History VideoGame / MiniMetro

** On Normal and Extreme, play continues until a station goes too long at max capacity without passengers boarding a train, indicated by a circular timer around the station.
** Endless takes it a step further, not even having a lose condition. Since there's no game over, your performance is measured not in total number of passengers leaving the system but simply the rate at which they exit.

** Osaka also gives you a choice between two trains or a single high-speed train per week.

* JustTrainWrong: The game refers to the [[UsefulNotes/HighSpeedRail high-speed trains]] you can get in Osaka as ''Shinkansen''. ''Shinkansen'' is the name of the ''network'' of high-speed railways in Japan, not the term used for an individual train.

# Auckland -- hypothetical Auckland metro

All of the playable cities are based on cities featuring real-world metros with the exception of Auckland, allowing you to try your hand at reproducing (at least in spirit, anyway) the various iconic subways of the world. New cities are occasionally added [[http://community.dinopoloclub.com/t/city-suggestions/19 based on player input]], so if you live near a metro and it's not in the game, drop them a line!

Nothing to do with the (rather rubbish) car initially called the "Mini Metro" from Austin when it was released.

* GimmickLevel: Many of the cities feature slight modifications on the core rules:

But it's not as easy as it sounds. As the map slowly zooms out to expand the available playing area, stations pop up every now and then so you have to modify your lines to reach those stations or draw new ones. You'll need bridges and tunnels to take your trains across rivers, so that your metro isn't a bunch of inefficient disconnected branches. And stations can only hold so many passengers at once, so you've got to use your other tools such as carriages and new locomotives to keep up with passenger intake; [[CriticalExistenceFailure if any one station stays at capacity for too long, you'll be forced to close down your metro]]. [[EndlessGame Which will happen sooner or later.]]
