Overview
Description

Hotel Mario is a puzzle‑platformer where Mario and Luigi must shut every door across multiple hotel floors while battling mischievous enemies that reopen them. Using elevators to move between levels, players navigate seven Koopa‑run hotels, each with a set of increasingly tricky stages.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis lets players design their own platform puzzles using a robust level editor, then challenge friends worldwide via Nintendo Wi‑Fi Connection. The story follows Mario's new theme park, where Donkey Kong kidnaps Pauline and chaos erupts among the Mini toys. Solve expertly crafted stages, download community‑made maps, and climb the leaderboards while enjoying charming Mini‑Mario, Mini‑Donkey Kong, Mini‑Toad, and Mini‑Peach characters in a vibrant puzzle‑platform experience.
