Are You Team Mario or Team Donkey Kong? Evolution: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtSbrdFnl9y-lGw.html

Mario straight up dies in the old one

The GBA had more amusing injuries.

literally all of the death animations with the exception of up squished are straight up downgrades

I guess the GBA death animations were too brutal. o.o;

At least they kept the best death animation of being squashed.

Mario said 'Mama mia!' 23 times in this video.

The new death animations are Nintendo’s way of saying “Don’t worry, kids! If you put yourselves in life threatening situations, you’ll be just fine, just like Mario! This will in no way be crippling to your physical or mental state!”

I wish they remade the death animations for the switch remake

Donkey Kong clocking Mario in the face will never be the same

0:06 King Kong?

3:42 Super Mario 64 be like:

1:10 Okay, the no fall damage schtick is just downright disrespectful. The fact that Nintendo removed this proves that they think we're (collectively) soft, so they put this.

I like how they didnt add more death animations, yet made 2 new worlds

Honestly i prefer the old one cause even more funnier

Worst part? Unused in the files of the demo for the game are updated versions of all of the old animations, including fire, and a brand new shock animation too. During the shock animation he would flash several poses, including the elusive V-SIGN! Oh how i miss that pose. I'm not sure if they're still kicking around in the files of the final version, but i'm genuinely so disappointed they're unused.

1:12 After how high you can fall off of in Odyssey without fall damage, this makes sense.

the only thing that looks better is the Squashed animation, tho i kinda get that Nintendo doesn't want their mascot to straight up die anymore. but removing the pasta lines is TOO FAR

I like how Mario is sitting on the lava in 1:33 😂

Was the burn animation updated between the demo & the final remake? Cause I swear there were no smoke clouds coming off the characters in the demo!

Thank you for this video!!

Squished up is the only variation I liked in the remake

I think the old one has more charm than the remakes I mean Mario dead animation in gba has a lot of different ways went you die but the remake kinda don't have that and that's why mario vs donkey kong in gba was special to me but hey at least they remove fall damage from the remake so that's good to know

0:58 OUCH!!

I was convinced that in GBA Mario died instead of an injury 🥲

0:01 Donkey Kong is like HEY!

Y'know, I never questioned it until now, but when you lose in the Mini Mario levels, why does MARIO HIMSELF lose a life? From a gameplay standpoint it kinda does make sense, but do Mario and the Mini Marios share a conscience such that if they die, he dies too? Or does Mario become so freaking depressed that he just up and commits slip n slide offscreen if he loses all Mini Marios? Mario VS Donkey Kong truly is a dark game, I tell you what

wow so he actaully dies in the old one and nintendo decides to keep alive and ok in the new one

3:12 He just knocked him out 💀

I swear EVERYTHING becomes softer by age.

Not really a death perse, but you forgot the one where Mario presumably gets “choked” by those bats in Mystic Forest. Is it different in the remake? EDIT: I checked and….it’s different. Mario kinda just….falls. Lame…

You had one job in this remake, Nintendo. Things I didn't like about the remake: 1. The cartoony SFX that were the charm of the game, they removed them. 2. The Death Animations were changed (except of being crushed) 3. They removed/changed many tracks of the game like: Fire Mountain, Twillight City, The Title Screen, and the battle themes.

As morbid as the GBA version of Mario vs Donkey Kong deaths were, I think it is harder to take the deaths very seriously when Mario just falls off the screen in the Switch remake version. At least with the GBA version, dying actually made it look dying instead of looking very silly.

In the new game over screen, they should've made Mario fall asleep and dream about pasta when waiting for a while like in the old GBA version. It's pretty funny, ngl.

“How many ‘mama-mia’s’ do you want in the video?” “Yes”

Funny how they actually improved the squish death from upwards but removed all other types

I could tell that some of Mario’s voice clips in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake (whether in gameplay or cutscenes) are the same as his voice clips from the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the GBA. The only difference is that the voice clips in the remake received quality upgrades due to the more modern sound processing of the Switch or something

3:19 Donkey Kong: get out of Here Mario!!! ):

0:05 Mario vs *King* Kong Okay. For some reason now, I want somebody to make an actual Mario and King Kong crossover happen. 😶

So dissapointed with the new deaths

0:06 Mario vs King Kong??

0:34 1:34 creepy

Mario falling and smashing his head is so brutal and yet so funny. lmao.

The animations are basically a down grade in the remaster.

4:19 squeak

Thanks!

