Right away, he decides to get his hands on as many as he can, so he steals them from Mario's Toy Factory.
Now, Mario has to get them back.
Mario must find the key then rescue a Mini Mario in six levels of each world.
In the seventh level, Mario must guide all the Mini Marios he collected through the letters T, O, and Y and into the toy box.
The eighth and last level pits Mario against Donkey Kong.
There are many enemies and obstacles to avoid, including Bob-ombs, Shy Guys, Boos, trash cans, fireballs, and Thwomps.
About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mario vs. Donkey Kong to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2017.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mario vs. Donkey Kong, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii U titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
