    Short burst of fun

    This game is a fun little puzzle platformer staring Mario. The graphics are crisp and bright. They really pop out on the switch oled. The gameplay is a bit to easy for a adult but for a kid this game is perfect. New game plus is good for adults but I don't think the game would hold their interest for a full playthrough. The reason for the 3 star review is mainly value. The game is good but for the price I don't see it a worthy value. You can finish the first playthrough in less than 5 hours. At 50.00 I can't recommend it for that price. Especially when there are way more robust offerings on the switch for that price. I picked this up on Mario day for 30 and still think its a bit to pricey for the content within. I would wait for a sale at 20 or below. At that price I would have upped it to 4 stars.

    This game is intense and frustrating at times. But Nintendo doesn't play around with Mario games they seem to deliver all the time!

    Phenomenal game! I have all of the Mario games for the switch and every time a new one comes out I have to buy it! So far I’m on world 5, and I really enjoy Nintendos take on this. It reminds me of the old school game boy advance version that I played as a kid. The courses feel more like solving a puzzle/strategy based. But as a huge Mario fan, I must say this is my favorite game right now. I highly recommend!

    The game got a new generation reboot. Overall fun game, but it is kind of short in missions. The price should be less for the game because it is not that long. But overall fun game.

    A spiritual successor to one of my favorite games on Gameboy, the modern remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a fun, short platformer/puzzle game that isn’t terribly complex, yet provides enough post-game challenges to keep you interested.

    My step son is a gamer like me and since I met him, hes always been more into shooters/multiplayer games like fortnite and apex and i definitely took a leap of faith purchasing him something like this. But i am glad i did it because he's had a blast playing it and he gets so excited every time he completes each level/area. Its a great time for adults who are fans of mario but i do highly recommend having your kids try it out.

    This remake is amazing. Mario is forever going to be one of my favorite games to collect. Even if you don’t plan on playing it it a must have for any game collector. I use my switch for exclusives or what’s meant to be played in the switch. This remake is funny cute and gets harder with the levels. Didn’t get to pre order it for pick up but was able to pick it up in store day of release.

    This is not the original Donkey Kong, it is a fun take on the characters. Enjoyable puzzle levels and situations to solve. Having a bunch of little Marios follow you through the levels like Pickman is a fun touch. You don't have to be perfect to complete the leves and have a fun time.

    I always regretted never playing the Mario vs Donkey Kong series, so when I heard they were remaking the original game, I knew this was the perfect time to jump in. And it has not disappointed one bit. Even 20 years later, this is still a fun and addicting title. In an age of large budget and cinematic focused gaming experiences, it’s nice to enjoy game that’s just focused on simple, yet fun gameplay. Isn’t that what video games are supposed to be?
