Description

Donkey Kong has stolen the Mini-Marios! Solve platforming puzzles to get them back.

Run, jump, and backflip your way to rescuing the stolen Mini-Mario toys in this puzzling twist on Mario action. Obstacles like spikes, moving platforms, and falling bricks stand in your way—put your brain to work and figure out the best way to reach the Mini-Marios! You’ll have to master Color Switches, Warp Boxes, and more as the difficulty ramps up across more than 130 levels, including challenging Plus and Expert levels.

Tailor the challenge to your playstyle or bring a friend along in local multiplayer!

Seeking a laid-back experience? The newly-added Casual Style removes time limits and adds checkpoints so you can relax and think. Looking for a tough puzzle-platforming challenge? Classic Style has got you covered with the timed levels and one-hit defeats of the original Game Boy™ Advance game. But that’s not all—you can bring a friend along in the newly-added Two-Player Mode, which adds an extra objective for Mario and Toad to take on together!

A classic rivalry reignites with updated visuals, new levels, and more ways to play!

With overhauled graphics, music, and cutscenes, this revitalized classic is looking better than ever. But wait—there’s more! Not only do you get new ways to play with Casual Style and Two-Player Mode, you also get two brand new worlds: Merry Mini-Land and Slippery Summit! That’s two new worlds, each with eight levels (and even more Plus levels), featuring new environments, enemies, and mechanics. And that’s not all! When you finish with those, you can test your skills in a newly-added Time Attack mode that will push your puzzle-platforming speed to the limit!

Its just ok

If you want a very chilled puzzle game, then yes this is for you. It's definitely not worth the price tag though. I can't say that I would actually recommend this game due to the price it's listed for. I got it on sale $30 and still feel that it was a steep price tag for the value that the game brings to the table. Overall, it's just an ok game if you wanna play something slow paced and kill some time.

Not fun

This game is not worth the price at all. The game is boring and repetitive. It feels like you’re playing the same course over and over with simply the background changing.

Super cute!

It’s a cute game! Not sure what DK has to do with it but the puzzles are entertaining and easy for my 5yr old. No, it’s not as good as Mario Odyssey or Captain Toad but it’s entertaining and relaxing.

I love Mario and Donkey Kong. That's why I bought it.

I just bought a Nintendo Switch Lite and this game is fun and easier to understand than Super Peach. I have to return Super Peach to Gamestop. I love most of the video games from the Super Mario Bros franchise. Too bad there was no instruction manual just in case, but it's fine, I'll keep this game.

To easy and short

It was fun in 2 player but so easy and so short. Not worth $50, I wish I had waited until it was older and only spend $10-20 on it.

Not fhat fun

Wouldn’t recommend this game. We were disappointed in the puzzle like games. My 5 year old had a little bit of a hard time and eventually didn’t want to play again. Wish I could refund.

Don't waste your money

Definitely doesn’t compare to the original Mario games and or even Odyssey and Wonder. It feels rushed and has nothing to do with Donkey Kong.

Save your money, actual value $9.99

Do not waste your money! First ever game review! Nintendo put no effort into this game. Yes it looks awesome but the gameplay is horrible. Mario says he stiff the traditional game and his movement is not there. a very offbeat soundtrack with no interactions and occasional woo hoo. Complete the first five levels with my little one and his response was “this is a bad game no more! “ it is not kid friendly! The mechanics is just trash!

classic style game play, modernized

My kids are enjoying this game. I myself have never played the original. For those that havent played the original, this is more of a puzzle/strategy game more than the usual adventure Mario game. Younger kids may not find this as fun as Wonder. The graphics are modern and the music is definitely fun.

Disappointed/Want to Return!

I’m really disappointed. This game isn’t very hard to play and Donkey Kong is barely in it. I feel like it’s just a waste of money. If it’s more than $10, save your money and buy something else.
