Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series): Difference between revisions

|'''''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''''' is a 2D puzzle platformer and the only game in the series to star Mario as a playable character, putting the rivalry between him and Donkey Kong in the limelight. After seeing an ad for Mini Mario toys on TV, Donkey Kong rushes to the toy store to buy one. He soon learns that the store is out of stock and decides to steal all Minis from the Mario Toy Company across the street, prompting Mario to chase him through several worlds and retrieve the toys. As it was originally intended to be a remake of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]], ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' features many of the mechanics present in that game, including Mario's extended moveset consisting of the handstand, backflip and wire spin. During each level, Mario has to carry a key to the goal door and unlock it in the first part, then reach and free a captured Mini Mario in the second part.
