 * talk about Mario is Missing!, Mario's Time Machine, Donkey Kong (game), Dr. Mario (game), Nintendo PlayChoice-10, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Dr. Wario, Fly Swatter, Wario's Sheriff, Bird & Beans, Golf, Donkey Kong Classics, Donkey Kong Jr. (game), Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Math Lesson, Donkey Kong 3 (see 1983 and 1984), Mario Bros.

The articles begins here:

A [name of the page] is a term that design any newer version of a previously released video game. There are five main categories of [name of the page]s.

Remakes
A remake is a game released usually long after the original game, on a new system, with updated graphics to fit with the new engine capacities, and additions brought to plot and gameplay (all these conditions may not be met in every case). They generally have a new name.

Ports
A port is a game released on a new platform than the original game, with some minor changes such as new controls or new graphics to fit the new system. Compilations are considered as ports since they're compilations of ports. Usually, they are very close to the original game and share the same name.

Re-releases
A re-release is a game released on the same platform than the original game, with only superficial or inconsequential changes. The name may be different than the original game.


 * Mario's FUNdamentals is a re-release of Mario's Game Gallery. The only difference is the name.

Retools
A retool, also called a sprite-swapped game, is a game made after applying a graphical overhaul on a previously released game, with or without minor gameplay differences as well. It's generally released on the same platform than the original game.
