Ahhh..... the good old days of Lemmings. Those weird looking creatures that committed suicide for a living. If only nintendo had a mario version of this old classic.... WELL NOW THEY DO!!!!!!!!! Mario vs Donkey Kong 2:March of the Minis has the same addicting gameplay of Lemmings combined with the fun of Mario and Donkey Kong!! When you start the game, you'll watch a story that takes place at the opening of a new theme-park called Mini-World. Pauline (I think it's the girl from the old donkey kong game) is cutting the ribbon at the grand opening when DK spots her. He takes her to the top of the Theme park..... so the MINI-MARIOS COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!!! you advance further in the game by going through numerous puzzle stages with the Mini Marios. The object of the game is to get all the mini marios to the exit on each puzzle. You get a score at the end of each puzzle. These puzzles are filled with trampolines, coins, enemies switches, and a lot more stuff like that. You can get your score higher by trying to collect coins, Killing enemies, and getting all the mini's in the exit at the same time. The game's pretty darn easy if you just try to get to the exit as fast as possible, but if you try to get all the coins, kill all the enemies,etc., you'll have much more fun with it, and the game's replay value will last much,much longer. At the end of each world you'll fight DK in a boss-fight. These are pretty easy, and they aren't that complex either. The Graphics are great (especially in the cut-scenes), but they look pure-flat. In other words, the graphics aren't 3-D like metroid prime hunters, they're 2-D like a side-scrolling mario game. The sound is what you'd expect in a Mario side-scroller. Cute, annoying, and memorable.
The game also has another pretty fun feature that lets you customize your own levels and trade them with your friends either locally or over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The game also lets you download levels from nintendo that are added weekly. When you progress through the game, you'll unlock construction kits that have certain things you can use to create your levels. Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 is a wonder-full puzzle game for any puzzle nerds out there or lemmings fans. The game sadly doesn't have multiplayer online, but it's one heck of a game that'll keep you coming' for more great addicting action.

I first got this game because I'm used to getting all games of Mario Bros., but I wasn't really expecting anything special out of this one. I couldn't have been more wrong. The general idea of the game resembles the one... Read Full Review
