Spongecave rates this game: 5/5Guide the new hit toys 'Mini Mario' to Donkey Kong which stole Pauline! Use your brains and your Mini Mario's to guide your way to victory to defeat Donkey Kong and save Pauline once and for all!
Pontinho rates this game: 5/5The gameplay is great, and with 8 worlds with 9 levels, a minigame, and a boss fight each, there's a lot of value here. Not to mention that players can create their own levels, download levels from their friends and from Nintendo. Besides all the value packed into this game, the graphics and sound are very polished, not unlike the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! (マリオVSドンキーコング ミニミニ再行進!Mario tai Donkī Kongu Mini Mini sai Kōshin!) is a puzzle video game for the Nintendo DSi. Announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009, it is the third game in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. It was released via the Nintendo DSiWare download service in North America on June 8, 2009,[1] in Europe and Australia on August 21, 2009[2] and in Japan on October 7, 2009. It is the first DSiWare game to feature a level editor in which players can create custom-made levels and send them to players on other devices via a wireless Internet connection.[3]
A sequel, entitled Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, was released in 2010 on the Nintendo DS.
Gameplay[edit]
Minis March Again features puzzle-solving gameplay, which was made popular in the previous two games in the series.[4] Just as in the game Lemmings, Mario must lead his Mini-Mario toys to the end of the level.[5] Like with Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, players do not control Mario but instead miniature wind-up versions of Mario, Princess Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong—referred to as 'Minis'—in order to rescue Pauline from the game's antagonist, Donkey Kong. In each level, players must get all their Minis to the end of the level at a designated exit while avoiding obstacles and enemies (mostly consisting of enemies from the other games in the Mario series).[6]
One difference of the predecessor Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis is that all of the end of level bonuses are now required. In the previous game, extra points were earned by getting all Minis to the exit, getting them to the exit with no long time intervals between any two Minis, and getting them to the exit without stopping any of them. Also, in this game, all minis must reach the door in time, otherwise, the door will lock up, preventing from any minis from entering the door, and the player loses a life. If a mini falls from 7-9 blocks, it becomes dizzy and stunned for a moment.
Like with the first installment, lives return to this game. The player loses a life if the time runs out, a mini touches spikes or an dangerous obstacle, falls from a height of 10 blocks or more, runs into an enemy, or if the next mini does not make it to the door on time. The player can also lose a life if they restart or exit the level before completing it the first time, like with the first installment. The game ends when all lives are lost. In this game, the player cannot control the minis. Only items and obstacles can be used to control their direction. In each level, there is a Mini Mario card that each one must be collected (eight scattered in the levels and one in the Donkey Kong battle) to spell 'M-I-N-I-M-A-R-I-O'. When they are all collected, the player will unlock the special level.
At the end of each floor, the player must fight Donkey Kong to go to the next floor. The player always starts the battle with 6 Mini-Marios and Donkey Kong also starts at 6 hit points too, just like he did in the previous installment. The player must shoot the Mini Mario in a cannon to pummel Donkey Kong, except for the fourth floor, that if a Mini-Mario tries to hit Donkey Kong, it breaks. The player also has three minutes to defeat Donkey Kong. Sometimes, Donkey Kong will send blue clocks down, that when collected, it adds 30 seconds to the time remaining. Starting with the fourth floor, there will be steamed clocks that removes 30 seconds from the timer if collected. If time runs out or the player loses all six Mini-Marios, the player will lose a life and retry the level. There is also an 'O' card in the Donkey Kong stages.
The game features a level editor called the Construction Zone in which players can select the types and locations of power-ups, enemies, and traps in custom-made levels. More items will be added, and more Characters will be unlocked as you progress through the main game. Players can then either play them locally or share them with friends on other Nintendo DSi devices via a wireless Internet connection. Changes to the level editor have been made such as increasing the number of levels one could create from only 8 stages in March of the Minis to 140 stages in Minis March Again.[3] Also, unlike March of the Minis, created and downloaded levels use the same counter; there can only be 140 levels between the 2 types.
Story[edit]
Mario and Pauline are selling Mini-Mario toys. There is a long line. At the end of the line is Donkey Kong. As the line moves along, Donkey Kong finally ends up in the front. Just then, the Mini-Mario toys run out. In rage, Donkey Kong snatches Pauline from Mario. As Mario trips and tears Pauline's dress in pursuit of them, he sees the Mini Mario toys standing before him. Thus, Mario gets the idea of using them to catch Donkey Kong. After the credits, a secret ending appears. When Mario defeats Donkey Kong, he finds Pauline near a window, Donkey Kong turns out the lights, grabs Pauline again, and jumps out the window with her. Once again, Mario must play the Plus Floors to get Pauline back.After Mario plays all the Plus Floors and gets Pauline back he discovers that Donkey Kong was actually helping Mario by testing the minis.
Development[edit]
Minis March Again! was announced on June 2, 2009 by Nintendo during E3.[6]

The game received 'favorable' reviews according to video game review aggregatorMetacritic.[7]IGN ranked it as the 14th best DSiWare game, praising it for helping them become less disillusioned with the service after many of its titles proved to be rehashes of retail Nintendo DS games. They also praised it for being significantly more customizable than its predecessor.[14]
