The '''Mario Toy Company''' is a company that sells [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] toys in the game ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. In the game, [[Donkey Kong]] tries to purchase a Mini Mario toy after seeing a commercial for them on television. However, all the stores are sold out. As a result, Donkey Kong travels to the company's factory and steals all of the Mini Mario toys he can get his hands on, simultaneously kidnapping the factory's [[Toad (species)|Toad]] employees. Eventually, [[Mario]] recovers all of the toys and defeats Donkey Kong. It is the first world in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''.
'''Mario Toy Company''' is the first world in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. This world takes place in an urban setting, featuring the main building of the [[Mario Toy Company|eponymous company]] surrounded by its affiliated buildings and many apartment blocks. It is where the player is introduced to the game's controls and recurring gimmicks like [[Color Switch]]es and [[ladder]]s. Common enemies introduced in this world include [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Oil]]s, and [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]]s, while also featuring lesser-recurring enemies like [[Bucket Man|Bucket Men]], [[Wire Trap]]s, and [[Brickman|Brickmen]].


This acts as the introductory level in the game and contains simple puzzles. During the Donkey Kong fight, Mario must throw garbage cans that appear depending on the buttons that Donkey Kong activates for a total 4 times.
Mario Toy Company is also the only playable world in the demo version of the remake, although it is only limited to a few selected levels: [[Level 1-1 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|Level 1-1]], [[Level 1-3 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|Level 1-3]], [[Level 1-5 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|Level 1-5]], and [[Level 1-mm]]. Completion of this world will immediately lead to the demo video which showcases the full version of the game. Notably, the name of the world is not displayed in the level select screen as it is replaced with the game's logo, but it can still be seen when pausing while in a level.
