Additionally, the game debuts a redesigned logo for the ''Donkey Kong'' series. Despite [[Charles Martinet]] stepping down from his role as [[Mario]], several of his voice clips are reused in this game. | '''''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''''' is a [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue#remakes|remake]] of the 2004 [[Game Boy Advance]] game of [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong|the same name]] released worldwide on February 16, 2024.
