It shocks me we never got the minis as actual toys
like... how?
No, no way...
There were plushes of them
what the fUCK!!!
I remember I always wanted a wind-up mini mario toy when I was a kid. To do this day I still want a wind-up mini mario toy.
There are figures of them but they don’t wind up or move
Did this series legit just end with DK and Pauline telling Mario "it was just a prank bro!"
Yes. Yes it did.

“There’s Mario, he’s versus-ing Donkey Kong, this counts.”
The level editor in the ds version was basically my Super Mario Maker before Super Mario Maker existed.
I remember always trying to figure out how to publish mine even though the ds internet service was dead
Yup
I spent hours on that
Same here
Yea
I really thought the title said “When A Kong Meets Communism” for a second
I just had to look at the title again

Don't give Matpat the idea to rehash the joke video Mario Is Communist but making it BAD because Modern Game Theory.
Same. 😂
"Also no DK Junior"
I mean...in a way it makes sense. Cranky always calls modern DK his grandson, and it has been confirmed that Cranky is the original DK from the arcade game. Thus DK Junior is modern DK's dad, so even if Junior showed up he'd be like....very old.
How can Pauline then be the same age (probably) as Mario?

@@LittleScaredyBoy I'm waiting for red pepper
But did you play the guest mode?
It makes me very happy to hear such praise for Mini-Land Mayhem as i'm one of the four people who have actually played it and love it.
Same here! It’s actually the only one I played and I went years not knowing of the previous ones lol
And I'm the fourth lol. Easily my favorite of the lemmings style entries by far, though I do prefer the puzzle platformers of DK '94 and Mario Vs Donkey Kong overall.
I was happy to hear that AntDude liked MLM at least, as it was the only MvDK game I played and own. Made so many levels in that game. Although, I think even 11 year old me knew that the other games didn't offer much more.
I not only played it, i grew up with it. It was one of my first DS games.
got mini-land mayhem for Christmas alongside the 3DS, and despite getting actual 3DS games too i tried it out first. fun as hell.
"Who... Who played this? Did you play this? You probably didn't play this"
*Me who played this and enjoyed it, feeling it was worth the 8 dollars*
There's literally dozens of us. We Exist!
This actually was my first ever DS game haha
Time to get off your high horse ant dude
I bought it on the 3ds eshop
Honestly, all the eShop-exclusive titles were the only ones I played. Never played any of the retail titles. :P
I miss the original Puzzle Platformer formula of Donkey Kong 64/Mario vs Donkey Kong
I would love to see it return
Me too.
You mean dk *9*4?
@@LollinoDamb64 Yeah I think he meant 94.
Ah yes, Donkey Kong 64 for the GameBoy, I love the part where it pretends to be a remake, only for Cranky Kong to take you to the fridge at the end.
@@Scott... You must have played the wrong game. My version had me being forced to find specific points on each level so I can switch between characters just so I can lift a key or god forbid jump to a higher area.
Time limit wasn't too friendly. Got a few time overs.
just a curiosity, actually the "lemmings" style of gameplay wasn't the first time nintendo tried this with Mario, there's a game on the SNES called Mario & Wario, that is a puzzle game too but uses the SNES mouse to play, and it's actually pretty good.
Shame it never came out in countries other than Japan. Apparently it was gonna come to the US at some point as the game was part of a contest to win a new SNES game back in like 1994 or 95, but apparently the game flopped pretty bad in Japan and Nintendo got cold feet releasing it anywhere else.
Also Mario & Wario made by GameFreak... Yes, that Pokemon developer.
And the "lemming game" was developed by the same makers behind Grand Theft Auto.
Antdude briefly talked about that game in his wario series episode.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 crazy
I got Minis March Again pre-installed on my DSi and spend an entire evening during a family trip playing it. I was enamored with it when I first tried it and it makes me a little fond of it even if I never went back to it.

