'''''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''''' is a [[DSiWare]] action [[Genre#Puzzle|puzzle]] game and a follow-up to ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', released for the [[Nintendo DSi]] on June 8, 2009 in North America, August 21, 2009 in Europe and Australia, and October 7, 2009 in Japan. Once again, the focus of this game is on the [[mini]] toys produced by [[Mario]]'s [[Mario Toy Company|toy company]], which have to be guided to the exit in each level.

The gameplay of this title is simplified in comparison to the previous game, as the player no longer has control over the minis after initiating them and can only use the touchscreen to manipulate the environment around them. This gameplay style would become standard in all later ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' games. In addition, the game allows players to create their own levels. Players could also share levels using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] procedures; however, the service was terminated on May 20, 2014, making online sharing no longer possible.

''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'' received follow-up game called ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', which was released for the Nintendo DS in late 2010 and is the final ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game to be released for that console. The game was eventually re-released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Nintendo eShop#Nintendo 3DS|eShop]] on June 16, 2011 in Japan, the United States, and Australia and on July 7, 2011 in Europe.

The [[nwiki:Nintendo DSi Shop|Nintendo DSi Shop]] was shut down on on March 31, 2017, rendering ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'' no longer legitimately obtainable. The game was later removed from the 3DS eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the game. However, players who purchased the title before this date can still play it as long as it is on their 3DS device.
==Story==
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.

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.

==Gameplay==
===Differences from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''===
[[File:MvDKMMA ActiveGoalDoor.png|thumb|The timer that appears above the exit forces all Minis in the level to reach the exit consecutively.]]
''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'' features a less detailed story with slight changes from ''March of the Minis''; however, the most major differences between the two games center around their gameplay. ''Minis March Again!'' removes direct control of the Minis, including the ability to make Minis jump and change directions at will using the {{button|DS|stylus}} stylus. Instead, after a Mini is activated by tapping it with the stylus, it moves automatically. Minis also automatically jump whenever they reach ground one block above them. If a Mini falls from a height of seven to nine blocks, it becomes momentarily dizzy and stunned. Aside from activating the Minis, the player can only change the environment around them to direct them to the exit. Minis are now required to reach the exit within a set amount of time; otherwise, the exit is boarded shut and the player loses the level. Additionally, every Mini is required to reach the exit to complete the level.

Minis March Again! re-introduces the life system from ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' using [[M-Token]]s. An M-Token is lost if time runs out, if a Mini touches any enemy, falls onto spikes or other dangerous obstacles, falls from a height of ten blocks or more, or if the next Mini fails to reach the exit in about five seconds after one has entered. The player can also lose a token by restarting or exiting a level before it is cleared for the first time, which was also the case in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''. Losing all tokens results in a [[Game Over]], and the player can choose to restart the current level or exit the game. Extra lives can be gathered with every [[M-Token]] or 100 [[Coin]]s collected throughout the game. 

Many level mechanics return, but most designs include a large focus on the redesigned [[Pink Block]] mechanic, as referenced in the game's logo. The Construction Zone also returns from the second game, but ''Minis March Again!'' has some different objects available. Plus Mode, which first appeared in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' and was not included in the second game, is also available after beating the first four worlds.

===Construction Zone===
[[File:MvDKMMA ConstructionZone.png|thumb|150px]]
{{main|Construction Zone#Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!}}
The '''Construction Zone''' game mode returns from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'', allowing the player to create, play, and share their own custom levels. The level editor in this mode is very similar to the editor in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'', allowing the player to place elements on a grid to build a level.
{{br}}

==Characters==
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.

==Floors==
Each floor of Super Mini Mario World has its own theme and unique elements that set it apart. They each consist of eight regular levels (one of which is a key level,) a DK boss battle, and a [[Special Level]].

In American and Japanese regions, the floor count for all floors excluding the Basement and Rooftop simply goes from "Floor 1" to "Floor 4", whereas in all other regions, the count starts from "Ground Floor" and ends at "Floor 3".

After the player defeats Donkey Kong in Jungle Rumble, a mode with new levels, Plus Mode, is unlocked. In these levels, the player can change the environment only after all Minis are initiated at once by pressing the "START" button and waiting for the 3-2-1 countdown.

