You can control the flames of this dangerous contraption with the tap of a stylus. The red button turns on and off the Fire Blocks. Your Mini won’t get burned as long as it stays on the cap!

Your Mini can travel in safety and style with the Mine Cart. Just tap the red button to start the cart moving. Place Girders in the right spots to help guide the cart along the right path.

 

Candle & Ghosts

The candle in this contraption scares Ghosts into covering their eyes, so you can safely walk your Mini right through them. You’ll also be able to see invisible blocks, which may help you reach new places.

 

Boost Pad

If you want to give your Mini an extra burst of speed, you can march it up to a Boost Pad and it’ll automatically zip on ahead. Tap the Boost Pad to change the direction of the arrows.

 

Barrel Cannon
