- The Mini Mario's return. And this time, they've taken over the whole game. They're everywhere I tells ya! March of Mini's is a pretty divisive game. But, let's give it a fair shot.

The irony of a goomba talking about the toys being dummies for mindlessly walking to their doom is not lost on me
Walking back and forth between the pipes has awakened his third eye and he now understands ledges

The pipes really help in that regard.

It stands for Circus

OBJECTION!:
The online mode DID indeed let you download levels from all over the internet, it is where the bulk of the fun comes from with this game.
Overruled 👨⚖:
The whole game sucks, because the toy gimmick isn't very polished and overall frustrating plus compare to the past games the level design and gameplay are a complete downgrade. I say this as a newcomer to this games so unlike you I am not blinded by nostalgia.
@@gjahmato8704 I'm also a newcomer to this series, it's the only Mario VS. DK game I ever played.
That being said It was a long ass time ago, but also consider this: console games with level creation tools and the ability to share them online were few and far between. I understand the game doesn't hold up but any game is made 1000x better by including a level editor.
Especially as an aspiring artist, it was "the shit"
It might be "meh" game now, but back when it had full online functionality it was very enjoyable and I'd argue it still would be.
@@D2Davis I see your point
The Mini Mario games really got better with the carnival themed one. The levels were better, the controls were simplified, they varied things up with keys and doors you had to put Minis in in order, just a much more quality game.
Edit: It’s called Mini-Land Mayhem, thanks Richard Gibson!
actually i played them all on release (except that shitty pseudo 3D one) and ive gotta say my favorite one is the 2nd one... and the gb and gba one ofc
@@skywalker5903 Was the 3d one really that bad?
@@danielj8085 I mean it was 9.99 i think so its a bit unfair to compare but i did not like it that much. It played like one of these pipe builder games if you get what im saying.
Ryca 1408 mini land mayhem was the shit
Mini-Land Mayhem was my childhood, I loved that game so much
I had only played Mario VS. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! which I think is an amazing game so when I tried this I hated it, but it's interesting to hear your perspective, great video as always!
Mini-Land Mayhem is really good, I wasted so many hours in the stage builder as a kid
@@azi7371 Godddd, I'm in the same boat. Wasted a lot of time making stages and everything.
EDIT: Oops, mistook this game for Minis March Again. ...I think.
Ah, Mini-Land Mayhem... The game I never actually managed to beat, but sunk countless hours into anyways, because I’m a total sucker for a good level editor.
Mini Land Mayhem is the best out of all the Mario vs Donkey Kong games in my opinion
Same here. I’ve only played Mini-Land Mayhem and I loved that game. I’ve never played March of the Minis before, but I’ll give it a shot someday.
Definitely overhated and underrated. I loved this game, and beat it as well. Spent hours making levels and just messing around in the Construction Zone. Actually one of my favourite DS games.
I totally agree! I just started playing the game after playing Mini-Land Mayhem in 2018 and think it's really good.
Are you sure you don’t mens the sequel?
I really liked it and even now but the sequels are better imo
I think it's over hated cause of how basic it is in comparison to every other game and even then the games aren't that special so that explains it somewhat
You should do Mario V.S. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem next! Would love to hear what you have to say about that game
That game, along with mario party ds, were my fave ds games ever!
@@boop53 ohh same well I perfered Mario kart ds but I had Mario party ds I played it a lot never got past the first stage though
Or Mario VS Donkey Kong Minis March Again
Thats the one i grew up the most with
Forgot that there was a Minis March Again (3rd game)?
next time do a cosplay as pauline
Wow
She hot
Rise of Lyric is buggy
Yes
Do you want us to break our “streak”?
So he's finaly back, recording for you. If you know the words than you can join in to. Get your DS ready if you wanna game, cuz this goomba's isolation has made him in-sane!
Underrated?
L! G! Lonely! Goomba!
@@rockmanxremix3483 and then there's mini Mario! He's dead.
@@chiefspartan02 a man of culture I see
I actually smiled like an idiot when I heard the intro. Mad nostalgia right there.
Only og's remember when the intro said, i guess ill play this gameboy or ds instead of guess ill keep on gaming for the rest of my life
I don't care what people say I'll always like this game.
Edit: I also really love the game after it
Yeah, Mini-land Mayhem was pretty good too!
@@Mini-ze6sl yeah.
