Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars

MARIO VS. DONKEY KONG: TIPPING STARS

So, I'm guessing the new 3D model didn't pan out so well. Either that, or the developers simply wanted to go back to 2D. Tipping Stars was the first game in this series ever to be released for a console, and is largely the same basic game as always except now with a bigger focus on a reward system using stars. The Mini Marios are our protagonists once again, with more or less all the same gameplay. Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong also return in their standard roles, as do the Mini Peaches, Toads, and Paulines, as well as the new Mini Luigi.

Mini Donkey Kongs also return in their circus and capture forms as well as new cannon forms with cannons strapped to their chests that they can shoot projectiles from. Shy Guys, Piranha Plants, Thwomps, and Pokeys also make appearances as enemies, as well as new cursed Mini Marios under the control of monkeys that attach themselves to their heads.

The stages for this game include: Rolling Hills, a basic world; Jumpy Jungle, a jungle with lots of springs; Runaway Warehouse, a factory with conveyor belts; Crumbling Cavern, an underground level with movable pipes; Dashing Desert with lots of dash areas; Twilight Valley with blocks that can be added in and moved around; and Orbiting Observatory, a space-themed world with magnet floors.

That's about it. Here's what we've got:
