'''''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move''''' is an action [[Genre#Puzzle|puzzle]] game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and the fifth game in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. It is the first game in the series for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], and is only available for digital download through the [[Nintendo eShop]]. Like its predecessors, ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', the game features the use of [[Mini]] toys. The basic objective of the game is the same as these games: in each level, the player must guide the [[Mini]]s to the goal within the time limit. In this game, however, each level is divided into tiles, and the player must arrange certain tiles to form a path directing Minis to the goal.


'''''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move''''' (known as '''''Mario & Donkey Kong: Mini Mini Carnival''''' in Japan) is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Nintendo eShop|eShop]] title. It is the fifth installment of the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]].
''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move'' was eventually removed from the 3DS eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the game. However, players who purchased the title before this date can still play it as long as it is on their 3DS device.

===Main Game===
The basic objective of ''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move'' is the same as the previous three games, in that the player must guide the Mini Marios to the goal within the time limit. In this game, however, the path is cut off in sections, and the player must either drag tiles into place or rearrange them (depending on the mode) in order to create a path leading to the goal; filing in the path to the goal causes the mini to automatically speed to the goal; at this point, the timer automatically stops and the player cannot place any more tiles. Additionally, tapping one of the mini icon on the touch screen causes it to have a short burst of speed. If at any point the mini falls off the pathway or is blocked, the player fails. This also occurs if they do not move the mini out of the pipe before a certain amount of time passes, or if the player runs out of time during a stage. The player can use the {{button|3ds|L}} and {{button|3ds|R}} buttons at any time to change the camera angle on a course.
[[File:3DS MarioDKMOTM 022013 Scrn07.png|thumb|A [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] traveling through a level in Mario's Main Event]]
The Main Game mode features four attractions total, each unlocked after collecting a certain number of Stars. Mario's Main Event and Puzzle Palace have 60 levels. By clearing all 60 levels in either of these attractions, an '''Expert Mode''' can be unlocked for each game mode, with an additional 10 levels. Many Mini Mayhem contains 50 levels, while Giant Jungle contains three very large levels. This makes for a total of 203 levels in the game.
*[[Mario's Main Event]] - "''Use the falling tiles to get the Mini to the goal!''"
*[[Puzzle Palace]] - "''Use the tiles given to find the best path for the mini!''" (unlocked by collecting 10 Stars)
*[[Many Mini Mayhem]]  - "''Shift and rotate the tiles to get all the Minis to the goal!''" (unlocked by collecting 20 Stars)
*[[Giant Jungle]] - "''Collect the Stars, and get the Mini all the way to the goal!''" (unlocked by collecting 30 Stars)
Each level in the game consists of a tile-based grid. Minis spawn from one or more green [[Warp Pipe]]s present in the level. Depending on the attraction, the player must use the {{button|3ds|Stylus}} stylus to either drag tiles into place or rearrange them, in order to create a path for the Minis that leads to the goal. If the player has completely filled in the path between any remaining Minis in the level and the goal, the Minis quickly speed towards the goal, and the timer is automatically disabled. Tapping a Mini's icon displayed on the Touch Screen causes the Mini to gain a short burst of speed. The player can use the {{button|3ds|L}} and {{button|3ds|R}} buttons at any time to rotate the camera angle by 90 degrees.


In Mario's Main Event and Giant Jungle, the player gets pieces of pathway by tapping the "tile pipe," which causes a piece to fall in that the player can place on the path. The tile pipe can only hold five tiles at one time, and not clearing one before another enters results in failing. Occasionally, the player may also be given a bomb tile, which removes a tile that has been placed. In some courses, there are also "trash cans," in which the player can place any unneeded tiles; filling them up gives the player a "magic tile" as their next tile, which takes the form of a tile required to fill the path. In Many Mini Mayhem, the player rearrange the given path to guide multiple minis to the goal, and in Puzzle Palace the player must use the tiles given in order to create a path to the goal.
If a Mini's path is not connected to another tile or is blocked by an incorrectly placed path, the Mini will flash red and tremble on the edge of the path. If the Mini trembles for about five seconds, it falls off the path and the player loses the level. This also occurs if a Mini does not leave the Warp Pipe it spawns from for a certain amount of time, if a Mini touches a [[Shy Guy]] without using [[hammer]]s or falls into [[Spike Trap|spike]]s, or if the player runs out of time during a level.  


