Super Mini Mario World is a theme park made and maintained by the Mario Toy Company, appearing in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!. The park was created around the Mini Mario toys that appear throughout the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. Other amusement parks hosted by the Mario Toy Company include the Mini Land Theme Park and the Mini Toy Carnival.
Super Mini Mario World appeared as an area in the 2006 version of Camp Hyrule, where it provided information about Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis before its release.
History
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis
The amusement park appears as the main setting of Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. After the success of the Mini Mario toy line in the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong, the Mario Toy Company decided to expand the toy franchise. This expansion included more Mini Toys (Mini Toad, Mini Peach, and Mini Donkey Kong) and an amusement park known as Super Mini Mario World. At the park's opening ceremony, Donkey Kong kidnaps Pauline (who was attending the ceremony) after she chooses Mario's Mini Mario over Donkey Kong's Mini Donkey Kong, leaving it up to Mario and his Mini Marios to rescue her.
The game's main campaign takes place inside the theme park's building, with each floor having a different theme. As the game progresses, Donkey Kong keeps escaping to the next floor until he reaches the roof and is defeated by Mario and the Mini Marios. The game also features a basement with two more Donkey Kong battles. The floors and their themes are as follows:
- B: DK's Hideout
- 1: Mushroom Mayhem
- 2: Tropical Island
- 3: Pipe Works
- 4: Magnet Mania
- 5: Lava Dome
- 6: Toadstool Castle
- 7: Spooky Attic
- 8: Jungle Hijinks
- R: Roof
In addition to the floors seen in the main game, three more themes exclusive to the Construction Zone appear, known as Special Kits 1, 2, and 3. These themes feature the other mini toys instead of the Mini Marios, and their hazards come from various worlds in the game. It is unknown if these Special Kits are supposed to be a part of the theme park or not.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!
After the events of the prior game, the theme park is expanded in the successor Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!. The story of the game is very similar to the first, though there are differences. First, Donkey Kong kidnaps Pauline due to reopening tickets being sold out when he arrives. Second, once he is defeated on the fourth floor, he leaps through the window, causing Mario to have to traverse all four floors again on Plus Mode to defeat him for good. At the end of the game, it is revealed that Donkey Kong and Pauline were testing the Mini Mario toys, eventually passing them due to their success in the game.
Unlike in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, there are now only four floors excluding the basement and roof. The themes of these floors are almost identical to those in the last game (except for Sandstone Stroll, which is a desert-themed world taking assets from Tropical Island from the first game). In Plus Mode (which takes place after Donkey Kong's defeat in Jungle Rumble), the four floors have a + added to the ends of their names (ex. Sandstone Stroll becomes Sandstone Stroll +). The floors are as follows:
- B: Basement
- 1: Mini Mayhem
- 2: Sandstone Stroll
- 3: Magnet Mania
- 4: Jungle Rumble
- R: Rooftop
