Story[]
Mario Toy Company returns and is mentioned at the beginning of the game. It starts with a commercial talking about the Super Mini Mario World Theme Park which is an amusement park about the Mini Marios, Mini Peachs, Mini Toads and Mini Donkey Kongs. It then shows a crowd of Toads watching Pauline and Mario cut the ribbon to open the park. Donkey Kong is in the crowd, and falls in love with Pauline. He comes with a Mini Donkey Kong to give to her, but Mario hands out a Mini Mario. She chooses the Mini Mario, so Donkey Kong is heart-broken and breaks down a sales post of Mini Marios, even crushing one with his feet. He then heads toward the elevator and grabs Pauline on his way as well pushing Mario down on the floor. As Donkey Kong heads toward the elevator, Mario gets up and tries to get to the elevator, but it is too late - Donkey Kong brought her up to the roof of the building. Mario does not know what to do until two freed yet survived Mini Marios come to offer help. After going through eight different floors, Mario and the Mini Marios reach the roof, where they defeat Donkey Kong. After that, Mario rushes through a door on the roof, and sees that Pauline is safe. Pauline then cuddles up with a Mini Donkey Kong and kisses it, making Donkey Kong happy and forgiven.
