'''''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''''' is a game for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It brings back [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]]'s rivalry from the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise's first game, ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. The game is more or less a spiritual successor to ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]], as it features the return of many original elements such as the construction site setting, Mario's athleticism, and using the [[hammer]], and borrows elements from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', especially with picking up enemies and items. Despite bringing elements from the previous [[Genre#Platform|platformers]], ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' is more of a puzzle platformer; Mario must find the best route to complete the level by hitting switches and interacting with other objects, often in a specific order. This game spawned multiple sequels and became the first installment of the  [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]; this is the only game in the series, however, to feature Mario himself as a playable character, since the later games have the player control [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]]s.  

 

 

 

 

[[File:Cutscene MarioShoutsAtDonkey.png|thumb|240px|Mario confronting Donkey Kong for stealing the Mini-Marios|left]]

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.

 

In the cutscene played when starting a file, the factory where the Mini-Marios are produced is shown to be managed by three [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s. Upon seeing Donkey Kong barge into the factory, the Toads become frightened; they are unable 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.

 

After Mario chases Donkey Kong across six worlds, Donkey Kong checks his bag only to realize that it is empty, as all the Mini-Marios he stole have dropped. Mario, the Mini-Marios, and the three Toads laugh at Donkey Kong for this; enraged, Donkey Kong grabs the three Toads and climbs to the top of [[Donkey Kong (level)|a tall building under construction]]. Mario rescues the three Toads and defeats Donkey Kong, causing him to fall off the building while the end credits roll; however, after this, a truck containing additional Mini-Marios pulls up to the building, which Donkey Kong falls directly onto. The Mini-Marios fall onto the ground and their crystal balls break, leaving them clamoring as they surround Donkey Kong. Mario asks Donkey Kong if he is okay before Donkey Kong immediately steals the Mini-Marios surrounding him, prompting Mario to give chase once again.

After Mario chases Donkey Kong through six more worlds, Donkey Kong checks his bag a second time. Presuming that Donkey Kong's bag is empty, Mario laughs at him until six Mini-Marios drop from the bag, which Donkey Kong grabs as he flees. Finally, Donkey Kong faces Mario in a [[Donkey Kong Plus|giant robot]] holding the Mini-Marios, which Mario promptly frees while fighting Donkey Kong, eventually wrecking the machine and electrocuting Donkey Kong in the process. After this, Mario is about to scold Donkey Kong for what he did, but finds that Donkey Kong is crying in pity and shame. Mario cheers him up by giving him a free Mini-Mario. Donkey Kong gets what he has wanted all along, while Mario and the remaining Mini-Marios celebrate as the true end credits roll.

[[File:mvdk2.png|thumb|240px|right]]

Each of the game's six worlds is divided into eight levels. For the first six levels within each world, Mario must find a key and open up a door to the second half of the level, which is a [[checkpoint]]. There, Mario will find the Mini-Mario toy that Donkey Kong dropped. If Mario is defeated in the second half of the level, his points reset back to the points he earned in the first half of the level. At the beginning of each level, there is a short sequence of automatic gameplay showing what Mario needs to do or what he may face before playing the level. This sequence also explains what moves Mario needs to use to complete the level, displaying combinations of buttons to press.

 

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.

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 runs out, Mario will say "Mamma mia, 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.  

Once Mario completes a level and collects enough presents, he can play a short [[Minigame|bonus game]]<ref>"''When you collect all three presents in a level, you get a chance to play one of two bonus games and maybe even win some extra lives.''" &mdash; ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' North American instruction booklet, page 26.</ref> to earn extra lives. One present may have a [[1-Up Mushroom]], one may have a [[2 UP]], another may have a [[3 UP]], or a [[5 UP]], and one present may have a Donkey Kong head that gives zero lives; this is shown at the beginning of the bonus game. One bonus game is stopping a scrolling arrow on top of the desired present while the other has Mario swapping presents so Donkey Kong's fist squashes an undesired present.

