The challenging rivalry is back and better then ever! :idea:
User Rating: 10 | Mario vs. Donkey Kong GBA
In 1981, an ape named Donkey Kong attracted the anger of a simple Italian plumber named Mario by stealing his then girlfriend Pauline, starting a rivalry between man and beast! The gorilla found himself bested by the hero and got himself captured, only to be rescued by his own son who showed Mario that two wrongs don't make a right. Afterwards, the rivalry cooled off and evolved into mostly friendly competitions in racing, fighting, and partying. But after 22 years of mostly inactivity, Donkey Kong causes trouble again when Mario's toy factory churns out both Mario dolls and Donkey Kong dolls, but everyone prefers the Mario dolls more, so Donkey Kong captures all of the Mario dolls so that no one can have them! Mario knows that stealing toys is just plain wrong, so Mario goes up against Donkey Kong once again, reigniting a long forgotten rivalry! The graphics in this game are absolutely incredible and reach Nintendo Gamecube points at times. Speaking of the Nintendo Gamecube, Mario introduces his 3-D tricks for the first time in 2-D! Mainly the double/triple jump, the wall jump, the rope hang, and the ground pound! And Mario has to overcome many challenges, race against the clock, figure out puzzles and overcome various obstacles in order to stop Donkey Kong's latest rampage against Mario's person! It's an extrememly fun, challenging game that will keep anyone who loves both puzzles and action games entertained for hours! I certainly enjoyed it, and I highly reccommend for anyone looking for fun on a handheld system! That's why I reviewed this game! :idea: Enough said, true believers! ;)
