Quick notes

  • The toys are the playable characters. Tap and swipe Minis to move them through a room.
  • Gold Mini order affects the reward. A Gold Mini at the end of a perfect Chain Goal doubles the last chain award.
  • Special-kit toys do not add stronger movement. Mini Toad, Mini Peach and Mini Donkey Kong appear through Construction Zone special kits.
  • Protect every toy before the floor boss. The rescued Minis from the floor become the available supply in its boss battle.
