Editing Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)

|The series sees Mario running a [[Mario Toy Company|company]] which produces and distributes automated clockwork toys designed after himself and other characters. As the toys prove to be a large success in subsequent games, Mario also opens various theme parks to celebrate them. He is only playable in the first game of the series, where he chases Donkey Kong to retrieve the stolen Mini toys. Here, he exhibits an extensive repertoire of movements including the [[handstand]], [[backflip]] and [[Wire Spin|wire spin]], much like in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]. Mario has a supporting role in the following games, transporting the Minis to different areas and helping them defeat Donkey Kong without direct involvement.

|Donkey Kong is the main antagonist and the character that rises the action in most games. He presents great interest for the Mini toys and goes as far as to steal the entire stock from the [[Mario Toy Company]] in the first game. However, in the following games, his interest is directed to Pauline, whom he impulsively kidnaps out of infatuation. Donkey Kong poses as the boss at the end of each world throughout most of the series, where he often occupies one position from which he sends various attacks at the playable characters. He always comes to terms with Mario and Pauline at the end of each game and even has a protagonistic role in ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]'', where he participates in the activities of other characters.