Same. Edit: Read my next comment.
@@Mini-ze6sl I was actually confusing this game for the DSiware sequel Mini's March Again but the custom levels was one of my favorite features in that game.
The sequel was the bomb
5:52 - DK having a bit of KONGstipation.
Man Goomba sure has gotten more positive over the years. I wonder how old he is? Maybe early 30s?
That’s years of being stuck between two pipes for ya
My brother actually got March of the minis for getting an A on his test while I got a war machine figure.
Eventually when he gave it to my other brother ae played it like it was Mario maker due to the course creation.
Never owned this one though.
This is March of the Minis
@@Whispernyan I meant mini land mayham.
Is it bad that this comment gave me nostalgia.........it makes me think back to going to toysrus to buy DS games for doing something good.
This game was alright but I really miss the fun puzzle platformer style
Lonely Goomba feels the same way.
Aw man I remember playing the shit out of this game growing up especially with the level creator, esepecially since I got this as a Birthday present along with Mario Kart DS from one of my ade teachers
Edit: Never mind it was Mini-Land Mayhem I owner, not this game, I'm stupid
Ha ha same hear
I mistook it as well god mini land mayhem was foos
Mini Mario Minis March again.
Basically Mario is selling himself. And DK wants in on the action.
So he becomes the worst product manager.
This was my introduction to the Mario VS DK series, and I've been a huge fan ever since. This video was a joy, great job Goomba! 😃
I do wish that they had kept the DK 94 gameplay or even had simply incorporated gameplay in the NSMB series.
the level editor in this game so SOOOOO much fun. I could sit with it in hours
Honestly I always thought that this game as a less fun version of lemmings. Glad that my judgment wasn't wrong. If they wanted to make a lemmings inspired game, they should have just went with any other theming other than Mario versus donkey kong.
imagine if hey pikmin were a lemmings like...
Bruh this game was amazing I always went back to it. This is an underrated gem. I honestly had no problems with controlling the Mario’s and found it fun multitasking each Mario. Gold started every level and always replayed the game
FUN FACT: The C on those “donkey king toys” stands for “circus”, because their official names are “circus kongs” because the way they throw the mini marios into the air is kinda like juggling. Sometimes they’ll ACTUALLY juggle them
Can’t believe I ever wanted this as a young lad, it really does seem thoroughly uninteresting
I loved it as a kid! It's still a really fun puzzle game, if you don't focus on getting the highest rank.
I remember this game. It was good times and personally liked the new minis.
Earlier than Mini-lad at a preschool.
I had March, March Again, and Mini-Land Mayhem growing up and man I loved them all. I specifically remember loving Mayhem the most, so many great memories with that game, I hope you end up talking about that one at some point!
1:25 This line hits harder right now.
ok that's pretty funny. Might post that to twitter
Legit my favorite Mario game. Love to see this game even just getting attention. It’s like no one even talks about it.
I LOVED this game when I was little. I literally played this all the damn time, because I just had so much fun with it, especially the level creator. Now looking at it, it looks like they borrowed some code from this game and implemented it into Mario maker, which is really cool!
0:37 25% of the paper Mario franchise
Nah, they can accept change, but only when it’s for the better and not the garbage paper Mario has been getting the past few entries
@@theplinko9840 I mean, I thought origami king was pretty good.
@@joshua9832 origami king gameplay is bad
@@Kimarnic I personally enjoyed the puzzle solving of it. I thought it was fun, but the community was too toxic so I didn’t say anything, and look what happened
@@joshua9832 it’s fine if you think it’s good, but it’s a far cry from what made the series so great to begin with. Like I said, people are usually fine with change, as long as it’s a good change. Just look at super, which is easily the most different game in the series and is still considered one of the better ones.
HOLY SHIT THE LONLEY GOOMBAS STILL ALIVE
Can't wait for Goomba to review Miniland Mayhem, I love that game
I really enjoy this game thought...it’s odd.
However it is a step up from the previous game. (In my opinion)
DK ‘94 is better however.
Goodness it has been a long time,
I love watching this Channel
I remember when I was a kid, I had no idea what he was saying
I like how every other complaint is an obvious nod to how Mini-Land Mayhem does the same thing but better.
Played this a lot as a kid. So glad to see you actually review it
Dude I forget about TLG sometimes but when I remember him the nostalgia hits me ❤️
The C on the tie could be Cranky.
