    fun game with lots of fun levels, some levels are easy and some take some thinking to finish, but the game is extremely touchy, you barely even get near the enemies and you get defeated

    The game is a lot of fun, but it's very short and very easy. Levels can be completed in 1 minute or less, so you can complete the game in under 5 hours. It's a great game for your kids or if you just want to relax for a while, but don't expect too much of a challenge.

    Great remake of the GBA classic. And the 2 additional world levels and the easy difficulty makes it great.

    A fun and sometimes challenging puzzle platformer that has new visuals and a rescored soundtrack that is well worth the purchase if you haven’t played it before

    Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the Nintendo Switch is a delightful blend of puzzle-solving, strategic gameplay, and classic Mario charm. In this game, players guide Mario through a series of challenging, action-packed puzzles to rescue the Mini Marios that have been captured by the mischievous Donkey Kong. It’s a fresh and engaging twist on the traditional Mario formula, with a unique focus on brain-teasing mechanics. The puzzles are brilliantly designed, offering just the right balance of challenge and fun. Players will need to think critically to navigate through levels, move objects, and avoid obstacles, all while managing to rescue the Mini Marios in increasingly intricate environments. The game’s difficulty ramps up nicely, keeping things fresh and rewarding without feeling overly frustrating. The visuals are bright and colorful, staying true to the vibrant Mario universe, and the animations bring both Mario and Donkey Kong’s signature personalities to life. The music is equally catchy, adding to the game’s lighthearted and energetic atmosphere. What makes Mario vs. Donkey Kong especially fun is its accessibility. While it’s perfect for long-time Mario fans, it’s also easy for newcomers to pick up and enjoy. Plus, the addition of various modes and the ability to create your own levels ensures that there’s always something new to explore. Overall, Mario vs. Donkey Kong on the Switch is a charming and addictive puzzle game that offers hours of entertainment. It’s the perfect mix of familiar Mario magic and new, exciting challenges. Whether you're a seasoned Mario fan or a newcomer to the series, this game is sure to provide plenty of fun and satisfy your puzzle-solving.

    This is not the original Donkey Kong, it is a fun take on the characters. Enjoyable puzzle levels and situations to solve. Having a bunch of little Marios follow you through the levels like Pickman is a fun touch. You don't have to be perfect to complete the leves and have a fun time.

    Fairly Middling Puzzle Platformer

    I was left a bit disappointed after playing this game in how mediocre it was. The difficulty felt very low, the platforming didn’t feel particularly great, and the gimmicks from the levels started to feel a bit repetitive towards the end of each world. The game has some good ideas and the multiplayer is a good time. I’d say that if you were getting the game for a child, they’d have more fun with the puzzle elements.

    Classic Puzzle Fun with a Modern Touch

    I loved the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong back on the Game Boy Advance, and this Switch version brings it back with a clean, polished look and some nice quality-of-life updates. The puzzles are just as fun and clever as I remember, and the addition of co-op makes it even better if you want to play with a friend or younger gamer. It’s not super long or difficult, but it’s a relaxing, satisfying experience that feels very "Nintendo" in all the right ways. A great pickup for fans of classic Mario puzzle games.

    This is a fantastic puzzle action game. There’s an emphasis on puzzle more than action. This is a remaster and the graphics look amazing. There’s also a 2-player option that slightly makes it more challenging. Definitely add this fun game to your collection.

    Great game, challenging with excellent audio and graphics. I'm not sure if this is a remake of the older title because I never owned it. That being said, this is s great game and an absolute must have if you love puzzle games and own a Switch.

    If you like puzzle games, and you like the Mario franchise, this game is for you. it is a remake of the DS game, but it looks great. The sounds and music of the original DK arcade add a great touch

    It's a fun game and I'm glad they remade it for the switch. I feel like it might be a bit over priced but I'm still glad I bought it. I will say the first time I played the game I was a kid and loved it so much but as an adult I flew right through it. If your an adult and looking for something more challenging this game may not be for you but still fun.
