as visitors of Mario's newly opened theme park, but they are only figurant characters. | [[Mario]], one of the titular characters, only plays a role in the story cutscenes.

Daemon Hatfield of IGN "[could not] stress enough that [the game] is pure joy to play", stating that the variety of collectables brings a significant contribution to the game's replay value.
