        Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! (マリオvs.ドンキーコング 突撃!ミニランド Mario vs. Donkī Kongu Totsugeki! Mini Rando?) is a puzzle video game developed by Nintendo Software Technology and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It was announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 and released in North America on November 14, 2010. It is the fourth game in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.

        Gameplay

        Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The puzzle-based gameplay in Mini-Land Mayhem is built upon that of earlier Mario vs. Donkey Kong titles, in which the objective of each level is to lead a number of mechanical Mini-Mario toys to the exit.

        Construction Zone

        The Construction Zone is a level editor that allows the players to design their own levels. It is similar to the editor available in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! but allows the use of all the elements present in the game.[citation needed] Players can upload and share their levels online via Nintendo WiFi Connection.

        Plot

        In the game's opening sequence, Mario and Pauline are sponsoring the grand opening of an amusement park named "Mini-Land". Donkey Kong is the 101st visitor to arrive to the amusement park, and is denied the gift given to the first hundred visitors: a "Mini-Pauline" toy. Infuriated, Donkey Kong kidnaps the real Pauline, prompting Mario, accompanied by toys called Mini-Marios, to give chase aboard a train. Mario and the toys then battle with Donkey Kong at various locations throughout the amusement park. After Donkey Kong has been defeated and Pauline rescued, Mario presents him with a Mini-Pauline toy, which satisfies the ape.
