Mario vs...
Review Mario vs. Donkey Kong (3DS eShop / GBA)
A worthy successor
The Mario vs. Donkey Kong series has been going for quite a while now, with four entries under its belt.

Feature The Many Faces Of Donkey Kong, Nintendo's 40-Year-Old Gorilla
Four decades of DK
Nintendo’s monkey of manifold mantles – one Donkey Kong, Esq. – recently turned 40. Forty years young and still so vital, but it could be reasonably argued that the ol’ Kongmeister has been undergoing a bit of an identity crisis for most of his lifespan. The man-ape has turned from heel to face to heel more times than The...

About The Game
Mario vs. Donkey Kong pits the Nintendo mascot against his old adversary in a unique twist on the platform genre that made them famous.
The mischievous ape has swiped all the Mini Mario toys from Mario's toy factory, so it's up to you to rescue them from across six inventive worlds. You'll be scratching your head at puzzles in some stages before leading Mini Marios to safety in the next, each world ending with a showdown against Donkey Kong himself!
