Loads of levels, interesting puzzle variations, excellent music...
Graphics could use some sharpening, gameplay might get tedious if you’re not the type of gamer enthralled by puzzles and strategy, not markedly different from previous Mario vs. DK titles.
Although the Mario vs. Donkey-Kong series could definitely use some shaking up, Mini-Land Mayhem is a solid addition for anyone's DS library -- just don't expect a game leaps and bounds over previous series instalments...
