''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'' features a less detailed story with slight changes from ''March of the Minis''; however, the most major differences between the two games center around their gameplay. ''Minis March Again!'' removes direct control of the Minis, including the ability to make Minis jump and change directions at will using the {{button|DS|stylus}} stylus. Instead, after a Mini is activated by tapping it with the stylus, it moves automatically. Minis also automatically jump whenever they reach ground one block above them. If a Mini falls from a height of seven to nine blocks, it becomes momentarily dizzy and stunned. Aside from activating the Minis, the player can only change the environment around them to direct them to the exit. Minis are now required to reach the exit within a set amount of time; otherwise, the exit is boarded shut and the player loses the level. Additionally, every Mini is required to reach the exit to complete the level. | ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'' features a less detailed story with slight changes from ''March of the Minis''; however, the most major differences between the two games center around their gameplay.

Many level mechanics return, but most designs include a large focus on the redesigned [[Pink Block]] mechanic, as referenced in the game's logo. The Construction Zone also returns from the second game, but ''Minis March Again!'' has some different objects available. Plus Mode, which first appeared in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' and was not included in the second game, is also available after beating the first four worlds. | Many level mechanics return, but most designs include a large focus on the redesigned [[Pink Block]] mechanic, as referenced in the game's logo.

{{main|Construction Zone}} | |||
The '''Construction Zone''' game mode returns from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'', allowing the player to create, play, and share their own custom levels. The level editor in this mode is very similar to the editor in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'', allowing the player to place elements on a grid to build a level. | |||

After three levels with a particular type of mini are completed on the Rooftop floor, the player will be able to switch most Mini Marios in the game with that type of mini. This is done by tapping the "Characters" button in the Showroom section of the Options menu. The only levels where this change does not take effect are key and Donkey Kong levels, where Mini Marios are always used. | After three levels with a particular type of mini are completed on the Rooftop floor, the player will be able to switch most Mini Marios in the game with that type of mini.

==Items== | ==Floors== | ||
Each floor of Super Mini Mario World has its own theme and unique elements that set it apart. They each consist of eight regular levels (one of which is a key level,) a DK boss battle, and a [[Special Level]]. | |||
In American and Japanese regions, the floor count for all floors excluding the Basement and Rooftop simply goes from "Floor 1" to "Floor 4", whereas in all other regions, the count starts from "Ground Floor" and ends at "Floor 3". | |||
After the player defeats Donkey Kong in Jungle Rumble, a mode with new levels, Plus Mode, is unlocked. In these levels, the player can change the environment only after all Minis are initiated at once by pressing the "START" button and waiting for the 3-2-1 countdown. | |||
