Mario and DK? Again? Why am I not surprised ...

This game is great for people who have never really played the first Mario vs DK on Game Boy. Every level has something new to watch out for, and take less than about 2 minutes to beat. There are 6 worlds, and about 7 levels for each world, and one last level to face off with DK.

In the first day, you will have beaten the first 4-5 worlds. In the second day, you will struggle to beat the 6th, and whatever else is after that. In the third, you will go all the way back and try to get the highest score for every level. You get the idea: this is an easy game. However, I find the replay value to be a little high because it's just plain fun to do all of these aerobic jumping exercises with an overweight plumber! The game in itself is so cute! Watch Mario chase after Donkey Kong saying, "Come back here, you silly monkey!" It's just hilarious. Some of the levels can get just a little frustrating. But look, I'm 17. I don't throw my GBA against a wall. Your child might, however.

Overall, it is a great game.
If you're 17, rent it first (I bought it, but I don't care). If you're anywhere from 6 or 7 to 14 years old, this will be a great game for you. The game might be too easy for us old geezers afterall ...

A good puzzle game

This game is fun,although I am only just now starting the 3rd level. I do like puzzle games. This isnt like the Super Mario games in the past which I truly like alot. I suppose you have to enjoy solving puzzles to like this game.

Very Fun and Addictive!

The high resolution graphics are awesome on this game. This strategy game will turn your brain to mush. The first five levels are easy, but progress to get harder. There is another 6 worlds and six levels in each world after you complete the first set of 6 worlds. The second set does get tricky and hard! I would recommend this game to any Mario fan or people who love the original Donkey Kong! This game has plenty of hours of enjoyment! This game easily would win for the GBA Game of the year!

FUN!!

I don't really care for action games and missed classic Donkey Kong a lot!! This is much better and improved... actually requires thinking, planning, and strategy. I bought the Game Boy Advance SP just for this revival of Donkey Kong :). In the beginning it seems too easy... it's not a horribly hard game either, but it's not about killing or fighting, and that I do like.

This is a revamped game concept from the somewhat known gameboy game "Donkey Kong(1994, not the original)". This game was an amazing game at the time to me. There's a puzzles in each level kind of and you have the chase Donkey Kong down. I forgot the storyline in the original 1994 game. I've always borrowed it from some friends about ten years ago.

The new storyline is quite funny and absurd. Donkey wants these Mini Mario becaue he saw them on a commercial on TV and I guess he's really bored and the psychology of the TV makes him and everyone else want these toys. He goes to the store and finds that the little Marios are sold out. He's furious and looks across the street to find the Mario Toy Company. He bust up the toadies and steals lots of Mario toys. Mario is angered ,and he wants the toys back. OK. He chases Donkey Kong down through quite a few levels and catches a mini Mario at the end of each level...once he gets six, Mario must go through a level and lead all the toys in a box...this makes an interesting concept where you must lead the toys and collect letters T-O-Y(like Tony hawk with SKATE) and must be led to a toy chest. Good concept.

The levels are great with conveyor belts, switches, keys, shy guys, birds, etc. Some of the levels are a little easy...some hard...some in between. Mario always banters like he does in Mario 64 with h9is "Mama mias." and etc.

If this sounds good to you...buy it. Because it's quite fun and there's a classic 94 and even 80's feel to the levels, great graphics, mario's banter,etc. The only drawback really is there's not much replay value...it'll only last so long before you beat the game. But you can stop playing anytime and pick off where you left off...it's not like an RPG where you have to play forever.

It's a little hard.

The best part is you get to fight Donkey Kong after every World. It gets too difficult too fast. Sometimes I get confused of what to do.

Donkey Kong is Back!

So Mario Won The First Round,But Now IT'S ONE! Mario Vs.Donkey Kong! The Victory In Donkey Kong JR Was A Great One. But Will Donkey Wrap This Up??I do Have A Bio For The Game:

Mario Builds Mario Toys. But Just Then Donkey Kong Steps In!! A Massive Fight!!!!!!! Will Mario Redo His Victory, Or Donkey Kong Is Winner!! Another Massive Fight Of The Classic Plumber Mario vs. The Brute Donkey Kong!!!!

Well In One Level Mario Goes With Mario Toys (Cool). As We All know It's Time For A Rumble In the Jungle! Not To be Realative with Ali. If You Want To See The Rumble Pick Up A copy Of "Mario Vs. Donkey Kong" At Stores. NOW!

this is great!
