Pipe Works is the third floor of Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis . Each of the levels in Pipe Works involve the use of Warp Pipes to help the Mini Marios reach the goal. Segments of Warp Pipes known as Rotate Pipes are introduced on this floor, as well as Water Valves. Newly introduced enemies on this floor include Crash Kongs and Thwomps, while Shy Guys return from previous floors. The music tracks played on this floor are the only entirely original compositions in the game which play within levels.
Upon completing Boss Game 3, the Pipe Works construction kit is unlocked for the Construction Zone. After being defeated in Boss Game 3, Donkey Kong flees to Magnet Mania.
