Mario has become so famous and popular in the Mushroom Kingdom that he has decided to establish the [[Mario Toy Company]], which has developed a new toy called the Mini-Mario. In the opening cutscene, as Donkey Kong surfs through the channels of his television set, he sees a commercial for the Mini-Marios. Donkey Kong instantly adores the toys and heads to the Toy Store to buy some, but finds that they are all sold out. Donkey Kong turns around and sees the Mario Toy Company, deciding to loot it of its Mini-Marios. | Mario has become so famous and popular in the Mushroom Kingdom that he has decided to establish the [[Mario Toy Company]], which has developed a new toy called the Mini-Mario.

Upon seeing Donkey Kong barge into the factory, the Toads become frightened; they do not attempt to stop Donkey Kong from stealing the toys, as he collects Mini-Marios encased in [[Crystal Ball|crystal ball]]s and places them into a large bag with his [[Emblem|emblem]], leaving the building afterward. Mario then notices Donkey Kong and starts chasing him. | ||

Unlike games in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series of platformers, Mario always loses a [[Extra life|life]] upon taking damage, and cannot improve his defensive capabilities. Different methods of losing a life cause different animations to play that show Mario being injured, accompanied by three unique musical jingles; these include the standard animation of collapsing onto the ground, being set on fire, electrocuted, squished, and falling from a large height and landing on his head. If the fall is not big enough, Mario may land on his back instead, stunning him and leaving him vulnerable for a short time. | Unlike games in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series of platformers, Mario always loses a [[Extra life|life]] upon taking damage, and cannot improve his defensive capabilities.

Each level also features a [[Time Limit|time limit]], which acts identically to that of the ''Super Mario'' series. If the time limit reaches 30 seconds, Mario exclaims "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" and a warning theme starts to play, which is an arrangement of the theme in the same scenario from ''Donkey Kong'' for the Game Boy.

If the time limit reaches 30 seconds, Mario exclaims "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" and a warning theme starts to play, which is an arrangement of the theme in the same scenario from ''Donkey Kong'' for the Game Boy. If the time limit runs out, the screen will say "TIME'S UP!!" and Mario loses a life. When Mario grabs the key and opens a locked door, the remaining time in the first area will be added to the time limit in the second area. In the Japanese and European versions of the game, this is made explicitly clear by the numbers of the time limit being sucked into the door as Mario leaves, whereupon they are shown being added to the second area's time limit with a addition symbol. | ||
Mario can perform additional moves besides [[jump]]ing, such as [[handstand]]s and [[backflip]]s. To defeat enemies, Mario must pick up objects and throw them at enemies, reminiscent of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Throughout the level, there are some collectibles that Mario can collect. Three are pivotal in earning a high score, which are different colored [[Present (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|presents]]. Earning a high enough score, beating the default score, earns a star for that level. The stars later are used to unlock Expert levels. | Mario can perform additional moves besides [[jump]]ing, such as [[handstand]]s and [[backflip]]s.

''Donkey Kong Plus'', an updated version of the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'']] | The game was initially planned as ''Donkey Kong Plus'', an updated version of the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'']]. The only known difference between the original and ''Plus'', aside from the graphics, was the addition of a level designer to be used through the [[Nintendo GameCube]] for players to create their own levels with. However, the game vanished the following year, and was replaced by ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', with the level editor gone and the graphics replaced with pre-rendered graphics. However, the game's sequel, ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' had this feature and took advantage of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi Connection]]. | ||

In a more critical review, Stephen Carvell of VideoGamer praises the game's visuals, but criticizes the game's level design, calling the reliance on the color-coded switches "tedious" and the later levels for using the same puzzles. He also criticized the Mini-Mario levels for having "appalling level design that smacks of a lack of ideas." He gave the game a 6/10.<ref>https://www.videogamer.com/gba/mario_dk/review.html</ref> | In a more critical review, Stephen Carvell of VideoGamer praises the game's visuals, but criticizes the game's level design, calling the reliance on the color-coded switches "tedious" and the later levels for using the same puzzles.

In the | In Spooky House on the 3rd level, in the next room, Mario should go near the far right spring.