The seventh level in each world is a Mini-Mario level. Mario leads the six Mini-Mario toys he collected back to their [[Toy box (object)|toy box]]; however, he must make sure they avoid obstacles along the way. This leads into a battle with Donkey Kong, with each Mini-Mario saved becoming a [[Heart Point|health point]].<ref>"''For each Mini-Mario you rescue in that world's Mini-Mario level, you get an extra health point for your fight with Donkey Kong.''" &mdash; ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' North American instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> For example, if Mario saves all six of the Mini-Mario toys, he will be able to be hit six times by Donkey Kong before losing a life. If Mario runs out of time or loses all of his health points, the player will lose a life and must restart the battle with Donkey Kong. If the player does not complete the Mini-Mario level before entering the boss battle, Mario will start the fight with four health points, and getting a [[Game Over]] will require Mario to replay the Mini-Mario level.

After Mario has beaten the six worlds and defeated Donkey Kong, six "Plus" Worlds are unlocked, numbered 1+, 2+, and so on. There are six standard levels and one boss level in each Plus World, and there are no Mini-Mario levels. Mario must get to a Mini-Mario holding a key and lead it to the exit doorway. If either Mario or Mini-Mario is defeated, the player loses a life and must restart the level. There is only one part per level in the Plus Worlds, and they are designed to be more difficult than the main worlds. There are still Donkey Kong boss levels in the Plus Worlds. In those levels, the player always starts with six health points and has 120 seconds to defeat Donkey Kong except in [[Donkey Kong Plus]], where they have 300 seconds.

For the "Expert" levels, a certain number of stars collected by beating high scores are required to unlock levels. There are twelve Expert levels. Additionally, if the player leaves or restarts the level in any mode before they clear the level for the first time, they lose a life. If the level is already complete, the player will not lose a life when choosing to exit the level. However, the player will still lose a life if they retry the level, even if it is completed. In the "Card-e+" levels, Mario starts off with infinite lives. There is no bonus game for collecting all the presents in either the Expert or Card-e+ levels.

The Expert levels are a group of twelve levels that test the player's skills. In order to beat them, the player must find a key and go through the door. These levels (save for boss levels and the regular worlds' final boss) are the only levels that don't involve Mini-Marios. They are first unlocked by beating the true final boss then by stars obtained. There are no set high scores for these levels and collecting all three Presents in a level does not let the player play one of the bonus games. The music that plays during the Expert levels is at a faster tempo, and gradually increases in tempo as the time limit decrements.

'''Card-e+''' (カードe+)<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbPV7vWuSKQ]</ref> is a game mode exclusive to the Japanese version of the game, allowing [[e-Reader]] cards to be loaded containing new levels. The mode is hidden by default, but it can be enabled by connecting a second Game Boy Advance with a link cable and [[Media:MvDK e-Reader Instructions.png|following the prompts]] that appear upon doing so. The cards are very rare due to their limited distribution. The first card was given to attendees of the 20th Next Generation World Hobby Fair in June 2004.<ref>http://www.a-suma.com/game/gba/card-e/mvsd_e1/mvsd_e1.htm</ref> The next five cards were given out as a set in a sweepstakes by ''{{wp|CoroCoro Comic}}'', which hosts the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga, in August 2004. Only 1,000 of these sets were ever released.<ref>http://www.a-suma.com/game/gba/card-e/mvsd_e2/mvsd_e2.htm</ref>

|Conveyor Belts appear in mass in some levels. They are used to transport keys and to help Mario through narrow areas. Their direction can be changed with a [[Direction Switch]].

|These items can be carried and thrown by Mario. He can use them to defeat certain enemies, or as auxiliary platforms to reach other platforms or to pass long gaps with [[Spike Trap|spikes]].

