- Not to be confused with Mario Minigame Mayhem.
Mario Land: Minigame Mayhem is a fangame created by Kritter, which started in Mid 2003 and completed in August 6 2014, after 11 years. The original game starred Mario in a theme park called MFGG Land, in which all the MFGGers had stalls with minigames that Mario could play for coins.
It originally featured hand-made sprites and graphics, but was later changed to M&L style sprites and backgrounds, which caused Kritter to remove all the MFGG members, and replace them with characters and sprites from the game. Originally, a lot of the minigames were created by the MFGG members as well, but now Kritter makes all the minigames on his own.

Gameplay Mechanics
The Overworld
The overworld is a free-roaming world full of NPC characters and Minigame stalls. Each minigame stall is hosted by a character that Mario can talk to. Talking to these characters will bring up a dialogue sequence that explains the game, tells you how many coins the game will cost, and any other necessary rules for the game.
You are given the choice to accept to play the game, thus paying the set coin amount and being taken to the appropriate minigame.
Toadsworth waits by the gate to offer Mario his first 10 coins in order to get his Minigame Career started. He will also top up Mario’s coin amount should he run out of coins entirely, although there are a number of free minigames that will also reward Mario with coins.
In addition to the overworld, there are also three smaller Minigame hubs to visit. These are The Arcade, The Ghost House and the Card Pavilion. Each of these areas has appropriately themed minigames.
Pressing M brings up the map screen which shows your position on the overworld and various places of importance.
The Minigames
The heart and soul of Minigame Mayhem are the minigames themselves. Almost all minigames require coins to play. There are over 65 minigames throughout the theme park, each with its own cost, theme and coin rewards.
Winning minigames usually rewards you with more coins than you paid in order to play it. This is how money is earned in the game. There is always a risk that you will lose coins when playing some minigames, usually the greater the risk, the greater the rewards.
Minigame controls usually involve the arrow keys, the mouse or ctrl and shift buttons on the keyboard. An extensive list of the minigames included in Minigame Mayhem can be found below.
Achievements
Almost all minigames offer an achievement. These are small alerts that appear when you have overcome a difficult feat in a minigame. These can range from merely beating a tough minigame, to achieving a certain goal within a minigame such as bouncing on 10 consecutive Bullet Bills.
The game will keep track of your earned achievements and they can be viewed within the game or from the main menu. Current Count: 51
Online High Scores
Some of the minigames within the park offer Online High Scores. These allow players to post their scores online, with their name and score reached.
The game keeps track of the top 10 scores for the selected minigames, and can be checked from within the game or the main menu.
Unlockables
These come in the form of purchasable outfits. As of this moment there are currently 11 outfits in progress or completed. These outfits will change Mario’s appearance in both the overworld and in minigames. Some outfits include Palette Swap Mario, Fire Mario, Wario Mask or Racoon Mario. Outfits are changed in the Dressing Room either from the main menu or from within the game. These can then be used in both the overworld and most minigames.
There are also 60 figurines to collect by purchasing them randomly from a capsule machine. Inserting more coins gives you a higher chance of unlocking a figurine you don't already own.
In addition to these unlockables, there is also be a special minigame unlocked when all other minigames have been played.
