Upon defeating Donkey Kong once more, players venture into Fire Mountain, the treacherous World 3 in Mario vs. Donkey Kong. With fire enemies lurking in every level and the constant threat of lava, careful planning is essential to survive this fiery world.

This guide offers a comprehensive walkthrough for the initial level in World 3, introducing fans to the Ninji toy enemy and platforms influenced by erupting lava.

Area 1

The first section of Level 3-1 is devoid of enemies; players need to focus on avoiding the lava while navigating the platforms.

Obtaining the Red Present

Located between two large blocks above the lava, the red Present requires players to crouch to avoid the lava, jump onto a rising platform, and seize the gift at the right moment.

Acquiring the Key

After obtaining the red present, players need to jump onto a large block and retrieve the key. Since crouching while holding a key is impossible, players must use the platforms strategically to access the door.

Area 2

The second area features moving platforms affected by lava eruptions and Ninji toys that help players reach higher locations.

Obtaining the Blue Present

Players must use the platforms to reach the blue Present, utilizing the movement patterns to access the gift strategically.

To collect the yellow Present, players need to employ advanced jumping techniques to reach the platform above.

Obtaining the Yellow Present

Players must navigate through platforms and enemies to reach the yellow Present, requiring precise jumps and strategic maneuvers.

Obtaining the Mini Mario Toy

To secure the Mini Mario Toy, players need to cleverly use the Ninjis as platforms to access the upper area where the toy is located.
