Room 4-3 (titled Room 3-3 in the British English version) is the third course of Magnet Mania in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. This level introduces Rotating Magnet Sticks.

The course features three Mini Marios and one Gold Mini Mario.

Overview[edit]

All four Mini Marios begin at the top of the course: two regular Mini Marios in the top-right corner, one regular Mini Mario on a ledge near the top left, and the Gold Mini Mario above the exit. The two topmost levels are covered in Magnet Ground, with several Rotating Magnet Sticks in between; when the Rotating Magnet Sticks are spun while a Mini is walking across them, they will walk across the ceiling of the level below. Some more Magnet Ground connects the second-highest level with the one below; here, there are three Magnetic Block gaps, with only the one in the middle being filled in. Below the level with the Magnetic Blocks is a large pit of spikes. To reach the exit, the player should guide the Minis onto the left Rotating Magnet Stick on the second-highest level, then spin it while the Minis are walking across so they end up on the underside of the level. They should then spin the right Rotating Magnet Stick as the Minis walk across so the Minis end up in the room with the exit.

Mini Mario Card[edit]

The Mini Mario Card is at the bottom right of the level, at the end of the pit of spikes. It can be collected by following the same route to the exit, except the player should allow the Mini Mario to walk across the Magnet Ground so it can move onto the underside of the level with the Magnetic Blocks; they should then place and remove the blocks so the Mini can collect the Mini Mario Card.

Star scores[edit]

  • A silver star symbol. Used as the cleanest possible way to represent silver stars in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, since ripping sprites cleanly from that game is notoriously difficult. Silver star: 15200 points
  • A gold star symbol. Used as the cleanest possible way to represent gold stars in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, since ripping sprites cleanly from that game is notoriously difficult. Gold star: 44200 points
