Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis Unlocks and Construction Zone: DK’s Hideout, stars and saved levels
Find the basement requirements and distinguish local creation from discontinued online sharing.
Edition covered
Original 2006 Nintendo DS game. Excludes Minis March Again!, Mini-Land Mayhem! and the GBA game’s direct Mario controls. Original Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection sharing is a discontinued historical feature.
Clear the roof before opening the basement
After the Final Boss, choose the B floor button for DK’s Hideout. B1 requires at least 40 silver-or-gold stars; B2 requires at least 40 gold stars.
| Reward | Requirement | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| DK’s Hideout access | Defeat the roof Final Boss | B button on floor selection |
| B1 | 40 silver-or-better stars | DK’s Hideout |
| B2 | 40 gold stars | DK’s Hideout |
| Mini Toad title toys | All 80 bronze-or-better results | Options → Showroom → Title |
| Mini Peach title toys | All 80 silver-or-better results | Options → Showroom → Title |
| Mini Donkey Kong title toys | All 80 gold stars | Options → Showroom → Title |
Full star sets also change the title-screen toys
The Title option offers Mini Toads after the 80 bronze-or-better results, Mini Peaches after 80 silver-or-better and Mini Donkey Kongs after all 80 gold stars. These are cosmetic title-screen choices.
| Feature | Original requirement | Availability distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Build custom levels | Construction Zone | Offline cartridge feature |
| Play saved custom levels | A saved room | Offline cartridge feature |
| Multi-Card exchange | Two DS systems and two game cards | Local wireless feature |
| Nintendo WFC exchange | Original online service | Discontinued official service |
| Single Card demo | Another DS system | Demo sharing rather than full level exchange |
Construction Zone still supports local creative play
Build and play levels saved on the cartridge. The original Multi-Card exchange uses two DS systems and game cards; Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection sharing belongs to the discontinued online service.
Keep bonus kits distinct from title-screen changes
Construction special kits determine the usable toy theme in custom rooms. The Title menu changes the toys walking across the opening screen, so the two features should not be confused.