The fact that this series is getting another entry soon. MORE CONSUMERISM

Thankfully, they've kinda had that chance now; they were involved in Bowser's Fury
@@PikaPhantom_oh they're the same developers that made Bowser's fury? Interesting.
Based on what I can tell it seems like minieland mayhem is the peak of the series and that's the only game I played besides the amiibo one but that one was free.

@@Violes4577 Aww poor kid, you still have a sad life
@@Violes4577 Stop copypasting the same comment
True, but they do make up. DK just causes trouble because he got angry for valid reasons (Didn't get a toy, got late for an event, Pauline choose the Mini-Mario over the Mini-DK...some unexplained reason in Tipping Stars), and Mario tried to stop his mayham. In the original game, Mario, being the good guy he is, cheers DK by giving him a Mini-Mario. DK isen't Mario's enemy (there's another character who takes that role), he just causes chaos when he's super upset.

Is a remake?! I thinked was a reboot!
@@yuriswasd7238 Yeah it's a remake of the very first game on GBA that had you control the real Mario. It's a really great game. I have the original and a little while ago, even before the remake was announced, I started a new game in order to complete it at 100% for the first time, and I've been making great progress towards that goal lately.

Now I finally know where SMG4 got those voice clips.
@@Portersona69420 Now I wonder how long it'll take for him to get a C&D from Nintendo like what happened to SML.
@@GatorRay SML used official licensed Nintendo merch for his videos, while SMG4 uses Gmod models made by other people, so it'll likely be easier for SMG4 to defend it as parody akin to Robot Chicken (also some people have been known to lump SML in with the "Elsagate" type of videos that were causing controversy a while back so that probably didn't help, especially given despite all the crude and adult humor in SML the videos seem to mostly attract kids as the main viewership).
@@BloodRedFox2008 Nintendo find the old videos 😐
That's the Actimagine/Mobiclip codec. Used in a lot of DS and other Nintendo games, like Metroid Prime Hunters and Final Fantasy III. The Hunters intro movie blew me away when I first saw it.
Donkey Kong '94 is a seriously underrated gem on the GB. A serious must-own.
To be fair, you need to have a high IQ to understand the complex narrative themes behind the ending to Tipping Stars.

The one I owned was Mini-Land Mayhem. HOLY CRAP that was pretty much life when I was young. I would always make new levels, be confused at the streetpass feature, and complete the story like 800 times over. Man I miss those days.

12:48 I know this is gonna sound weird, but Mini-Land Mayhem was actually a big part of my childhood. I played this game all the time on my DS, to the point where I beat all the main and plus levels when I was little. I kinda want to go dig that game up again.
I used to find it scary how the door slam shut when all the minis didnt get to the door in time
Well now Mario vs. Donkey Kong has a remake!
5:12
DK: "I'm gonna perform what's called a "Pro Gamer Move""
I honestly do feel bad that after Mini Land Mayhem we just got small shovelware based games. Tipping Stars so far has been one of my least favorite Mario games ever, it just felt so cheap with little effort. The series was definitely in its prime time from DK 94 to Mini Land Mayhem for me, but due to the recent games I wouldn't be surrpised if this series is done by this point
Tipping Stars truely felt barebones, especially since unlike the previous games, they don't explain what cause DK to get angry and kidnapped Pauline. He just kidnapped her for no reason.
I remember playing "Minis March Again" on DSi. I only played half of these games though.
3:30 - and many years later DK Jr. was resurrected again in his Super Mario Kart appearance in Mario Kart Tour!
But that was a 16-Bit version of DK Jr, the real one is still dead

and... IT'S BACK!!! lol
it would be awesome to also have that toy Mario game included in the Mario vs Donkey Kong game coming out next year!

Too bad 100 percenting Crash 4 is a pain in the ass though.
@@rcmero To me it was fun, except for 2 specific levels.
106 percenting it, on the other hand...
Because they figure no one will bother to reach completion, so why waste resources on something people will never see?
I kind of miss stuff like F-Zero GX, were there are things to see for those who go the extra mile.
@@VonFirflirch They more like assume. Falsely so. There's a reason those stuff exist in the first place.
Saying people will "never see" it is such a simplistic assumption.

