Template:Quote2 Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a Nintendo Switch remake of the 2004 Game Boy Advance game of the same name released worldwide on February 16, 2024. First announced during the September 2023 Nintendo Direct,[2] it is the first Mario vs. Donkey Kong game for the Nintendo Switch and the first one in general since Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, released almost nine years prior. As a remake of the first game, it is also the first time the gameplay style of the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong has been revisited since the original's release. Unlike the original version's pre-rendered visuals and the rest of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series opting for a plastic, cartoony look with outlines, the remake adopts a standard modern art style, taking many cues from Super Mario 3D World and its appearance as a theme in Super Mario Maker 2 in particular. Additionally, the game debuts a redesigned logo for the Donkey Kong series. Despite Charles Martinet retiring from his role as Mario, several of his voice clips are reused in this game.

A free demo of the game was released on the Nintendo eShop on January 31, 2024.[3]

Differences

Gameplay changes

  • Casual Mode has been added, with bubbles acting as additional hit points and an infinite time limit.
  • Two new worlds, Merry Mini-Land and Slippery Summit, have been introduced as this version of the game's fourth and sixth worlds respectively,[4] with each incorporating all-new obstacles.[5]
  • Multiplayer is added, with Toad as the second playable character. He is able to pass through one-block tall gaps by performing a handstand and can climb ropes fast without needing to perform a two-handed climb.
  • A Time Attack mode has been added.[6]
  • The locations of the red and yellow platforms in Level 1-DK have been swapped.
  • Four new Expert levels have been added, bringing the total of Expert levels to 16, with the levels being based on Merry Mini-Land and Slippery Summit, as well as their Plus variants.
  • The bonus Present minigames have been replaced with various new bonus stages (though the music is retained and rearranged).[7] In these stages, the player must catch a floating key that opens a treasure box before the time runs out, earning five 1-Ups in the process.[8]
  • Scoring has been removed.
  • Falls are no longer lethal, and only formerly lethal falls now stun Mario and Toad. Additionally, falls that would nonlethally stun Mario in the original no longer do so.
  • The right stick can be used to control the camera in large-scaled levels.
  • Retrying a level or exiting a level that has not been cleared yet no longer costs the player a life.
  • Clearing the first level in a world unlocks every remaining level in it except for the Mini-Mario levels and Donkey Kong boss fights.
  • The conveyor belts and Donkey Kong are placed differently in Level 6-DK and Level 6-DK+.
  • Additional blue platforms were added to Level 1-DK+.
  • There are extra platforms added to Level 3-DK+.
  • Hammers reappear after using them.
  • Mario and Toad can now jump on Birds.
  • Pressing up on the controller no longer makes Mario or Toad to look up with their heads.

Text changes and localization

  • The game has been translated to Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, and Korean, three languages that the original was not available in.
    • Additionally, the game features Canadian French and Latin American Spanish translations.
  • The worlds now are translated in the French, Italian, German and Spanish versions while in the original they were left in English in those versions.

Graphical changes

  • The game now uses full 3D models rather than pre-rendered sprites.
  • The cutscenes are now fully animated, instead of swapping between different static frames.
  • Donkey Kong no longer makes heart eyes when seeing the Mini-Mario; instead, it reflects off of his eyes.
    • Additionally, the title screen now has Mario and Donkey Kong with more movements than just their eyes blinking like in the original.
  • Tane Pakkun are redesigned into mechanical Fire Piranha Plants.
  • The toy Ninjis are now black with red buttons, similar to the regular Ninjis' current design.
  • Brickmen are given a pair of movable bricks over their eyes to act as expressive eyebrows.
  • Katakata Kaen Heihō are redesigned into blue Snifits.[9]
  • Thwomps and Thwimps are redesigned to be mechanical, with a face that slides to change expressions.[9]
  • Katakata Yarihō emits Zs when it is sleeping.
  • Boos are replaced with their toy counterparts.
  • Bob-ombs are redesigned to be slightly more mechanical and toy-like. They are also no longer pink.
  • Mario's normal and fire death animations now resemble the ones commonly used in modern mainline Super Mario games, rather than showing him recoil and collapse on the floor, and he is no longer charred when he dies from touching fire.[10]
    • In the full game, Mario's fire death animation features a burning sound and a smoke effect, while in the demo, it does not.
  • There is an ice variant of Fireball that appears in Slippery Summit. It doesn't behave any differently than the other fireballs in the game.
  • Mario is no longer seen using the elevator after Donkey Kong kidnaps the Toads and after he is defeated in the final level before the "Plus" levels.
  • The Toads no longer make Donkey Kong fall off the building by stepping on his hand, and both them and Mario look in concern when he falls.
  • Instead of sobbing, Donkey Kong is shown sulking after his defeat in the final cutscene, and Mario does not scold him before giving him the Mini-Mario. However, he does sob after being defeated in-game.
  • Donkey Kong has an angrier expression when he has one hit point left in his boss battles.

