Mario Vs. Donkey Kong goes ape on Switch today

Donkey Kong has stolen all the Mini-Mario toys from the factory, and it’s up to Mario to get them back! Run, jump, and backflip your way to retrieving them across over 130 levels in Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, a puzzle-style twist on classic platforming action. The rivalry that originally heated up on Game Boy Advance returns on the Switch with newly added co-op play, brand-new worlds, updated music and visuals, and other new ways to play.

Put your brain to work and figure out the best way to reach the Mini-Mario toys in puzzle-platforming challenges across eight distinct worlds. Watch for enemies, dodge hazards, and use the tools scattered around. See if you can earn a Perfect rating on each level! Observe your surroundings and plan your actions carefully to collect the key and rescue the Mini-Mario.

In some levels, you’ll have to lead a pack of the mechanical fellas through perilous places. Try to collect all the letter blocks and then safely guide as many Mini-Marios as you can into their toy box! At the end of each world, use everything you’ve learned to defeat Donkey Kong in an arcade-inspired platforming battle. Don’t go easy on him because he certainly won’t go easy on you!

A second player can join the fun as Toad on the same system in Two-Player Mode! Put your heads together to solve any of the more than 130 levels. You might even notice some differences in them when you buddy up.

In addition to familiar worlds like Mario Toy Company, Donkey Kong Jungle, and Mystic Forest, you can enjoy two new themed locations filled with new obstacles and challenges.
