After the success of the [[Super Mini Mario World|Super Mini Mario World theme park]], [[Mario]] and [[Pauline]] open an expansion of it. A crowd of [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s are in line for the opening celebration, along with [[Donkey Kong]]. As Donkey Kong reaches the front of the line, he discovers the tickets have just sold out. Donkey Kong bursts into anger and grabs Pauline. As Donkey Kong runs for the elevator, Mario leaps to rescue Pauline, but ends up failing and ripping the fringe of her dress.

As Mario lies on the ground, a few [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s come towards him, volunteering to help save Pauline. | ||
Later on, when Mario reaches to the top of the tower, he finds Pauline is there waiting for him. Relieved, Mario opens the door, ready to hug her, but then all of a sudden, Donkey Kong turns off the light and captures Pauline once again. Mario and the Mini Marios jump out of the tower after Donkey Kong, leading them to more floors. | Later on, when Mario reaches to the top of the tower, he finds Pauline is there waiting for him.

After all the trouble, Mario once again opens the door and sees Donkey Kong, Pauline, and two Mini Marios. Confused by this, Mario then sees Pauline with a clipboard, showing that the Mini Mario model passed the test. Mario shrugs, and then celebrates with Donkey Kong, Pauline, and the rest of his minis. | After all the trouble, Mario once again opens the door and sees Donkey Kong, Pauline, and two Mini Marios.

In this game, there are four different types of minis that the player can use in levels. [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini | In this game, there are four different types of minis that the player can use in levels. [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s are the default type for most of the game, but [[Mini Toad]]s, [[Mini Peach]]es and [[Mini Donkey Kong]]s are also playable on the Rooftop floor. There are no significant differences between the types of minis. | ||
After three levels with a particular type of mini are completed on the Rooftop floor, the player will be able to switch most Mini Marios in the game with that type of mini. This is done by tapping the "Characters" button in the Showroom section of the Options menu. The only levels where this change does not take effect are key and Donkey Kong levels, where Mini Marios are always used. | After three levels with a particular type of mini are completed on the Rooftop floor, the player will be able to switch most Mini Marios in the game with that type of mini.

|A bird enemy that flies around the bottom screen in the Donkey Kong level of [[Jungle Rumble]]. A Mini Mario will break if simply shot into a Bird. The Bird also occasionally drops [[egg]]s at the Mini Marios in an attempt to destroy them, mainly when Donkey Kong gets hit. To defeat a Bird, the player has to cause a banana bunch to fall on it from the treetops. | |A bird enemy that flies around the bottom screen in the Donkey Kong level of [[Jungle Rumble]].

|A short enemy that walks back and forth on a platform. It carries an upward spear to signify that it cannot be jumped on, unlike in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''; for this reason, the enemy is called a [[Spear Guy]] in the British English version of the game. Shy Guys can be defeated with Hammers or turned into solid harmless blocks (or vice-versa) by pressing a Red Color Switch. | |A short enemy that walks back and forth on a platform.
