Red Girder

Red Girders are a variation of girders that first appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!. As their name shows, they are red in color and a limited amount of them can be drawn using red rivet blocks. They are usually used to keep the Mini characters from falling into traps such as Spikes and can be drawn vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Objects called Girder Pickups also appear, which give the player more Red Girders to use in a level. A large variation of Girder Pickups which add five to the player's Red Girder count appear as well. Every time the player draws a Red Girder a few bonus points will be taken away. If the player removes the Red Girders before finishing a level, they will be given a few extra points. Red Girders and the Pickups are also available for use in the Construction Zone and can be placed in levels. A total of 35 Red Girders and 10 Pickups can be placed in one level. Red Girders and their Pickups also appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars and Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, behaving and being used in the same way. In the former game, they can be used in the Workshop Store and placed in the player's own levels.