Audio changes

  • The music has been rearranged like other remakes.
    • Fire Mountain and Twilight City had their music completely replaced. The music for all bosses except Donkey Kong Plus and both sets of credits were also replaced.
  • The same music plays throughout an entire stage, and is not interrupted by a jingle when the player enters a door.
  • One of the channels heard (specifically the audio of an announcer counting in Spanish) on Donkey Kong's television in the intro is changed to a clip of the remake's arrangement of Donkey Kong Plus' music.
    • Nate Bihldorff's voice clips of Shy Guy are heard instead of the fast-talking gibberish when Donkey Kong switches channels to a news broadcast.
    • The last "Buy them all!" from the TV announcer is slowed down slightly.
  • Several archival voice clips of Charles Martinet as Mario and the Mini-Marios are repurposed here, though some of these clips are not present in the original game.
    • Contrarily, Donkey Kong now uses voice clips by his current voice actor, Takashi Nagasako, as opposed to Grant Kirkhope's performance in the original game, which features audio repurposed from Donkey Kong 64. He also no longer speaks full sentences as he did in the original game.
    • Samantha Kelly, in addition to voicing Toad (who does not appear in the original game) through archival voice clips, also voices most of the other Toads throughout the remake in the same way, instead of Jen Taylor's performance from the original game (one clip of Taylor's is retained in the opening cutscenes, however).
  • The following audio cues no longer occur:
    • Mario, the Mini-Marios, and the Toads laughing at Donkey Kong before the first final boss battle and Donkey Kong Plus.
    • Mario asking, "Hey, Donkey Kong, are you okay?" in the cutscene before the "Plus" levels.
    • The Mini-Mario calling Donkey Kong "monkey man" in the final cutscene.
    • Mario saying, "Okey dokey! Let's-a go!" when unlocking a door.
    • Mario saying, "Mamma mia!" when all the Mini-Marios get destroyed.
    • Mario saying, "We did it! Good job, little guy." when the Mini-Mario unlocks a door.

Reception

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Nintendo Switch Charles Harte, GameInformer 8/10 "Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a simple game, but as is the case with Mario's best titles, there's an elegance to that simplicity. Nintendo has done a stellar job adding features to make it more palatable to a modern audience, but it only comes together because of how well the classic levels hold up. Mario and Donkey Kong have been rivals for over 40 years, and this game admirably carries that legacy forward."
Nintendo Switch Steve Watts, GameSpot 7/10 "Mario vs. Donkey Kong feels very retro in certain respects. It's designed to be played in short bursts, which can feel anachronistic on a modern handheld hybrid that's perfectly suited for long play sessions. But it's also a throwback in the best ways, recapturing the clever aha moments of puzzle-platforming that made its predecessors so memorable, all while packing distinct visual improvements and quality-of-life tweaks that bring out its charm like never before."
Nintendo Switch Eric Van Allen, Destructoid 7.5/10 "I could see myself blasting through levels of Mario vs. Donkey Kong while waiting for a flight at the airport, or on the train to work, and that’s the best-case scenario for this package, brimming with bite-sized platforming challenges. It may not contain all the spectacle of others, but there’s enough precise jumping and quick calculations here to satisfy the more hardcore, goal-oriented, score-chasing Mario players around."
