Mario vs. Donkey Kong

Whether 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).

Mario vs Donkey Kong... is an absolutely fantastic little puzzler.

It's a challenging, fun and ingenious remake, outside the usual platforming molds, but it's a bit too short and repeats some of the battles against Donkey Kong.

At the end of the day, Mario vs. Donkey Kong is simply, effortlessly fun, and that's what you come to the moustachioed plumber for.

This remake maybe isn't the one we were hoping for, but it is a good and faithful one, sitting tightly in the "this is just how I remembered it was" category, all while adding some new features, game modes and worlds.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong, a remake of a classic for Game Boy Advance, is a well designed hybrid between a platform and a puzzle game. The multiplayer is a great addition, and the music really stands out. Anyway, it's clearly an handheld game: the levels and the adventure are short, and the level design too schematic. It's twenty years old, after all.

There'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.

Tremendo juegazo, clasico de antañown epoca de GBA. Cualquiera deberia disfrutar de esta tremenda obra

This is a solid game, but still a rather weak game for the Mario series. For starters, this is a puzzle game with some very light action and battles. So if you don't like puzzles this is not the game for you. As for the puzzles, it's relatively easy throughout the game as there were only very few that I got stuck or had to think awhile to solve it, and one of them was more so due to game mechanics. I've played a few puzzle games and I can say it's not my favorite genre of video games, but there's still some fun to be had with puzzle games if done correctly. This game does accomplish taking an idea and expanding on it so it doesn't feel completely stale and boring after solving a few puzzles. So that makes it a good game. However, the game really isn't that long as there's slightly more than 130 puzzles and most puzzles only take a few minutes if that, so this game is only a few hours long, even if you try to get perfect on each level. The expert levels which are a new addition to game did give a challenge and I didn't finish all of those but at that point I kind of was done with the game having gotten perfect on all the puzzles before the expert levels. Other things to note in this game, as others may have mentioned, I did run into a few game flaws or bugs, where Mario will land on top of an enemy but still takes damage and thus you have to start over. Other Improvements could of been where you can maybe had it where Mario could issue a wait command for the mario toy, as that could of made it prevent the mario toy getting destroyed by an enemy or falling. Also, it could of been cool if you could of created your own level, kind of like mario maker. Overall, still a solid game, but could of been better, and I don't think the price helped the reception of this game. I wonder if they will remake the 2nd game for this series, but I doubt it since this game didn't review that well.

Jogo bom para resolver enigmas e passar o tempo, jogar faseado, sem pressa, em pilulas. Nao tem um nivel de dificuldade muito alto o que pode ser bom para jogadores casuais, mas que também pode ajudar a desistimular um pouco players mais experientes.

the games gimmick in very uninteresting and boring. game should have ended at the seconded world. I have no idea how this game got a sequel let alone over 3 games. you never feel good for figuring out a puzzle only frustrated that you didn't get it sooner.

The game is short, but it is kinda fun, specially for me that got it for free, thanks based 'knocked over delivery truck'. But when I saw the official price, good lord, does anyone really buy this? Nowadays a game like this should be a free to play mobile game
