Introduce
Mario vs. Donkey Kong on the Game Boy Advance is a fun puzzle game that combines strategy and action. You play as Mario, who must rescue Princess Pauline from Donkey Kong using complex contraptions. The core gameplay revolves around designing and building safe pathways for tiny, adorable Mini-Marios to navigate obstacles set by Donkey Kong.
Each level presents a challenge requiring skill and logical thinking. You'll use items like conveyor belts, stairs, cranes, and various other devices to guide the Mini-Marios to their destination. Arranging these items strategically is key to leading the Mini-Marios past obstacles, avoiding traps, and reaching Pauline. The game features numerous levels with increasing difficulty, requiring players to think carefully and creatively to find optimal solutions.
Beyond path design, you must also manage time and the number of Mini-Marios. If too many Mini-Marios are captured or fail to reach the destination within the time limit, you fail. The game has a scoring system, encouraging players to find the quickest and most efficient solutions. Mario vs. Donkey Kong isn't just a simple puzzle game; it's a test of the player's intellect and dexterity.
