It shocks me we never got the minis as actual toys
like... how?
No, no way...
There were plushes of them
what the fUCK!!!
I remember I always wanted a wind-up mini mario toy when I was a kid. To do this day I still want a wind-up mini mario toy.
There are figures of them but they don’t wind up or move
Did this series legit just end with DK and Pauline telling Mario "it was just a prank bro!"
Yes. Yes it did.

Same. 😂
"Also no DK Junior"
I mean...in a way it makes sense. Cranky always calls modern DK his grandson, and it has been confirmed that Cranky is the original DK from the arcade game. Thus DK Junior is modern DK's dad, so even if Junior showed up he'd be like....very old.

This actually was my first ever DS game haha
Time to get off your high horse ant dude
I bought it on the 3ds eshop
Honestly, all the eShop-exclusive titles were the only ones I played. Never played any of the retail titles. :P
The level editor in the ds version was basically my Super Mario Maker before Super Mario Maker existed.
I remember always trying to figure out how to publish mine even though the ds internet service was dead
Yup
I spent hours on that
Same here
Yea
It makes me very happy to hear such praise for Mini-Land Mayhem as i'm one of the four people who have actually played it and love it.
Same here! It’s actually the only one I played and I went years not knowing of the previous ones lol
And I'm the fourth lol. Easily my favorite of the lemmings style entries by far, though I do prefer the puzzle platformers of DK '94 and Mario Vs Donkey Kong overall.
I was happy to hear that AntDude liked MLM at least, as it was the only MvDK game I played and own. Made so many levels in that game. Although, I think even 11 year old me knew that the other games didn't offer much more.
I not only played it, i grew up with it. It was one of my first DS games.
got mini-land mayhem for Christmas alongside the 3DS, and despite getting actual 3DS games too i tried it out first. fun as hell.
I miss the original Puzzle Platformer formula of Donkey Kong 64/Mario vs Donkey Kong
I would love to see it return
Me too.
You mean dk *9*4?
@@LollinoDamb64 Yeah I think he meant 94.
Ah yes, Donkey Kong 64 for the GameBoy, I love the part where it pretends to be a remake, only for Cranky Kong to take you to the fridge at the end.
@@Scott... You must have played the wrong game. My version had me being forced to find specific points on each level so I can switch between characters just so I can lift a key or god forbid jump to a higher area.
Time limit wasn't too friendly. Got a few time overs.
just a curiosity, actually the "lemmings" style of gameplay wasn't the first time nintendo tried this with Mario, there's a game on the SNES called Mario & Wario, that is a puzzle game too but uses the SNES mouse to play, and it's actually pretty good.
Shame it never came out in countries other than Japan. Apparently it was gonna come to the US at some point as the game was part of a contest to win a new SNES game back in like 1994 or 95, but apparently the game flopped pretty bad in Japan and Nintendo got cold feet releasing it anywhere else.
Also Mario & Wario made by GameFreak... Yes, that Pokemon developer.
And the "lemming game" was developed by the same makers behind Grand Theft Auto.
Antdude briefly talked about that game in his wario series episode.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 crazy
I got Minis March Again pre-installed on my DSi and spend an entire evening during a family trip playing it. I was enamored with it when I first tried it and it makes me a little fond of it even if I never went back to it.

@@PikaPhantom_oh they're the same developers that made Bowser's fury? Interesting.
Based on what I can tell it seems like minieland mayhem is the peak of the series and that's the only game I played besides the amiibo one but that one was free.
@@bland9876 Yeah, as well as being involved in the Captain Toad port and F-Zero 99
@@PikaPhantom_ what port?

I'm from the future! Mario Vs Donkey Kong GBA remake was released today! It's very fun and great to be back to the classic GBA game.
“It’s better than that stupid amiibo tap game… most of you probably blocked it out of your memory.”
Actually, I thought Mini Mario & Friends WAS amiibo Tap. I got them mixed up.

