How to play M&M's Minis Madness on Mac

Game summary

The Minis have escaped and are wreaking havoc on the M&M factory. It is up to four intrepid heroes Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue to capture the Minis and return the factory to normal. You must choose the appropriate character for each situation the heroes encounter, as they each have a special skill. Blue can swim, Green has a deadly kiss attack, Yellow can bounce high into the air, and Red can use a spin attack to destroy enemies. If you encounter an area the current character is not able to get past, you can switch to another characters with the select button. Learning how and when to use these abilities is key to conquering all 12 levels in the game. So play M&M MINI MADNESS and try to save the factory before the Minis destroy it.

Play M&M's Minis Madness on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play M&M's Minis Madness on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