''Donkey Kong Plus'', an updated version of the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'']], was initially planned. 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 in favor of ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', with the level editor gone and the graphics replaced with pre-rendered graphics. The game's sequel, ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', reintroduced this feature and made use of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' is one of the few ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games to be developed by an American team, [[Nintendo Software Technology Corporation]] (NST). In NST's team, Shigeki Yamashiro is the producer while Yukimi Shimura is the director. Wing S. Cho designed the game and Yoonjoon Lee is the engineering director.

''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' is generally well-received by critics, aggregating an average of 81/100 on Metacritic<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/game-boy-advance/mario-vs-donkey-kong Metacritic average]</ref> and 79.07% on GameRankings.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191209012347/https://www.gamerankings.com/gba/914981-mario-vs-donkey-kong/index.html GameRankings average]</ref> Craig Harris of IGN gave the game an 8.5/10, "Great".<ref>https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/05/24/mario-vs-donkey-kong</ref>. Harris praised the game for having "faithfully retained the Donkey Kong arcade game's look and feel". His reaction is mild about the Donkey Kong boss levels, calling them "the ones with the least amount of creativity". He criticized the presentation, calling the sprites "awkward but admittedly well-animated 3D rendered" while the voice-overs from Mario and Donkey Kong are unnecessary, although not distracting. Despite these, he praises the game's faithfulness of the Game Boy Advance ''Donkey Kong'' games, with its fantastic level design and lasting appeal.

Marcel van Duyn of Nintendolife has echoed some of IGN's statements, deeming the game to be "a worthy successor", giving the game an 8/10.<ref>https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/gba/mario_vs_donkey_kong</ref> As in the IGN review, Duyn criticized the game's pre-rendered sprites, saying that it "although it actually looks pretty good, it's a bit strange to see this style in a Nintendo title again after all this time." Duyn is disappointed that "the series has only had Lemmings-esque installments since", believing "the original formula is perfectly worthy of another day in the limelight."

|align="left"|"''Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a standout game that fans of portable puzzles will have a good time with. It also plays the nostalgia card very well, making references all over the place. The music will occasionally go all the way back to the original [[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]], including the classic "I've got a hammer" music. The game also includes vines and droppable fruit like in Donkey Kong Jr., acrobatic moves that are reminiscent of [[Super Mario 64]], and the ability to stand on, pick up, and toss enemies just like in [[Super Mario Bros. 2]]. Both on its own and as a tribute to Mario's legacy, Mario vs. Donkey Kong does a great job.''"

===Game softlock===

In the second room of [[Level 3-3 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|Level 3-3]], Mario must go near the spring on the far right side of the screen. When the bottommost red [[Polterguy]] is close to the invisible wall on the right side of the screen, but is not touching the wall, Mario must press the red switch to turn the Polterguy into a stationary block. If the space in between the Polterguy and the wall is roughly equivalent to the width of Mario's sprite, Mario must perform a high jump on the spring while moving to the right. If performed correctly, Mario will not collide with the invisible wall, causing him to fly off screen, where he falls briefly until taking damage. At this point, Mario would normally lose a life and the room would be restarted; however, instead, all elements of the level continue to move indefinitely without the timer decrementing, putting the game in an [[unwinnable state]], where the only action the player can take is to reset the system.

===Mario floats in midair while crushed===

In [[Level x-3]], if Mario gets crushed by a [[Thwomp Platform]] while standing on a [[lift]] platform, Mario will be flattened and lose a life, but as the animation of him floating to the ground is played, he will still follow the movements of the platform. This can cause Mario to continuously float in the air, and can also cause him to float upwards.

===Stopped voice clips===

At any time when the player is opening a locked door, they can press {{button|gba|L}} and {{button|gba|R}} at the same time to activate the map scrolling mode. When this mode is exited, the music jingle at the end of a level and the door's sound effects will still play, but Mario's sound effects will not. In the PLUS levels, the Mini-Mario's sound effects will also not play.