==Items and objects==
The game contains a variety of objects that both the player and the minis can interact with. Most of these objects, with the exception of Ladders and clocks, are listed in the game's help menu under "Special Items".
{|width=100% class=wikitable
|-
!width="1"|Item
!About
|-
|align="center"|[[Pink Block]]
|An object that can function as both a platform and a wall. Pink Blocks are ubiquitous items in the game that can be picked up and placed in empty spaces throughout a level. There are often entire grids containing such spaces where the player can position rows of Pink Blocks to form bridges, stairways, or walls for the minis.
|-
|align="center"|[[Yellow Spring|Yellow]] and [[Blue Spring]]s
|Objects that bounce the minis to other platforms. Yellow Springs bounce them on a high arc, while the Blue variety launches them off on a wide arc.
|-
|align="center"|[[Ladder]]
|An object that connects two platforms vertically, helping the minis move between them.
|-
|align="center"|[[Color Switch]]
|A button that can be pressed to transform certain objects or enemies of the same color. Color Switches come in red, yellow and blue.
|-
|align="center"|Color Gates and Bridges
|Objects that can be extended or retracted using a Color Switch of the same color.
|-
|align="center"|Color Block
|An object that can be enabled or disabled using a Color Switch of the same color. In their active state, Color Blocks act as platforms and walls. In their inactive state, they are transparent and can be passed through.
|-
|align="center"|[[Warp Pipe|Pipes]]
|Objects that transport the minis from one place to another in a level. There are two types of Pipes: the green ones have both ends connected, while the cyan and yellow ones have their ends split to different parts of a level. Both of these types function the same, but the latter can take up less space in a level.
|-
|align="center"|[[Box Spring]]
|A box-like object that can be tapped on to release a spring. This can be used to bounce minis up as a normal spring would. Box Springs contain either a Yellow Spring or a Blue Spring, which is depicted on them.
|-
|align="center"|[[Magnet Ground|Magnet]]
|An object that the minis can stick to, allowing them to walk on all of its surfaces. To escape a Magnet, the minis have to walk on a non-magnetic surface.
|-
|align="center"|[[Conveyor Belt|Conveyor belt]]
|A platform that carries the minis in a certain direction, shown on the arrows that run along the conveyor belt. It can also direct Spear Guys, Pokeys and Thwomps, as seen when tested in the Construction Zone editor. The player can tap on a conveyor switch to change the direction of all conveyor belts in a level at the same time.
|-
|align="center"|[[Pop-up Gate]]
|A temporary wall that is used to change the direction of the minis. Pop-up Gates can be activated for five seconds by tapping on bases with upward arrows found on the ground.
|-
|align="center"|[[Rotate Pipe]]
|A pipe segment that can be rotated 90 degrees at a time to connect two pipe ends.
|-
|align="center"|[[Magnet Rod|Spin-bar magnet]]
|A magnetic object with two rotatable ends, which can be used to flip the entire spin-bar magnet. This can be used to flip all minis that are currently on one side of a spin-bar magnet to the other side.
|-
|align="center"|[[Coin]]
|A collectable item that adds 100 points to the score. Collecting 100 Coins overall awards the player with an [[extra life]].
|-
|align="center"|[[10-Coin|Large Coin]]
|A collectable that is worth 10 regular Coins and adds 1000 points to the score when collected.
|-
|align="center"|[[Mini Mario Card]]
|A collectable item that appears in every level of the game. Collecting all nine lettered Mini Mario Cards on a floor unlocks a [[Special Level]] on that floor. Collecting a Mini Mario Card also adds 2000 points to the score.
|-
|align="center"|[[M-Token]]
|A collectable that grants an extra life.
|-
|align="center"|[[Hammer]]s
|An item that can be picked up and used to attack enemies. The Hammers last for a limited time after being picked up, and reappear in the same spot in which they were encountered. If the minis use a Ladder while they have the Hammers in their hands, they will throw them upward, which allows the toys to catch and continue using them after departing from the Ladder.
|-
|align="center"|[[+ Clock|Clock]]
|A collectable item that only appears in Donkey Kong levels. It can be collected by shooting a Mini Mario into it, affecting the timer upon doing so. Blue clocks increase the timer with 30 seconds, while gray fuming clocks decrease it with 30 seconds.
|}