Pauline probably remembers Cranky Kong as the original Donkey Kong, the DK we know now is just said to be an older DK Jr, if I'm not mistaken.
Happy 2021 Lonely Goomba!!
I remember this game. The level editor was the only good thing about this game, otherwise it's a dumbed down version of the first game with touch controls shoved down your throat.
Mini-Mario
Mini-Donkey Kong
Mini-Toad
Mini-Peach
But no Mini-Goomba and Mini-Pauline, shame on you Nintendo, shame on you.
Hey goomba, just wanted to say thanks for sticking around. Most youtubers of your caliber have mysteriously disappeared.
Then again, you can't exactly leave 😅
Thank you for that.
Don't know what my first game actually was in this genre, but I did grew up with the Mini Mario's, which I really loved. The game play was very good, I like how every theme of a world was visualized through concept and how it got people to get creative. Because I (still) have the original DS, I played the playstyle de Advance game had, which definitely had it's charm. I think Mario VS Donkey deserves its own video up to this day because of all the different playstyles it had. There's actually a lot to be said about it.
But that doesn't change the fact I really love doing the tricks as mario (2004), doing minigames from miniland Mayhem and playing created games I made for myself (just not other online created games X)
So excited to see your video pop up in my notifications.
I really loved the level creator I would spend hours playing it, I can’t believe someone would actually talk about this game lol
March of the Minis was alright, it's not bad, but it needed improvement, which Miniland Mayhem delivers for the most part.
i had all the mini mario series when i was younger, i enjoyed them a hella lot!
It is a sad day when Lonely Goomba has to worry about being demonetized. I still remember the “kid friendly channel” troll all these years later.
That joke got me in so much trouble when I was younger btw
hey man!! just came to check in on your channel after a few years. i hope you're doing well
This game is a classic and definitely needs a return with some adjustments AND Minis March again
Since that game was great too
Things to note a mini map was planned for the game and can be seen in a prototype of the game
The C stands for Circus Kong
I think people hate it because there no more...
*HARDCORE PARKOUR!*
*WOO!*
*RIGHT BEHIND YOU ANDY!*
This was like one of my first DS games and basically my introduction to the Mario Vs Donkey Kong series. Which led me to getting and playing the entire series
There were twelve DLC levels made by Nintendo that you could download using the Receive function in this game.
I'm Very Glad that your talking about the Mario Vs Donkey Kong Series, This series is kinda a bit underrated so I'm Glad your talking about them and doing a great work of it, keep up the great stuff man!
I played a bit of this game once, and I liked it. Controlling the Mini-Marios is quite a novel gimmick, and the levels had decent ideas.
I grew up with this game and it’s good to see Goomba reviewing it :)
I never actually grew up with march of the minis. I actually grew up with Mini's March Again. It was a DsiWare exclusive and I wanna say it's kind of like the lost levels but for Mario Vs Donkey Kong 2.
Super fun game for the puzzle enjoyer.
I played the DSiWare version of this game. It was essentially the same game in terms of mechanics and gimmicks.
It was basically an expansion pack of the original with new levels. Even kept the level editor.
Lonely Goomba: 2:40
Also Lonely Goomba: 5:50
Yo, I played this when I was young. I got that game because I really enjoyed Mini March Again (MvDK on the DSi) and Mini Land Mayhem (Second game on the normal DS). The way you controls the Mini-Marios were unexpectedly different to what I got used to, as you have much more control on them. I managed to beat the game at some point, and even 100% complete it! You may wonder how much I was annoyed by accidental Mini-Toy stopping and how much I had to endure it.
Now let's talk about the level editor : Oh boy I did spend soooo much time on this! It may have sucked that you are limited with the assets you can use because you have to choose a construction kit, but the special kits grants you alot of thing, especially special 3. Special kits also brings in the reason why Mini-Toad, Mini-Peach and Mini-DK exists in this game in the first place, as you'll be able to use them in those said kits.
I can't believe how a single, lonelly Goomba can bring me so much nostalgia!
Man, I wish to make a game with the same gameplay as the latest MvDK games, but with much more improvements (And some originality to make it an inspired/indie game rather than a fan-game, because... You know... Nintendo is Nintendo). I would also like to bring back assets from *EVERY* MvDK games + Amiibo Chalenge (OK maybe except the GBA game) so that the player's imagination can go absolutely wild when creating levels!
