'''Sandstone Stroll''', also called '''Floor 2''' ('''Floor 1''' in the PAL version), is the second floor in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''. It introduces new mechanics to the game, such as [[Color Switch]]es (which are used here to extend or retract gates and bridges of matching color), [[Warp Pipe|Pipes]], [[Warp Pipe#Mario vs. Donkey Kong series|Split Pipes]] and [[Box Spring]]s. It also formally introduces [[Hammer]]s as a means to attack enemies, although they could previously be used in [[Room 1-SP]] on the [[Mini Mayhem|first floor]]. [[Shy Guy (toy)|Shy Guys]] and [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s also debut in Sandstone Stroll, although only the former can be attacked with Hammers. Once [[Donkey Kong]] is defeated on this floor, the Sandstone Stroll Construction Kit becomes available in the Construction Zone, containing all features present on this floor.

The floor's backdrop resembles a desert oasis with tropical plants, Egyptian pyramids and an orange sky. The soundtrack is reused from [[Tropical Island]] in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''.

==Plus Mode==
In Plus Mode, this floor is subtitled '''Floor 2+''' ('''Floor 1+''' in the PAL version). It adds a new mechanic to the game, [[Rotate Pipe]]s, and features elements previously absent on this floor's Normal Mode counterpart, such as [[Blue Spring]]s and [[Pokey (toy)|Pokeys]]. All of these elements are added to the Sandstone Stroll Construction Kit once this floor is beaten on Plus Mode.

The background of this floor is almost the same as in Normal Mode, with the only difference being the light-blue sky, which also slightly modifies the color palette of all backdrop elements.
