Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is an upcoming game for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. As the sixth Mario vs. Donkey Kong game, it will be the first one to also be released on a home console. The game shares many elements with most of the series, and also debuts new features such as sharing custom stages through Miiverse. Parts and new minis can be unlocked in the Workshop Store after paying for them with stars, which can also be given to other players as a "tip" for their shared stages. The game is exclusive to the Nintendo eShop, but not in Japan. The Wii U version requires 0.93 GB of memory to be installed, and the Nintendo 3DS version 3200 blocks.

Story
Donkey Kong kidnaps Pauline, leaving Mario and his force of Mini Marios to rescue her.

Gameplay
Players are able to drag objects such as girders, springs, conveyor belts, pipes, and elevators to guide the Mini Marios to the ends of levels, similar to Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!. There are also separate doors for different Minis in some levels.

The game also includes the Workshop, where players can make their own levels. Parts from the Workshop Store can be used in the Workshop to customize the look of created levels. Levels can be shared trough the Community option, which works with Miiverse. Players can share, play, and 'Yeah' levels. Players can also tip Stars they earned in the main game to level creators.
