Nintendo Icons Deliver One of the Best DS Games of 2006
While the DS is not short on innovative games, I've always felt that the vast majority of them always have had some flaw that prevents them from being games you want to come back to and play again. That is why I'm pleased to say that Mario vs. Donkey Kong: March of the Minis is both fun and innovative. This platformer/puzzle game hybrid sees Mario attempting rescue a woman in distress from the love-sick ape, Donkey Kong. Instead of going himself, Mario uses an army of wind-up toy replicas aka the mini marios.^M
My 6 yr old and 3 yr old enjoy this game
This game feels a bit like a Tetris or other puzzle games. To win you navigate the Mini Marios through increasingly complex mazes. The catch is the Mini Marios are simulated wind up toys who can only walk in straight lines and jump. You have to intentionally bounce them off walls and jump onto platforms to move them around. It turns out to be very fun navigating all the Marios through the board and trying to successfully get all the Marios safely home.^M
Getting better and better and better!
Some have kinda trashed this game because it isn't exactly like the first game. But I say; if you want to play the same game, play the old game. This game is fantastically fun. Also, because this game is played exclusively with the stylus anybody can play this game! ^M
