One of my favourite 3DS series was the Mario Vs Donkey Kong Minis games. I loved the strategy of guiding the Mario minis to their destination to get the maximum score possible. What I didn\u2019t know until years later was that the series started with a slightly different game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That game is Mario Vs Donkey Kong. Fans of the series rejoiced when a remake to this Gameboy Advanced title was announced via a Nintendo Direct in September 2023<\/a>. Gamers can try out a demo of the game ahead of its full release on the 16th<\/sup> February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s In The Demo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The demo allowed me to play four select levels from the first world. Mario makes his way through levels collecting presents and rescuing Mario Minis. It\u2019s kind of a platforming title but don\u2019t expect the normal Mario moveset here. Actions are limited in a way that makes movement more strategic. Players will need to hit switches, spin on poles and avoid enemies to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last level in the demo is more akin to the Mario Vs Donkey Kong Minis series I loved so. Mario has to guide the minis through a level, using them to pick up collectibles and avoid traps. Getting as many to the toybox at the end of the level as possible gives a higher score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario Vs Donkey Kong comes with two difficulty settings: Casual and Classic. In Classic levels must be completed within the allotted time. Casual mode is an easier experience, with no time limit and generous checkpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario Vs Donkey Kong<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While short, the Mario Vs Donkey Kong demo gives a good indication of what\u2019s in store. This game is about puzzles and thinking about what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario Vs Donkey Kong demo is available<\/a> now on the Nintendo eShop. The full game<\/a> releases on the 16th<\/sup> February for AUD$69.95.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
