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 this puzzle-style twist on classic platforming action.

The rivalry that originally heated up on the Game Boy™ Advance system returns on the Nintendo Switch™ system 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!

This enhanced version of Mario vs. Donkey Kong offers over 130 levels and Two-Player Mode that helps you (and your friends) tackle challenges in all new ways. Also new to this version of the game are Merry Mini-Land and Slippery Summit – two worlds full of new enemies and level themes with distinct play mechanics to keep you on your toes. And if your toes are up for it, you can unlock Plus Levels and Expert Levels as you play the game to further ramp up the mayhem with new gameplay wrinkles or added challenges.

Once you think you’ve mastered all the levels, you now have the chance to play against your toughest opponent: Yourself. Mario vs. Donkey Kong will be adding a Time Attack feature so players can take turns raising their personal bar.

Of course, it’s not all a competition. Mario vs. Donkey Kong is bringing two new playing styles to the game: Casual and Classic. Play the original game in its original form in Classic or give yourself a break and tone down the challenge a bit in Casual – you’ll get the same levels, just slightly less punishing and with a few more chances for “do overs.”

Remember, keep your friends close, and your frenemies closer!

Pre-orders are available now on Nintendo eShop.

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.

Find your favorite way to play with a variety of styles, challenges, and modes.

• Classic Style: Take on levels in a traditional timed experience similar to the original Game Boy Advance game. One hit and you're out.
• Casual Style: for a more relaxed experience, this style of play removes the timer, adds checkpoints, and boosts the number of times Mario can get hit.
• Plus Worlds: Kick up the heat with dozens more advanced levels across trickier versions of the eight worlds.
• Expert Levels: Earn enough ratings to unlock one of these 16 challenging levels. They'll really push your puzzle-solving abilities to the limit!
• Time Attack: Put your skills to the ultimate test! Revisit levels after clearing the main game and try to beat the clock in this unlockable mode. Don't you date dwadle!

In addition to familiar worlds like Mario Toy Company, Donkey Kong Jungle, and Mystic Forest, you can enjoy two new themed locations (Merry Mini-Land & Slippery Summit) filled with new obstacles and challenges.
