'''Sandstorm Steps''' is the fifth attraction in ''[[Mario vs Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''. It is, as its name implies, a desert-themed attraction. Dunes, pyramids and a roller coaster can be seen in the background of the levels. This level introduces the use of movable blue [[ladder]]s. The player can create those by drawing a straight line between a blue rivet and another. Enemies here include [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]]s, [[Shy Guy (toy)|Shy Guy]]s and [[Capture Kong]]s. A new mini, called [[Mini Donkey Kong]], makes its first appearance in this level. It has to be rescued in 5-4, along with a [[Mini Toad]] and a [[Mini Peach]].

In the Plus Mode, a Mini Toad Capsule is replaced with a [[Mini Pauline]] capsule.

During their fifth encounter with [[Donkey Kong]], the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s must use girders and blue ladders to reach a switch near DK, and press it to zap him. As for Donkey Kong, he attacks by slamming the ground to cause [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]]s to come out from two Oil barrels near him and attack the Mini Marios. Once defeated, he takes [[Pauline]] and flees to the [[Cosmic Adventure|sixth attraction]].