I got really confused because the Japanese title of the 2nd DS game can be interpreted as "March of the Minis" and the first DS game on the DS isn't called 2, but just Mario V DK with a subtitle that includes the word "mini land"
The first DS one is Mario VS DK Attack Mini Land, and the second one is Mario VS DK 2 Mini Mini March, if anyone is wondering.
I really hope that someday LonelyGoomba will do a review on Mario vs DK mini land mayhem.
You might be in luck 👀
Mini Land Mayhem is an amazing game and a very underrated one at that
2:42 the "C" is stands for "Crumpy Kong(s)"
I really enjoyed this game. But I think my favorite part is honestly the stylized backgrounds. They remind me of SNES in a way, just super charming. It’s a joy to play, criticisms notwithstanding.
I believe the C stands for capture
If he's at the Ds now, in his intro, then He'll get to the switch in the next 5 to 10 years XD
Every time you upload i remember that you exist.
I only played the DSI shop "Minis March Again" and I gotta say glad I didn't have to physically guide the minis so much in that one
Pauline's ballistics are pretty intense, and it's very suspect that Mario still hangs out with her and Peach doesn't seem to care
I used to draw levels on graph paper when I was at school and then go home and make them in the level editor.
Loving all these videos
I had this game on my DS years ago. I enjoyed messing with the level editor XD
Legit this was probably the very first DS game I got alongside Mario Kart DS when I was a kid.
I will say the stage creator is perhaps the best part of the game along with the secret boss battles.
As usual, your dark humor is on point!
Next, Miniland mayhem. It’s March of the Minis, but so much better
I used to love these games, and glad I just found your channel it’s great
I LOVE Mario vs Donkey Kong, expecially the DS games. The level editors are amazing, I remember making levels and sharing them with my classmates
I’m ngl, I definitely have a ton of nostalgia for this game
I played HOURS upon HOURS as a kid
It's always a nice day when the Lonely Goomba uploads.
the c on his tie stands for "circus" cuz those enemies are called circus kongs
Both the first game and it's sequel are awesome, but in different ways.
...which Mario vs. Donkey Kong games did I have? I only remember how they worked. The first one had the pink blocks, but you couldn't stop the minis once they started moving, and the second one had the girder, conveyor, ladder, pipes, springs and wide blocks. Can someone please help?
Honestly, my nostalgia aside, this game hasn't aged too well. This formula got way better with Mini Land Mayhem, and then Nintendo just decided that releasing that one over and over again was a good idea and it kind of made this sub-series feel really dull. Shame, really.
Minis March Again is next. Then the free amibo game for the 3ds and Wii u. That use Amibos to unlock the stages.
Glad ur finally back i have been watching since ur gameboy season
I played the stage builder so much as a kid I forgot there was an actual game lol
2:20
Absolute fucking madman made a suicide joke about one of the cutest mario games to exist.
This was literally my childhood game. Was the only game in mario vs donkey kong that I had. Without the connection I think it would have been seen as fun as a standalone.
Mini Land Mayhem was my childhood
This game is definitely overhated. There hasn't been a bad Mario vs Donkey Kong game to this day. When I first saw the "guide mini mario to the end" type of gameplay I thought it was boring. But I played the games and it grew on me and I really like this type of gameplay now. All these games have been fun to me. I think that most people who don't like these games just aren't into puzzle games in general. I do hope that they make a Mario vs Donkey Kong game on the switch and have it return to it's roots. Also the C on the kong's tie stands for Circus because they're called Circus Kongs.
Remembered this game from the Nintendo DS instructional video.
That’s the only reason.
I remember procrastinating at the first blooper enemy for 10 minutes then realizing you can avoid them by literally walking.
0:36 So just your average Thomas & Friends fan then, eh?
It feels weird to see that this was a divisive/hated game; this was the first game in the series I played (didn't own the GBA predecessor or the sequels) and I actually found it very interesting to play!
I think the last boss is what Toys R Us used for the demo.
Wow I grew up with this game along with all the other big ds games, I didn't even realize it was a sequel until a few years ago.
Dang, March of the Minis was the only Mario vs DK game I ever played. I totally missed out on the first one!
I enjoyed this game pretty well though it’s hard to go back to it once you’ve played the later Mario VS Donkey Kong entries.
