Mario's Festive Mix-up!

Mario's Festive Mix-up! is a game on the Nintendo Kids Club website.

Gameplay
The player has to complete a sliding puzzle featuring Mario in a winter setting. Before the game starts, they must select a difficulty level, which will determine the number of tiles in the puzzle: nine for Easy and sixteen for Difficult. The base picture will then be shown for five seconds, after which it is scrambled into multiple tiles that the player has to reorder. To move a tile, the player must simply click on it (or swipe it on touchscreen devices) and it will slide into the nearby empty space. When all available tiles are arranged correctly, the empty space is automatically filled in with the tile that completes the puzzle. A window then pops up showing a rating out of three stars based on how much time it took the player to complete the puzzle. Depending on the score, one of three characters also appears in the window: Bowser Jr. at one star, Diddy Kong at two and a Monty Mole at three.
