Make minis march like never before in this free download. Tap an amiibo™ figure to guide 1 of 11 minis across more than 50 levels. Use minis and their unique abilities, like Yoshi™ who can eat enemies or Rosalina who launches to high places, to reach the exit. But watch out! Mine carts, ghostly Boos and other new obstacles lurk around every corner.

To get started, simply tap any compatible amiibo figure on the Wii U™ GamePad controller. Or, by tapping specific amiibo figures, you can guide minis that have their own unique abilities and exclusive sets of levels. These specially designed, character-themed levels include their own look, remixed music and obstacles for you to master, which comes in handy the more you play. Earn in-game amiibo tokens with different minis to unlock even more difficult challenges.

• So many minis! Each one has a unique set of abilities and their very own levels
• Play levels using different minis to earn amiibo™ tokens and unlock tougher challenges
• Tackle new obstacles and enemies never before seen in the series

Gameplay

Players must guide their mini toys to the goal by changing the stage as they walk. In this game, however, players can scan the amiibo for any Mario character to use that toy in the game; for any other characters, the player instead controls a Mini Spec toy. With the exception of Mini Specs, each Mini toy has their own special abilities to help them clear stages.
