Story
The Mario Toy Company has made so much money off of the Mini Mario toys that they've decided to open a theme park. Donkey Kong kidnaps the guest of honor, the beautiful Pauline, at the grand opening of Super Mini Mario World, and takes her to the top of the toy company. You must direct your army of mini Mario toys against DK and his crew of familiar baddies in order to rescue Pauline.
Gameplay
The game is played by directing your mini Marios around obstacles and enemies to the stage exit. At least one mini must make it to the exit or the game will be over. You must work your way through the building and rescue the distressed damsel.
Controls
The Touch Screen is the primary means of controlling the minis. Drawing lines through the minis will direct their movement. Drawing a horizontal line through a mini will cause it to move in the drawn direction, drawing a vertical line up from a mini will make him jump.
Minis automatically jump one square, and will automatically turn around when they reach a wall. Minis will also march right off cliffs, so be careful.
Floors
There are 9 floors, numbered 1 through 8, and the roof. Each floor is made up of 9 rooms, a mini game, and a DK battle. The rooms must be cleared in order to progress to the next level. Each room also contains a Mini Mario Card. Collect all 9 cards from a floor to unlock the mini game. Clear all the rooms, and unlock the DK Battle.
Each floor has its own Construction Kit, a template of that is used to design the rooms in that floor.