==Enemies==
{|width=100% class=wikitable
|-
!width="1"|Enemy
!About
!width=8%|First appearance
!width=8%|Last appearance
|-
|align="center"|[[Bird (Mario vs. Donkey Kong series)|Bird]]s
|An 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.
|align="center"|[[Floor 4 Donkey Kong]]
|align="center"|[[Floor 4+ Donkey Kong]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Capture Kong]]
|A [[monkey robot]] that walks back and forth on the ground. When it comes across a mini, it quickly grabs the toy and puts it inside a sack on its back, disabling the mini completely. If all minis are captured, the player loses a life. A Capture Kong cannot be defeated, but can be stunned and neutralized for a while by hitting it with Hammers. Doing so also frees any mini under its possession.
|align="center"|[[Room 3-7 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 3-7]]
|align="center"|[[Room B-3]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Circus Kong]]
|Another type of monkey robot that is completely stationary. When a mini walks into a Circus Kong, the enemy will start throwing the mini up and down continuously, unless there is a platform where the mini can land after being thrown in the air. The Circus Kong can be temporarily stunned with Hammers, making it unable to pick up minis during that time.
|align="center"|[[Room 1-7 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 1-7]]
|align="center"|[[Room 4-7+]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Donkey Kong]]
|The game's main antagonist who acts as the boss at the end of each world. The objective of each boss battle is to hit Donkey Kong a total of six times by shooting Mini Marios directly into him or causing an outside element to hit him after shooting a Mini Mario. He adopts different tactics depending on the level and its environment, such as shaking the screen to make debris fall on the minis or quickly jumping from vine to vine in an attempt to evade the player's attacks.
|align="center"|[[Floor 1 Donkey Kong]]
|align="center"|[[Floor 4+ Donkey Kong]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Piranha Plant]]s
|Slim carnivorous plants attached to a surface. [[Fire Piranha Plant|Most of them shoot fireballs]], which travel in a straight line to the nearest surface and bounce back into the plant's mouth. Some Piranha Plants do not produce fireballs, but are able to catch and hold them inside their mouth for a short while before spitting them back. Piranha Plants cannot be defeated.
|align="center"|[[Room 2-4 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 2-4]]
|align="center"|[[Room B-4]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Pokey]]
|A three-segmented enemy that slides back and forth on a platform. It can destroy a mini upon contact. Its segments can be turned into solid harmless blocks and vice-versa by pressing a Yellow Color Switch.
|align="center"|[[Room 3-3 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 3-3]]
|align="center"|[[Room 4-6+]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Polterguy]]
|A ghostly enemy surrounded by a harmful aura. It floats in one place in the air, completely stationary and usually accompanied by other Polterguys arranged in a certain formation. Polterguys appear in red, yellow and blue, and when a Color Switch of their color is pressed, they turn into solid harmless blocks or vice-versa.
|align="center"|[[Room 4-5 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 4-5]]
|align="center"|[[Room B-7]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Snapjaw]]
|An enemy that aids Donkey Kong in his battle in Jungle Rumble. It goes up and down a vine, munching continuously. A Mini Mario that is shot into a Snapjaw will break. Snapjaws can be defeated by having a banana bunch drop on them from above.
|align="center"|[[Floor 4 Donkey Kong]]
|align="center"|[[Floor 4+ Donkey Kong]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Snifit]]
|An enemy that shoots five consecutive bullets from its mouth. With each shot, the Snifit gets pushed back a little, but returns to its initial position and pauses for a few moments before shooting more bullets. The enemy displays three spikes on its head to signify, much like Spear Guys, that it cannot be stood on as in the previous game.
|align="center"|[[Room 1-6+]]
|align="center"|[[Room B-2]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Spear Guy]]
|A [[Shy Guy]] 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''. Spear Guys can be defeated with Hammers or turned into solid harmless blocks (or vice-versa) by pressing a Red Color Switch.
|align="center"|[[Room 1-7+]]
|align="center"|[[Room 4-Key+]]
|-
|align="center"|[[Thwomp]]
|A stone enemy that drops down to the ground a while after it spots a mini underneath, attempting to crush it. It cannot be destroyed in any way.
|align="center"|[[Room 3-5 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 3-5]]

''Instead of controlling the Mini Marios directly, you use the stylus to manipulate objects in each trap-laden level, and lead the fragile toys safely to the exit. Once you clear all eight levels on a floor, you’ll get a chance to pummel Donkey Kong with your Mini Mario-launching cannon!''

|align="left"|"''This is a great little DSiWare download that extends the Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 experience. Sure, it's more of the same, but fans of the series won't be complaining. Over 40 new levels and the Construction Zone for $8? That sounds about right. Minis March Again is of the old school Nintendo game design: pitch perfect puzzle platforming presented with highly polished visuals. This is a great download even if you haven't played the series and want to test the waters.''"

|align="left"|"''So, yes, this is by definition, a retread; a so-called sequel that doesn't really look or feel much different from the last one. However, that just means it fits perfectly on DSiWare, where casual, quick-hit software is the focus. And regardless, there are plenty of new, fun levels. As mentioned, the low barriers to entry in price and accessibility make it a good grab whether you loved the series before or are just curious about trying it now.''"

Just think of all the possible ways you can drive your friends (and even complete strangers!) up the wall with your devious designs! And if building such contraptions isn't your cup of tea, you're still bound to have a grand old time being the lab rat.''"

The game was directed by Yukimi Shimura of [[Nintendo Software Technology Corporation]], under the supervision of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. The soundtrack was provided by [[Lawrence Schwedler]], who has composed for other ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' games as well. Notably, the game's level designer, [[Stephen Mortimer]], would direct several future ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' projects.
