This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Constuction Zone is a game mode in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis which let the player create their own levels. Players can also utilize a Wi-Fi connection to share levels online.

There are 2 type of levels:

  • Local Levels: (or "Your Levels") The levels that the player has created. The game can hold up to 8 of those levels
  • Received Levels: The levels that the player has received from other levels via Wi-Fi. The game can hold up to 24 of those levels

Modes

After opening the Construction Zone the player can enter one of it modes:

  • Play Level - Player can play the levels that he made and tested (all the minis can reach the end) or the levels received from other players via Wi-Fi.
  • Edit Level - Player can make a local level with a specific Construction Kit
    • Erase Level - Players can delete levels.
  • Nintendo WFC - Here's where it gets interesting for players.
    • Synchronize - Players must connect to the WFC to get their own levels ready to send to others.
    • Receive - As long as each player know each other's friend codes and have them installed under their friends list, levels can be received from either at will. Nintendo also has been publishing a level every so often.
    • Nintendo WFC Config - Players can get WFC setting ready here, like in any Wi-Fi game.
    • WFC Friends - Up to 60 friends can be stored here, registered with a friend code. The player's friend code is on the top screen.
  • Multi-Card - Two friends, each with a copy of the game and close to each, can send and receive files locally.
