Mario Vs. Donkey Kong on the Game Boy Advance is a very interesting game to play. If you have ever played an online game called Super Mario 63, then you would know that it is a little similar to this. The game is fun. I really enjoyed the game play of it. It is, how you say, the prequel of those Mario Vs. Donkey Kong games where you use the mini Mario to play the game. This game is kind of like a strategy-like game. The game is a lot of fun and I guarantee you that this game is worth trying.

Graphics - 8

The graphics are good. I can tell that Mario does not look as realistic as he was in the games with mini Marios, but it is a Game Boy Advance game and it is suppose to be like that. The effects are very good too. With the picking up items and attacking the enemies really makes the game fun.

Sound - 8

The sound is very good. It is like a mixture of a Mario song and a thinking song, and it goes well with every level in the game. The sound effects are amazing, especially when you hear the sound of Mario getting the hammer, it brings back that Donkey Kong on the NES sound. Really good music.

Addictiveness - 8

Like I said, the game is fun. It has that feeling where you can't stop playing the game, if you are a big fan of Mario games.

Story - 9

The story is kind of weird, but it fits in with the game play. It starts out with Donkey Kong seeing the mini Marios being sold and that he really wants them. So he goes to the store as fast as he can and then realizes that they are all out. He gets frustrated and sees the mini Mario factory (whatever the place is called) and goes in there and takes all of them. He runs off and it is up to Mario to go and retrieve them back. Kind of weird how Donkey Kong would want to get that instead of bananas, but that is the story of the game.

Depth - 8

The game has plenty of things to offer. For instance, there are 8 levels in each (6) area. I am not sure if there is anything special if you beat every one of them, but they give you (8 x 6) 48 levels and they are very fun to play. Another thing is that you can do moves that you would not expect like doing a side jump (run, then move the opposite direction and then hit the jump button) and doing things that does not make sense like doing a handstand to avoid being hit by falling bricks. This game has so many interesting things that Mario would do.

Difficulty - 3

The game is not that hard if you are one of those people that are good at puzzle/strategy. Although, some can be tricky and you may need to look them up. Other than that, most of the levels and enemies are very easy.

Wrap Things Up...

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong is a very interesting and good game to play. I highly recommend trying this game out if you have not already. This is a game that will prevent you from boredom.
