Action-Puzzler for Nintendo DS Combines Classic Characters and Creative Challenges

REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 15, 2010 – Everybody knows the holiday season can get hectic, but starting this week, Nintendo is offering a new kind of mayhem that families can actually look forward to. Mario vs. Donkey Kong™: Mini-Land Mayhem! is now available exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ family of hand-held video game systems, placing two of the world’s most beloved video game characters at the center of a frantic action-puzzle adventure with a Mini Mario twist. Anyone who has a video game fan on his or her gift list knows that Mario™ and Donkey Kong™ always mean great fun.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! transports players to Mario’s new theme park, Mini-Land, where the lovely Pauline has been kidnapped by Donkey Kong. To rescue her, players must guide pint-sized Mini Marios through more than 200 levels, each filled with obstacles and traps set by Donkey Kong himself. Using simple stylus controls, players can place girders to cross pits, build conveyor belts, set springs or strategically place warp pipes to make their way to the next level. The new Mini Pauline joins the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series’ roster of familiar toys (including Mini Mario, Mini Toad™, Mini Princess and Mini Donkey Kong).