@@Violes4577 Aww poor kid, you still have a sad life
@@Violes4577 Stop copypasting the same comment
True, but they do make up. DK just causes trouble because he got angry for valid reasons (Didn't get a toy, got late for an event, Pauline choose the Mini-Mario over the Mini-DK...some unexplained reason in Tipping Stars), and Mario tried to stop his mayham. In the original game, Mario, being the good guy he is, cheers DK by giving him a Mini-Mario. DK isen't Mario's enemy (there's another character who takes that role), he just causes chaos when he's super upset.
I’m thankful that Mario Vs Donkey is coming back to its routes in the remake for the first game

I can't believe they remade the GBA game. I love that game. Maybe that after that remake, they'll make new Mario vs. DK games with that gameplay.
Is a remake?! I thinked was a reboot!
@@yuriswasd7238 Yeah it's a remake of the very first game on GBA that had you control the real Mario. It's a really great game.

The intro cutseen in the first ds game was CLEAN
Now I finally know where SMG4 got those voice clips.
@@Portersona69420 Now I wonder how long it'll take for him to get a C&D from Nintendo like what happened to SML.
@@GatorRay SML used official licensed Nintendo merch for his videos, while SMG4 uses Gmod models made by other people, so it'll likely be easier for SMG4 to defend it as parody akin to Robot Chicken (also some people have been known to lump SML in with the "Elsagate" type of videos that were causing controversy a while back so that probably didn't help, especially given despite all the crude and adult humor in SML the videos seem to mostly attract kids as the main viewership).
@@BloodRedFox2008 Nintendo find the old videos 😐
That's the Actimagine/Mobiclip codec. Used in a lot of DS and other Nintendo games, like Metroid Prime Hunters and Final Fantasy III. The Hunters intro movie blew me away when I first saw it.
12:48 I know this is gonna sound weird, but Mini-Land Mayhem was actually a big part of my childhood. I played this game all the time on my DS, to the point where I beat all the main and plus levels when I was little. I kinda want to go dig that game up again.
I used to find it scary how the door slam shut when all the minis didnt get to the door in time
Very excited for the remake
3:30 - and many years later DK Jr. was resurrected again in his Super Mario Kart appearance in Mario Kart Tour!
But that was a 16-Bit version of DK Jr, the real one is still dead
Here going be a remake of Mario vs donkey Kong
I just like how AntDude makes his videos, i will support him with i can
The one I owned was Mini-Land Mayhem. HOLY CRAP that was pretty much life when I was young. I would always make new levels, be confused at the streetpass feature, and complete the story like 800 times over. Man I miss those days.
Can’t wait for the next one
I got some good news for you...
5:12
DK: "I'm gonna perform what's called a "Pro Gamer Move""
I honestly do feel bad that after Mini Land Mayhem we just got small shovelware based games. Tipping Stars so far has been one of my least favorite Mario games ever, it just felt so cheap with little effort. The series was definitely in its prime time from DK 94 to Mini Land Mayhem for me, but due to the recent games I wouldn't be surrpised if this series is done by this point
Tipping Stars truely felt barebones, especially since unlike the previous games, they don't explain what cause DK to get angry and kidnapped Pauline. He just kidnapped her for no reason.
4:53 - Thanks for reminding why it's always a good idea for you to collaborate with Caddy
Well now Mario vs. Donkey Kong has a remake!
I remember playing "Minis March Again" on DSi. I only played half of these games though.
4:56 Happy to see you finally got that cuby amiibo
I played Minis March again as a kid, and I actually have nostalgia for it.
20:03 - why is an actually satisfying completion cutscene so rare nowadays?
The 100 percent one for Crash 4 was cool, as was the one for Oddworld Soulstorm, but I didn't see much else.
Too bad 100 percenting Crash 4 is a pain in the ass though.
@@rcmero To me it was fun, except for 2 specific levels.
106 percenting it, on the other hand...
Because they figure no one will bother to reach completion, so why waste resources on something people will never see?
I kind of miss stuff like F-Zero GX, were there are things to see for those who go the extra mile.
@@VonFirflirch They more like assume. Falsely so. There's a reason those stuff exist in the first place.
Saying people will "never see" it is such a simplistic assumption.
@@Ori_KohavWho. WHO thouhg the requirments for 106% completion was _good._

