== Story ==
The Mario Toy Company returns with a commercial promoting the new Super Mini Mario World, which is an outdoor amusement park centered around the Mini Marios, Mini Peachs, Mini Toads, Mini Luigis, Mini Donkey Kongs, Mini Bowsers and Mini Yoshis. A crowd of Toads is shown watching Pauline and Mario, who is about to cut the ribbon to open the park. Donkey Kong, one of the Mario Toy Company's employees is also in the crowd. He immediately falls in love with Pauline and rushes to her, presenting her with a Mini Donkey Kong. However, Mario hands out a Mini Mario, which Pauline chooses instead of the Mini Donkey Kong. A heartbroken Donkey Kong becomes furious and breaks down a sales post of Mini Marios, even crushing one with his feet. He then heads toward the elevator, grabbing Pauline on his way and knocking Mario to the floor. As Donkey Kong enters the elevator with Pauline, Mario gets up and runs toward it, but its doors close before he can reach it, and Donkey Kong brings Pauline up to the roof of the building. Mario is unsure of what to do until three Mini Marios come to offer help. Luigi and Yoshi, co-owners of the company follow on to help them as they enter the elevator.
In the ending, Mario reaches the top of the building and finds Pauline safe with many presents in a room on the roof. Donkey Kong looks apologetic for his actions as a Mini Mario races across the floor to meet a Mini Donkey Kong. Pauline picks up the Mini Donkey Kong and kisses it, making Donkey Kong happy. The credits roll. 
== Gameplay ==
Like the base game, the player controls Mario as he navigates the rooms from the original sequel. Unlike the base game, there is no timer and all of the rooms in each Floor has been segmented. The goal that Mario is presented with is finding all of the letters in each room to spell the name "Mini Mario" in order to open the door, with the final room in each floor being a fight between him and Donkey Kong, with Luigi, Yoshi and the Mini Marios helping out. Luigi and Yoshi act as new playable characters alongside Mario as they both have their own separate abilities that differ from Mario's. The player can switch between the characters on the pause menu.
