Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! is an action
puzzle game for the
Nintendo DS. It is the fourth game in the
Mario vs. Donkey Kong series and a follow-up to
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! Notably, it is also the final
Super Mario game released for the console, being released in North America on November 14, 2010, Japan and Taiwan on December 2, 2010, Australia on February 3, 2011, and Europe on February 4, 2011. 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.
