Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem
Mini-Land Mayhem offers more puzzling levels to solve by manipulating obstacles and objects into directing windup Mario toys to their exit. The game replaces the blocks of previous titles with girders that players can extend between certain points, creating platforms, ramps and barriers as needed. Other objects, such as springboards, can give Minis a boost, and the little Marios can also travel through pipes, climb ladders and grab hammers to defeat enemies.
RATING E for Everyone
PLOT A puzzling time with Mario and the gorilla
DETAILS Nintendo DS, $30
BOTTOM LINE Challenging. Really.
