How to Play

Guide Mario through puzzle-filled stages to retrieve the stolen Mini-Mario toys and rescue them from Donkey Kong. The core gameplay revolves around navigating obstacles, flipping switches of corresponding colors to alter the level layout, and carrying keys to locked doors within a strict time limit. Mario can perform athletic moves like handstands, handstand jumps, and backflips to reach high platforms, as well as pick up and throw enemies or keys to clear paths and defeat obstacles.

In the second part of each world, you must guide the gathered Mini-Marios into a toy box, protecting them from hazards along the way. The final stage of each world features a boss battle against Donkey Kong, where you must use the environment and thrown objects to defeat him. Focus on planning your route before moving, managing the timer, and utilizing Mario's acrobatic moves to bypass complex traps.

Browser controls and troubleshooting

If the keyboard does not respond, click the game screen first and check the actual key mappings in the player controls. Arrow keys scrolling the page can mean the game does not have input focus.

On a phone, check whether the player provides touch buttons. Try landscape or fullscreen if the controls are too small. After connecting a gamepad, press a button with the game focused and check whether the player recognizes it.

For a black screen or a stalled load, wait briefly before using Reload player or Browse games in the embedded player or play page. Reloading restarts the player and may lose unsaved progress. If no save option is available, do not rely on refreshing to preserve progress.
