mario vs. donkey kong: mini-land mayhem!

They’ll turn the other way if they hit a wall and only stop once they reach their destination a little wooden door with a star on it. Giving the wind-up chaps a quick tap with your stylus (there’s typically two or three in a given level), will set them off on an infinite march in the direction they’re facing. The Minis made their début in Mario Vs Donkey Kong 2, which Mini-Land Mayhem! shares much in common with. Of course this isn’t the first game to feature the little clockwork plumbers. I still feel sorry for Peach though, poor girl. Thankfully, the puzzling on offer in Mini-Land Mayhem! is of a high enough calibre to forgive the Italian stallion for his two-timing shenanigans almost entirely. So, not only is he a cheating narcissist, he’s also too lazy to rescue Pauline himself. Karma’s a bitch, eh Mario?Īlthough it’s fine for Mario to run off with another woman, it’s not OK for DK to run off with his, so Mario rounds up the little clockwork dolls he’s made in his own image (vain much?), and sets them to work getting her back. After queuing for all that time, he’s not too chuffed about being jipped of a doll and, in a haze of anger, decides to take the next best thing: Pauline herself.

Things go swimmingly right up until the 101st customer rolls up: Donkey Kong, no less. Anyway – Mario’s questionable morals aside – it’s all set to be a stonking day. Inviting his old flame as an honorary guest is one thing, but Mario really takes the biscuit when he decides to give out dolls of her to Mini-Land’s first 100 customers. Pauline? While this floozy might have been on the scene back when he was still known as Jumpman, that doesn’t excuse the fact that our Italian plumber is courting Peach these days. To really make it a day to remember, Mario invites his girlfriend Pauline along as the guest of honour. The sun is high in a cloudless sky, the roller coasters are glistening with fresh WD40 and pesky Bowser is nowhere to be seen. The grand opening of the Mini-Land amusement park is set to be a monumental day.
