Unlike in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', Mario is not a playable character, as he plays only a supporting role in this game. Instead, Mini Mario toys appear as playable characters in each level. The objective of each level is to control the Mini Marios, as well as manipulate the environment around them, in order to direct each Mini Mario to a portal-like doorway with a red "M" on top, known as [[Goal Door (Mario vs. Donkey Kong series)|the exit]]. This focus on controlling Minis laid the foundation for future games in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series. Each standard level contains a minimum of two Mini Marios and a maximum of eight. There are 240 Mini Marios in total. | Unlike in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', Mario is not a playable character, as he plays only a supporting role in this game.

==Characters== | |||
[[Mario]], one of the game's titular characters, only plays a minor role in the game, only appearing in cutscenes and assisting the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s during the final battle on the [[Roof (Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis)|Roof]]. Mario is also seen entering each floor of Super Mini Mario World, along with Mini Marios. [[Donkey Kong]] appears in cutscenes and is fought as the boss of each floor; he is also seen entering these floors. [[Pauline]] and [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s also appear in the game's cutscenes. | |||
The cast of characters primarily consists of the [[Mini]] toys, which are the only playable characters in the game. Mini Mario returns from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' as the primary playable character of the Main Game mode. A variant of Mini Mario known as [[Gold Mini Mario]] is introduced, which is worth extra points if it is the last Mini Mario to reach the exit. [[Mini Toad]], [[Mini Peach]], and [[Mini Donkey Kong]] also appear in the game's cutscenes; however, during gameplay, they can only be used in the [[Construction Zone]] in [[Special Kit 1]], [[Special Kit 2]], and [[Special Kit 3]] respectively. All of these Minis behave identically to each other. Each Mini can turn into its [[Fire Mario|fire form]] upon collecting a [[Fire Flower]]. | |||
