This game reminds me of the old Donkey Kong games that I used to play. It is easy enough for my 7 year old and me to play, but challenging enough for my 13 year old daughter. One of my favorite Game boy Advance games.

The older DK with better graphics

This game is really fun with good graphics. It is like the older one but with more stuff and different story line. Instead of saving Peach you save these Mini Mario Toys from Donkey Kong. The levels are challenging for people who aren't hard core gamers. Gamers might think it to easy. I'm enbetween and I enjoy playing it.

Addicting but sometimes hard

This is a very addicting game, especially in the first few levels where you can pretty much breeze through them. However, near the end of the game, I have encountered problems to the point where I just gave up, figuring the frustration wasn't worth it. Some of the music is good, some not so good. I also encountered occasional problems with controlling Mario. Overall, I would say this game is quite good. I just wish it was a little bit easier near the end.

Interesting Arcade/Puzzle mix

Ever since I bought this game, I've barely set it down. It's a highly addictive arcade-platformer with quite a bit of puzzle strategies integrated with the gameplay. The game's 100+ levels (yes, there are that many when you count all the difficulty levels) range from simple jumping-and-climbing rooms to enormous chambers where one badly-timed movement could mean game over. The game takes several recognizable elements from the classic Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. arcade games, including climbing up and swinging between ropes to knock items down and climbing ladders and moving platforms while jumping over incoming barrels. It also introduces some new concepts, such as leading a troop of half a dozen half-size Marios past enemies and obstacles into a toybox.
Unfortunately, the game also has a few weak points. For instance, the controls are sometimes less responsive than they need to be, making levels more difficult thatn they need to be (not that some of the later ones aren't already that way). Also, when picking up and throwing items, it's difficult to get the game to register which direction you are throwing the item/object/enemy in. You might try to throw it straight up and end up tossing it off a ledge. Still, with probably the best graphics seen in any GBA game and a fun soundtrack that fits with the gameplay and doesn't distract the player, this is definitely worth a shot for anyone who likes classic arcade-style games with a bit of a puzzle spin.

The DS version is slightly better

Great game, overall. I'm a huge fan of Mario games (especially the original ones) and this one was a lot of fun to play. I think the DS version is slightly better because it's easier to scroll through the level (so you can see what items you need to find and where you need to go), but that's a minor inconvenience. Overall, I give it an A- because there are better Mario games out there but if you're a Mario fan, you'll like this one.

this is great!

I just bought this game a couple days ago. I like the graphics on it. The game play reminds me of the Donkey Kong game that was released on Game Boy back in 1994. It starts out easy, but gets more difficult as you get further into the game. I am on level four now, and the screen that I am on is very difficult. You have to grab the key and hit direction switches to make the belts go the other way, and you have to hit red and yellow switches to change the blocks into solid ones. I have tried everything to get through that level, and I am quite frustrated right now. If there was a player's guide for this game, it would really help me out a real lot. I can maybe get some pointers on how to beat each level. Overall, this game is fun and difficult at the same time.

It sucks

This game sucks! It has horrible graphics and bad story line!I suggest you don't waste your money on this crapy game, get something a little more interesting and more challenging. The only reason i gave this a rating of 1 star is because I like donkey kong but just not this game.I repeat do not buy it.
