Exit Door

Guide all the Mini Marios together to the exit door within the time limit to clear an area.

When a Mini Mario reaches the exit door, a short timer is activated. If you do not bring
the next Mini Mario to the door before time runs out, all the remaining Mini Marios will
be locked out and it’s Game Over. Also, if even one of your Mini Marios breaks, it’s Game
Over. Doors with a lock on them can only be opened by a Mini Mario carrying a key.

In areas with toys other than Mini Marios (capsule toys), you must lead each toy to the
corresponding exit door with their face on it ( P. 18). These toys behave just like Mini
Mario, so if one of them breaks, it’s Game Over.

Objects and Items

Movable Objects

Rivets

Rivets hold Red Girders, Blue Ladders, and conveyors in place.
Tapping on a rivet will remove the object held in the rivet.

Red Girders

Red Girders are held in place by rivets. Tap and slide your stylus
from one rivet to another to place a Red Girder. Tapping on a rivet
connected to a placed Red Girder will remove all Red Girders that
are connected there. You can’t move the gray steel frame.

Purple Conveyors

Purple Conveyors will move in the direction you place them with
your stylus. Tapping a conveyor switch will reverse the direction of
all the conveyor belts in an area. You can’t move Gray Conveyors.

Pink and Yellow Springs

When a Mini Mario marches up to a spring, he will automatically
jump on it. Pink Springs will make him jump straight up. Yellow
Springs will make him jump in the direction he is moving. You can
tap a spring to remove or place it.

16

Green Pipes

When Mini Mario enters a pipe, he’ll exit out of the other side of the
same-colored pipe. Some pipes can be moved like springs, and some
are fixed in place.

Blue Ladders

When Mini Mario comes to a ladder, he will automatically climb up
or down. You can tap a rivet to remove it.

Help Mode

Use Help Mode to learn about objects and items.
Press to display the Help screen, and then tap the object
or item you want to learn more about. A description will appear
with helpful information. Anytime you see something new, be
sure to check it out in Help Mode!

Other Items

Hints

Coins and Large Coins

Each area is filled with coins.
Large coins are worth 5 coins.
Try to collect them all!

Mini Mario Cards

There are nine cards in each attraction.
Collect them all to spell out the words
“Mini Mario” and unlock the minigame
( P. 23).

Hammers

Grab these to make your Mini Mario
swing hammers around for a short time
to defeat enemies such as Shy Guy and
other toys left by Donkey Kong. The
hammers will return to their original spot
after a while.

18

Circus Kong

A Circus Kong is one type
of Donkey Kong’s robots. If
a Mini Mario touches a Circus Kong, the
Circus Kong will juggle the Mini Mario
by tossing it high up in the air. It can be
temporarily defeated with hammers, but
it will come back to life after a while.

Capsule Toys and
Special Exit Doors

These are toys trapped inside a capsule.
When Mario bumps into a capsule toy,
the toy inside will pop out and move
just like a Mini Mario. Your goal is to get
characters to the
exit doors with
their faces on them.

Scout out the level before you start!

The timer does not begin until a Mini starts moving. Be sure to scout out an area and
look up unfamiliar objects and items in Help Mode before you make a move.
You can even position springs and other objects beforehand too!

Collect all coins, M-Tokens, and Mini Mario Cards!

You can return to levels you have already cleared. Keep trying until you can quickly save
all the Mini Marios and find all the Mini Mario Cards, M-Tokens, and coins. You can earn
a trophy!

Aim for a high score!

The more time you have remaining after completing an area, the higher your time bonus.
If you get all the coins and Mini Mario Cards, you get a Perfect Bonus.

Use those handy features!

You can use Help Mode and the Map anytime during a game. If you get stuck, use Help
Mode to check out an object or use the Map to view the entire area.

Clear tough areas using Mini Guide!

If you get Game Over on a stage multiple times in a row, a new option on the Game
Over screen called Mini Guide will appear. If you select Mini Guide, the game will reload
the same area and play itself, showing you how to complete the stage. The level will
be marked complete, but you won’t get credit for coins or Mini Mario Cards, and your
score won’t be recorded. You can always go back later and clear the level yourself!
