This article is about the RCT1 variety. For the RCT2 and RCTC equivalents, see Junior Roller Coaster and Mini Roller Coaster.

The Steel Mini Roller Coaster is a roller coaster type in Roller Coaster Tycoon. It is a combination of the Junior Roller Coaster and the Mini Roller Coaster. For this reason, it was split in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. This move has not been without controversy, as this roller coaster type is very cheap, easy to build and versatile. In addition, it's usually available at the start of RCT1 scenarios.

This coaster type is due to be reintroduced in OpenRCT2, but is now called "Classic Mini Roller Coaster", in order to avoid confusion with the Mini Roller Coaster.