Jokes on you, I actually played "minis march again" when I was a kid. I remember that I didn't like it because I couldn't control the minis. That's why I always played "march of the minis" or maybe that was mini land Mayem. I just remember that I preferred the 2nd game.
Welp, looks like Nintendo heard your pleas by deciding to make a remake of the GBA Mario Vs. DK with actual platforming, therefore finally returning to the series’s roots.

Kind of a fun story related to Donkey Kong 94. I used to LOVE Mario vs. Donkey Kong on the GBA and kind of fell off the wagon for years. Then while I was in my Donkey Kong frenzy, looking for every way possible to play the original Donkey Kong on NES and Arcade, Donkey Kong 94 caught my eye on the eShop. I only looked at a single picture and it looked like a straight port of the original game, and I was like, "YES!"
I had such a fun time with that first loop of the game. I was like, "Wow, this is a lot of fun, like a remaster of the original game!" And then it pulled that massive twist and turned into the ORIGINAL Mario vs. Donkey Kong. I never knew MvDK had a history before the GBA one. And then that pushed me to play a ton of MvDK and fall in love with that series once again.
I'm really happy I never knew about that twist in the Game Boy game. It's one of my favorite Donkey Kong memories, seriously.
I have huuuge nostalga for mini-land mayhem, so it’s always been a favorite of mine

Donkey Kong '94 is a seriously underrated gem on the GB. A serious must-own.
20:07 The usage of Takashi Nagasako's initial DK recordings from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat makes me feel nostalgic, even when they're presented in a series that suffered from Minion syndrome.
Who’s here after picking up the remake?
Not gonna lie I didn’t even know there were multiple of these games. I had mini land mayhem, had fun with it, then completely forgot about its existence
Don't forget, we have the first Mario vs Donkey Kong remake coming up soon.
Mini land mayhem was my introduction to the series as a kid but I only ever played that and March of the minis and I thought that was a sequel to mini land mayhem because it had “2” in the title. March of the minis wasn’t as memorable as mini land mayhem, that games a gem to me. Loved it. Then I finally got to play the original Mario vs donkey Kong when it got remade on switch
YEEAAAAH ITS ANTDUDE!!
imagine that guy who played dk94 first as a kid and was super confused when the original arcade didn't end with the puzzle levels.
I came here after listening to the Arlocast. Awesome channel!

Nintendo's motto has always been: "Buy them all! Buy them all! Buy them all!" They thrive on the FOMO model.
And artificial scarcity, don't forget that
@@nobodyinparticular9640 Ah, yes, that is very true. Hike up the demand so high that people will pay anything (no matter the value) as well as have a huge push to boost their sales numbers for that particular quarter.

@@theotherky I mean, that is true, but some of the business practices they employ just leave a bad taste in your mouth. Nintendo fans can be a bit too loyal to a fault. It is like being in an abusive relationship. You hate their business decisions but they make some really good games and you still stick with them. 😣
@@mattb6522 Oh, I know. I feel the same way towards Capcom. I was more talking about the "vote with your wallet" crowd that still buys the game anyway, and then gets mad about the choice that they willingly made. There's a point where the consumer has to take some of the blame for companies continuing to get away with what they do.
While the minis could be seen as a foreshadowing of Amiibo, we never got the minis as actual Amiibo, or just a regular toy.
Nintendo missed out on a lot of money there, just like how they sit on the missed potential of the earlier games of this side series.
One of my absolute favorite series
The third of the Minis game is the one I played the most and I absolutely love it. Glad you enjoyed it too
