Mario vs. Donkey Kong was a surprise announcement back in the September 2023 Nintendo Direct. The original Game Boy Advance version of the game was itself a partial remake of Donkey Kong ’94 (as it’s colloquially known), and while loved by many, it hardly seemed the sort of title that Nintendo would think about remastering. Yet here we are, just a little more than a month away from its launch on February 16, 2024 and the game is very much about to become a reality.
If you’ve been curious about Mario vs. Donkey, especially if you’re a returning player wondering what’s different about this version of the game, then you’re in luck, as Nintendo has put out a new trailer that delves into what everyone can expect:
Some key takeaways from the game include:
- Over 130 levels to play
- Two new worlds, Merry Mini-Land and Slippery Summit, which feature new enemies, mechanics, and themes
- Two-player co-op (as Toad)
- Casual Mode for an easier difficulty level and Classic for those who want the challenge of the original
- Plus Levels and Expert Challenges
- Time Attack
All of this is presented with a fresh, new coat of HD paint, making Mario vs. Donkey Kong and exciting proposition indeed for Nintendo Switch owners. Will you be giving this one a go? Tell us below and online!
