After spotting a television commercial for the wildly popular Mini-Mario wind-up toys, Donkey Kong rushes to buy some, only to find the store sold out. Enraged, he breaks into Mario's toy factory and makes off with every last one. Determined to get his toys back, Mario gives chase through a series of factory floors and themed worlds, outmaneuvering hazards and confronting Donkey Kong again and again to recover the stolen Mini-Marios.
