The base gameplay and objectives of this game are mostly the same as in the previous titles, being centered on bringing all the [[Mini]] toys safely to the goal in each level. However, the gameplay is now focused on tracing paths and bridges for the Minis to use, more so than simply toggling blocks and buttons to determine their path as in the previous games. [[Mini Pauline]] toys make their debut with this game, joining the cast of Minis as the highlight of Mario's new theme park despite appearing late in the game as playable characters. Alongside the main game, a level editor is also present in a mode called the [[Construction Zone]], where players can design their own levels.