Jokes on you, I actually played "minis march again" when I was a kid. I remember that I didn't like it because I couldn't control the minis. That's why I always played "march of the minis" or maybe that was mini land Mayem. I just remember that I preferred the 2nd game.

"This is a series that exist"
-personal review of mario vs donkey dong
Most games are painfully average
Kind of a fun story related to Donkey Kong 94. I used to LOVE Mario vs. Donkey Kong on the GBA and kind of fell off the wagon for years. Then while I was in my Donkey Kong frenzy, looking for every way possible to play the original Donkey Kong on NES and Arcade, Donkey Kong 94 caught my eye on the eShop. I only looked at a single picture and it looked like a straight port of the original game, and I was like, "YES!"
I had such a fun time with that first loop of the game. I was like, "Wow, this is a lot of fun, like a remaster of the original game!" And then it pulled that massive twist and turned into the ORIGINAL Mario vs. Donkey Kong. I never knew MvDK had a history before the GBA one. And then that pushed me to play a ton of MvDK and fall in love with that series once again.
I'm really happy I never knew about that twist in the Game Boy game. It's one of my favorite Donkey Kong memories, seriously.

11:11 I did! Good memories. That and Mini-land Mayhem.
20:07 The usage of Takashi Nagasako's initial DK recordings from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat makes me feel nostalgic, even when they're presented in a series that suffered from Minion syndrome.
Who's here after the new trailer for the MVDK remake dropped?
Well, now we're getting an actual remake of Mario vs Donkey Kong. Let's see how it turns out.
OMG I never thought I'd see Mini-Land-Mayhem again since I lost the game cartridge 8 years ago ._.
Mini land mayhem was my introduction to the series as a kid but I only ever played that and March of the minis and I thought that was a sequel to mini land mayhem because it had “2” in the title. March of the minis wasn’t as memorable as mini land mayhem, that games a gem to me. Loved it. Then I finally got to play the original Mario vs donkey Kong when it got remade on switch
It’s crazy to think Pauline returned after so long when the Mario vs Donkey Kong series began. Who knew she’d become a mayor?
I played miniland mayhem, one of my favorite games, remember making so many levels
13:45 “And this funky beat that plays when you beat a level-“
*game plays the same note 9 times.*
I'm going to be honest, I played Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars a LOT when I was little. I still hold so such nostalgia when playing it and man, it was so much fun. I even went as far as go gather as much stars to unlock everything (iirc I had everything but Gold Mario). But still, I wish to have that experience again
YEEAAAAH ITS ANTDUDE!!
While the minis could be seen as a foreshadowing of Amiibo, we never got the minis as actual Amiibo, or just a regular toy.
Nintendo missed out on a lot of money there, just like how they sit on the missed potential of the earlier games of this side series.
Thank you for making this video!
Mario vs Donkey Kong on GBA was one of my first ganes, and I think it still holds up!
Your Mayrio series is so cool AntDude! Thank you for keeping the tradition going year after year.
Wait, so you're telling me the Switch is not the only Nintendo console with a calculator?
I have never seen less effort put into a Nintendo game than Tipping Stars. I am full of genuine shock.
Mario Kart 8 Wave 1 DLC
The third of the Minis game is the one I played the most and I absolutely love it. Glad you enjoyed it too
Kid me played mini land mayhem on the DS more than I like to admit. Some great puzzles and use of the touch screen though, and the level editor was great
imagine that guy who played dk94 first as a kid and was super confused when the original arcade didn't end with the puzzle levels.
Not gonna lie I didn’t even know there were multiple of these games. I had mini land mayhem, had fun with it, then completely forgot about its existence
great video as always! the editing and writing on this one in particular got quite a few laughs out of me.
Thank you soooo much for including DK94! It was the first gameboy game i got to play and become addicted to on my brand new (at the time) Gameboy Pocket. It's severely underrated, glad to see it's getting some play still.
