Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge

MINI MARIO & FRIENDS: AMIIBO CHALLENGE

Last one! Hooray! Mini Mario & Friends was sort of a departure from the standard series. All the story elements of Donkey Kong kidnapping Pauline and Mario going after him are gone, as is pretty much everything Pauline entirely. Basically the game works with amiibos, adding in Mini-versions of whichever characters you have and having them go through levels for you. Each comes with their own special move that shakes up the gameplay a little bit.

The character amiibos that work with this include Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Rosalina, Bowser, and Bowser Jr., each getting their own mini, alongside a little robot named Mini-Spek, a stand-in for any other amiibo you might have tried to scan in (Say, you tried a Link amiibo, for instance). Mario can wall jump, Luigi can high jump, Peach can float, Toad can crouch and get through small areas, Yoshi can eat enemies, Donkey Kong can climb steep slopes, Diddy Kong can grab ledges, Rosalina can perform super high jumps, Bowser can ground pound, and Bowser Jr. can fly in his Klown Kar over spikes without injury. Mini-Spek has no special moves.

The levels in this game are mostly split up into unique worlds for each amiibo. For instance, Barrel Blast Jungle is Donkey's world and features barrel cannons. Mine Cart Cove is Diddy's and features minecarts. Egg Launch Land is Yoshi's, with eggs the player can ride in. Boost Pad Bonanza is Mario's with lots of boost pads. Balloon Float Castle is Peach's with balloons that can carry you upward. Mushroom Hills is Toad's with lots of bouncy mushrooms. Moonlight Mansion is Luigi's with candles that scare off boos and reveal hidden blocks. Air Tumble Rumble is Bowser Jr.'s with fans that push you across gaps. Fire Ride Fortress is Bowser's with lots of burners everywhere. Gravity Galaxy is Rosalina's with lots of gravity wells changing things up. Finally, we have Star World, the final world after the rest are complete.

That's pretty much it! Here's what we've got so far:
