Mini Mario Card
- This article is about the cards in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. For the items in Super Mario Bros. 3 also known as "panels", see Card.
Mini Mario Cards,[1][2][3] also shortened to Cards,[4] are collectable items with a picture of Mini Mario and a letter on the back of them. They appear in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, being introduced in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis and reappearing in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!. In each game, there are nine cards in each world; when placed in order, they spell out "MINIMARIO". The level number of a floor corresponds to the letter on a card as it appears in "MINIMARIO" (e.g. Room 2-5 has an "M" card). In Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, a Mini Mario Card is worth 1,000 points when collected; however, in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! only, it is worth 2,000 points.
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, collecting all nine cards on a certain floor unlocks the minigame Shy Guy Smash! for that floor. In Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, doing this instead unlocks the Special Level for that floor. Finally, in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, collecting all nine cards in an attraction unlocks its Minigame level.
