The toy variety of  '''[[Ninji]]s''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. They jump up and down in one spot, acting much like the second type of Ninjis in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and can give [[Mario]] a boost to higher places if he [[jump]]s on their heads. They have a windup key on their back like the rest of the mini-minions, and have a purple coloration like the version of the Ninjis seen in the reissues of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. They are first seen in [[Fire Mountain (world)|Fire Mountain]]. They cannot be destroyed, and touching one results in Mario losing a life.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], Ninjis were redesigned to more closely resemble the current design of Ninjis, now being black with red buttons.<ref>Nintendo of America (September 14, 2023).