Within each level in every mode minus Giant Jungle are three [[M-Token]]s; collecting all of them within a level and beating it earns the player a star, which allows them to unlock things such as extra modes and Minis to view.
In Mario's Main Event and Giant Jungle, red tiles slowly drop into the '''tile pipe''', at which point they can be placed into the level to make a path for Minis to walk on. The player can quickly receive the next tile by tapping the '''Next Button''' above the tile pipe. The tile pipe can only hold five tiles at one time; if a sixth tile enters a full tile pipe, it overflows and the player loses the level. Occasionally, the player may also be given a bomb tile, which can be used to remove a red tile. Some levels feature trash cans, which the player can use to discard unnecessary tiles; filling up a trash can gives the player a magic tile as their next tile. In Many Mini Mayhem, the player must rearrange the given path to guide multiple Minis to the goal, and in Puzzle Palace, the player must use the tiles given in order to create a path to the goal.
 
[[File:3DS MarioDKMOTM 022013 Scrn01.png|thumb|left|A Mini Mario collecting coins in the Bonus Game]]
With the exception of Giant Jungle, three [[M-Token]]s are present in every level. If the player collects all three M-Tokens within a level and completes the level, a Star is earned for that level, which allows the player to unlock new game modes and Minis for the Toy Collection.
 
If the player places path tiles that form a loop without a Mini inside of the loop, a trash can is created. If the player forms a loop with a Mini inside, a mode known as '''Loop Up''' is activated, where the tiles forming the loop rise, any red tiles in the tile pipe turn into purple tiles, and the timer temporarily stops. The player must quickly tap the Touch Screen to boost the Mini's speed, allowing it to collect [[+ Clock|timer]]s that appear around the loop to earn extra time for the level. This also allows the Mini to reach and collect M-Tokens on clouds. After a certain amount of time, the tiles forming the loop lower back down, and the white path on each tile in the loop turns into a metal path with bolts, indicating the tiles cannot be raised again.
 
If the player forms a figure-eight loop with a Mini inside, a Bonus Game tile is added to the tile pipe. If a Mini reaches a Bonus Game tile, it is sent to the '''Bonus Game''', where the player can freely control the Mini's direction using the Touch Screen. In the Bonus Game, coins fall from above, which the Mini can collect to earn bonus points. Any M-Tokens still present in the level also appear in the Bonus Game, and can be collected. After a certain amount of time, the Bonus Game ends and the level is automatically completed.
 
If the player plays the game for a certain length of time, a screen is displayed, reminding the player to take a break before they feel tired.

====How to Play====
The Main Game menu features a yellow "?" button in the bottom-right corner of the Touch Screen. Tapping this button enters a '''How to Play''' mode, where the player can view help messages explaining the game's mechanics. One of these messages can also be viewed in each level by tapping the '''How to Play button'''<ref name=manual>''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move'' English digital manual</ref> in the top-left corner of the Touch Screen.


==Modes==
{|class=wikitable
The Main Game mode features four modes total, each unlocked after collecting a certain number of stars. The first two modes have sixty stages each. There are also additional expert levels that can be unlocked in the first two modes by clearing the first 60 stages of each mode.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV8KCdyZdIw</ref> Many Mini Mayhem contains 50 and Giant Jungle contains three.

Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move retains some of the Lemming-like quality of the more recent MvsDK titles, but the drastic changes to the gameplay have resulted in a faster, more free-form experience. It can be as simple or as mind-bending as you want it to be; either way, you'll be satisfied for many hours on end.''"

Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move is an action puzzle game for the Nintendo 3DS and the fifth game in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. It is the first game in the series for the Nintendo 3DS, and is only available for digital download through the Nintendo eShop. Like its predecessors, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, the game features the use of Mini toys. The basic objective of the game is the same as these games: in each level, the player must guide the Minis to the goal within the time limit. In this game, however, each level is divided into tiles, and the player must arrange certain tiles to form a path directing Minis to the goal.

Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move was eventually removed from the 3DS eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the game. However, players who purchased the title before this date can still play it as long as it is on their 3DS device.

Story

From the Introduction tab of the Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move English digital manual:

Following another huge success of the Mini Land Theme Park, the Mario Toy Company has decided to host a Mini Toy Carnival this year!

Donkey Kong™ will not be your foe this time around—he has teamed up with Pauline to run a game arcade called Mini Arcade within the Mini Toy Carnival.

A vast array of attractions awaits you! Can you solve all the levels and overcome the minigames' challenges?

Gameplay

Main Game

A screenshot of Minis on the Move
A Mini Mario traveling through a level in Mario's Main Event

The Main Game mode features four attractions total, each unlocked after collecting a certain number of Stars. Mario's Main Event and Puzzle Palace have 60 levels. By clearing all 60 levels in either of these attractions, an Expert Mode can be unlocked for each game mode, with an additional 10 levels. Many Mini Mayhem contains 50 levels, while Giant Jungle contains three very large levels. This makes for a total of 203 levels in the game.

