Mar 15, 2024Whether you played the 2004 version of Mario vs. Donkey Kong or are just stepping into the series, I recommend giving this remake a go. It’s a fun game that feels great to play and offers a good challenge, and because it was a game initially made for GBA, it’s good for pick-up-and-play bursts. It’s also a nice change of pace from typical Mario games, and a great example of the sort of creative, unique titles that came out of the GBA era (and have aged well).

Feb 14, 2024Mario vs Donkey Kong is the perfect example of how Nintendo should remake all of its games. It has everything the original had but it adds a lot of content that looks better than ever.

Feb 14, 2024Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a strong remake of the game originally released on the Game Boy Advance in 2004. With two brand new worlds and a wide variety of mechanics, the levels continue to feel unique and the game is a pleasure to play.

Mar 14, 2024Mario vs. Donkey Kong not only revives that old rivalry for which both characters became famous in the 1980s. It shows us that a game can simultaneously have a simple and entertaining presentation with a challenge that not everyone can overcome. The graphics are beautiful and worthy of this generation. More than one will likely feel frustrated for not reaching the end, but those who do will feel the satisfaction of completing a game without pretensions.

Feb 14, 2024Mario Vs Donkey Kong is a nice time for all, but those seeking major challenge or wholesale changes to the original might not find what they need here.

Feb 19, 2024The asking price does feel disproportionate to what is on offer in Mario vs. Donkey Kong, even despite the host of additional levels that bring it past 130 in total, and its wonderful new presentation and cutscenes. Alongside 1994's Donkey Kong, though, this is the superior gameplay format for this series, which adopted more of a Lemmings approach in subsequent games, so interested folk should seek this one out at a more affordable price in the future.

Feb 22, 2024There's a lot that could have been better with this revamped version of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. Some of the shortcuts taken could certainly have been embellished with a slightly bigger budget. The lesson is probably that Game Boy Advance games, and all the limitations they had, don't hold up very well when translated to modern consoles.
