Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a modern remake of the original series entry that debuted on the Game Boy Advance. It introduces fresh features like cooperative play and enhanced graphics. The game blends platforming with puzzle-solving, offering a more strategic experience compared to traditional side-scrolling Mario games. Fans of the classic Donkey Kong arcade game or the Game Boy edition will likely find Mario vs. Donkey Kong enjoyable. Our review awarded the remake a 7/10, with critic Steve Watts noting, 'Mario vs. Donkey Kong feels very retro in certain respects, designed for short bursts of play that contrast with the modern handheld's capabilities for long sessions. Yet, it also pays homage to the best aspects of its predecessors, recapturing the clever puzzle-platforming moments that made them memorable, enhanced by visual upgrades and quality-of-life improvements that highlight its charm.'
Other 2024 Switch games featured in Woot's latest gaming deals include The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition.
