The Mini Land Theme Park,[1] also known as Mini-Land,[2] is an amusement park built by the Mario Toy Company. It follows the appearance of Super Mini Mario World.
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, Mario and Pauline celebrate the grand opening of Mini-Land. The Mario Toy Company gives away its newest toy, Mini Pauline, to the first 100 guests to the park. Despite cutting in line, Donkey Kong ends up being too late to receive his own Mini Pauline, setting him into a fit of rage. He then kidnaps Pauline, causing Mario and the Minis to chase Donkey Kong across each attraction in Mini-Land. After defeating Donkey Kong on the park's Ferris wheel twice, he is placated when Mario gives him his own Mini Pauline toy. Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pauline ride the Ferris wheel while the credits roll.
The Mini Toy Carnival, which appears in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, is hosted by the Mario Toy Company after the success of the Mini Land Theme Park. The Japanese title of Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars (Mario buiesu Donkī Kongu Minna de Mini Rando, or "Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land with Everyone"), references Mini-Land, despite the location not appearing in that game. The world Merry Mini-land from The Nintendo Switch remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong is possibly based on the area, more specifically Coaster Hills.
