Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge is a game in the Mario vs Donkey Kong series of games, released as a free digital download on the Nintendo eShop for both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U in early 2016. The game is the first in the series to make use of amiibo.

This game was part of an amiibo promotion; participants who purchased an amiibo figurine from select retailers received a free early access download code for this game.

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

Gameplay

Players must guide their mini toys to the goal by manipulating the stage as they walk. By tapping the amiibo for a compatible Super Mario character, the player can use one of eleven Mini toys based on the character scanned; for any other amiibo, the player instead controls a Mini Spek toy. With the exception of the Mini Spek, each Mini toy has a unique special ability to help them clear stages, as well as allowing them to access a set of themed stages specifically designed around that character's abilities. An amiibo must be scanned to entered the game, and a different amiibo can be scanned at any point by tapping the amiibo icon, either from the map screen or from the pause screen on a stage.
