Expert is an extra world in Mario vs. Donkey Kong and its remake, featuring more challenging Expert Levels[1] where the player needs to find a key and bring it to the door to complete them. The first half of levels typically feature themes from all the regular worlds, and the second half features themes from the Plus worlds. While the GBA version featured all Expert levels in one page, the Switch version splits them into two pages (EX1 and EX2), but are otherwise considered the same world.
Expert is unlocked after completing vs. Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong Plus in the GBA version), and Time Attack is also unlocked for those levels as well in the remake. Each level must be unlocked by collecting gold stars (earning a "Perfect!" rating in the remake or attaining a target score in the original) from various levels, with 128 (90 in the GBA version) stars required to unlock all of them. In the GBA version, there are no target high scores to attain on those levels, which means gold stars cannot be obtained from them. This was changed in the remake, as stars can now be attained based on how many presents the player has obtained.
In the GBA version, the bonus game cannot be played after collecting all the presents in each of these levels. Similarly, the remake does not feature any bonus levels corresponding to this world. If enough levels are completed in EX1, the bonus level in Mario Toy Company will unlock instead, and the same will occur with EX2 and the bonus level in Donkey Kong Jungle.
Levels
Note that stars required for each level differ between versions - as such the requirements in the GBA version are marked in parenthesis where applicable.