  • Mario's Main Event - "Use the falling tiles to get the Mini to the goal!"
  • Puzzle Palace - "Use the tiles given to find the best path for the mini!" (unlocked by collecting 10 Stars)
  • Many Mini Mayhem - "Shift and rotate the tiles to get all the Minis to the goal!" (unlocked by collecting 20 Stars)
  • Giant Jungle - "Collect the Stars, and get the Mini all the way to the goal!" (unlocked by collecting 30 Stars)

Each level in the game consists of a tile-based grid. Minis spawn from one or more green Warp Pipes present in the level. Depending on the attraction, the player must use the Stylus stylus to either drag tiles into place or rearrange them, in order to create a path for the Minis that leads to the goal. If the player has completely filled in the path between any remaining Minis in the level and the goal, the Minis quickly speed towards the goal, and the timer is automatically disabled. Tapping a Mini's icon displayed on the Touch Screen causes the Mini to gain a short burst of speed. The player can use the L Button and R Button buttons at any time to rotate the camera angle by 90 degrees.

If a Mini's path is not connected to another tile or is blocked by an incorrectly placed path, the Mini will flash red and tremble on the edge of the path. If the Mini trembles for about five seconds, it falls off the path and the player loses the level. This also occurs if a Mini does not leave the Warp Pipe it spawns from for a certain amount of time, if a Mini touches a Shy Guy without using hammers or falls into spikes, or if the player runs out of time during a level.

In Mario's Main Event and Giant Jungle, red tiles slowly drop into the tile pipe, at which point they can be placed into the level to make a path for Minis to walk on. The player can quickly receive the next tile by tapping the Next Button above the tile pipe. The tile pipe can only hold five tiles at one time; if a sixth tile enters a full tile pipe, it overflows and the player loses the level. Occasionally, the player may also be given a bomb tile, which can be used to remove a red tile. Some levels feature trash cans, which the player can use to discard unnecessary tiles; filling up a trash can gives the player a magic tile as their next tile. In Many Mini Mayhem, the player must rearrange the given path to guide multiple Minis to the goal, and in Puzzle Palace, the player must use the tiles given in order to create a path to the goal.

With the exception of Giant Jungle, three M-Tokens are present in every level. If the player collects all three M-Tokens within a level and completes the level, a Star is earned for that level, which allows the player to unlock new game modes and Minis for the Toy Collection.

If the player places path tiles that form a loop without a Mini inside of the loop, a trash can is created. If the player forms a loop with a Mini inside, a mode known as Loop Up is activated, where the tiles forming the loop rise, any red tiles in the tile pipe turn into purple tiles, and the timer temporarily stops. The player must quickly tap the Touch Screen to boost the Mini's speed, allowing it to collect timers that appear around the loop to earn extra time for the level. This also allows the Mini to reach and collect M-Tokens on clouds. After a certain amount of time, the tiles forming the loop lower back down, and the white path on each tile in the loop turns into a metal path with bolts, indicating the tiles cannot be raised again.

If the player forms a figure-eight loop with a Mini inside, a Bonus Game tile is added to the tile pipe. If a Mini reaches a Bonus Game tile, it is sent to the Bonus Game, where the player can freely control the Mini's direction using the Touch Screen. In the Bonus Game, coins fall from above, which the Mini can collect to earn bonus points. Any M-Tokens still present in the level also appear in the Bonus Game, and can be collected. After a certain amount of time, the Bonus Game ends and the level is automatically completed.

If the player plays the game for a certain length of time, a screen is displayed, reminding the player to take a break before they feel tired.

How to Play

The Main Game menu features a yellow "?" button in the bottom-right corner of the Touch Screen. Tapping this button enters a How to Play mode, where the player can view help messages explaining the game's mechanics. One of these messages can also be viewed in each level by tapping the How to Play button[1] in the top-left corner of the Touch Screen.

Reception

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Nintendo 3DS Lucas M. Thomas, IGN 7/10 "The default game mode of Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move is little more than a Nintendo-themed reskin of the 25-year-old Pipe Mania, and frustrates with its randomness. The much better Puzzle Palace and Many Mini Mayhem modes, thankfully, leave us with a good game overall. Use of more appropriate characters, better handling of the random tile dispenser, and a more robust Create & Share mode might've made this one something truly memorable."
Nintendo 3DS Dan Whitehead, Eurogamer 8/10 "Minis on the Move is a thoughtfully constructed puzzle game, built around an appealingly simple premise that then gets reexamined and evolved in multiple ingenious ways. More than that, it shows Nintendo adapting to changes in the online and mobile market that suggest the best is yet to come."
Nintendo 3DS Tony Ponce, Destructoid 9/10 "A part of me misses the classic arcade action that seemed poised to make a comeback at the start of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, but I'm still glad Nintendo decided to explore new avenues for the Minis. Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move retains some of the Lemming-like quality of the more recent MvsDK titles, but the drastic changes to the gameplay have resulted in a faster, more free-form experience. It can be as simple or as mind-bending as you want it to be; either way, you'll be satisfied for many hours on end."
