Magnet Rods inMario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!

Magnet Rods,^[1] also known asRotating Magnet Sticks^[2] orspin-bar magnets,^[3] are objects that first appear inMario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. The main function of Magnet Rods is to change the path aMini takes by flipping the object when a Mini is walking on a magnetic surface. The player can do this simply by swiping the stylus across one of the two handles on the sides, which will flip the Mini's position on the Magnet Rod. Several Minis at once, as well asMagnet Sparkies, can be flipped using Magnet Rods.

Magnet Rods are first seen inMario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, where they are known asRotating Magnet Sticks. They are introduced inMagnet Mania, and later appear inSpooky Attic. They are rods made up of large green and small blue segments, with yellow and blue striped sides.

Magnet Rods return inMario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, where they are known asspin-bar magnets, and appear inMagnet Mania, theRooftop, and theBasement. Here, they appear mostly light green with a few blue stripes, including on their sides. They function the same way as before.

Magnet Rods return once again inMario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, first appearing inCosmic Adventure and later appearing inRainbow Summit. In this game, they appear as rods made of gray segments, with a light blue outline and red and gray striped sides. Their function is the same as before; however, the player can now swipe anywhere on the Magnet Rod to rotate it, rather than just its sides.
