To save her, Mario has no choice but to pursue him—but an entirely new quest awaits Mario beyond the first few stages, which will be familiar to Donkey Kong veterans.

Mario will have to perform back-flips and rope spins to overcome the obstacles in his path, moving jump stands and ladders to create a path to his goal. Will Mario be able to clear over 100 stages to finally capture Donkey Kong and save Pauline?''