1:00 Mario broke his skull

Am I the only one who noticed he said King Kong at the start? That had be dying to laughter

The amount of times that Mario said mama mia were 29 times

This is Mario most dramatic "mama mia"

old death: oh boy that's a lot of damage, new: um can we get a different death animation in each damage of enemies?

Thanks for the side by side comparison of the original and remake. My thoughts about the remake death animations… I am absolutely disappointed with them Nintendo has taken the charm away as they have toned down the slapstick humour away and trashed the iconic violence away as they have gone into the baby kiddy friendly territory as they added a stupid casual mode when Mario is in a bubble and the timer is paused making it so easy that you can’t die when you get hit and bubble saves you! Not to mention this about collecting the stars from each stage as the high score board has been removed as you have to collect all 3 presents instead beating your high score like hurry save time defeating enemies to get little score points as if you beat the current high score you get rewarded a star but in the remake they have removed it… And the iconic Mario voice lines especially the dialogue gone… Not even “Come Back Here You Big Monkey!” That left fans devastated. Most of the music for each levels are so unrecognisable like Fire Mountain and Twilight City and some of the remastered music doesn’t fit very well as there’s too much jazz and not very catchy or energetic it doesn’t match the original correctly… Who agrees with me as if you remember playing the original 20 years later?

Thrill Drive 1 & 2 & 3 Needs to be Remake on Nintendo Switch!

Mario vs. King Kong, the crossover we all need!

I always found the original death by fire sprite creepy. His blacked out eyes, slouched posture... I always loved it too. Pity its just another flailing fall off the screen now.

I actually beat the first three worlds on my first day, playing it on the day it came out

Charles Martinet Is Back In 2024 Version Of Mario Vs Donkey Kong? That's So Cool!

What is this atrocity... the mini Marios don't shatter!

The entirely five minutes Mario getting trolled by EVERETHING

Even knowing the original is the sequel to Donkey Kong for the Game Boy

They removed all the custom death interactions and Mario still interacting with the level when dying, like getting burned and still landing on the plateform after the knocked back animation is played instead of falling in nothingness. The only one I would argue is better in the remake is "Squished up". I don't get why Mario doesn't get flatten like with squished down and sideways in the original. But the original is still better in so many other ways.

3:12 🤣 3:14 Mamma Mia!

The death sounds are somewhat based on the Game Boy Donkey Kong game's death sounds Fun fact: they changed the death sound playing on some deaths, such as the electrocution death!

Basically, the remake suffered from Mario Odyssey death syndrome, all except getting crushed

Removed several unique death animations. We're off to a great start.

To be honest the switch version feels like a big downgrade to death animations compared to the GBA version plus removing some of mario's unique voice lines. Doesn't really help that in the files there are animations recreated from the original (along with some fun easter eggs)

Mama mia! Time's up!

Where did all of the slapstick-humor go?

Something about the way Mario falls off of a ladder in the original makes me laugh more

Wow!

I agree with you dude the remake was very disappointing the original was very good

1:39 Mario: LAVA

I like it that Mini Mario also says mama-mia

Thank you for calling out the bland death animations. GBA had more unique ones than the remake that has done away with and made a generic animation in place of most possible deaths Mario can have (SMB style), lava death lost its engulfing Mario in flame and left in charred while electricity death doesn't have zaaaaappp sfx and showing Mario's skeleton. They're way too safe and boring now.

Mamma Mia!

sucks that fall damage is gone, id added another layer of challenge

No mario was harmed during the video

I would really really like for you to explain to me how the new ones are bland and generic while the old ones were.....Mario falls forward, Mario falls backwards, Mario falls on his head. How is any of that less bland or generic then him doing a pose then falling off screen like in other 2D games. The only ones that were significantly changed were his burn and shock deaths which also aren't any less generic now. The only difference is his lump body doesn't stay onscreen anymore.

1:26 1:59 2:04 2:11 2:19 4:21

My favorite snack is Popcorners!

Nintendo being good at remakes but lazy at details.

I still enjoyed playing this game despite its death changes cuz you know, I would like to not die in my opinion!

MOH: Mario vs King Kong just came out for switch Me: ITS MARIO VS DONKEY KONG YOU DUMMY

Mario vs King Kong VS Godzilla vs Donkey Kong

1:02 Since when was there fall dmg in a Mario game?

0:05 Sounds like your saying "Mario vs King Kong".

Could be better, but hey the game still looks good

How dare they remove that squishing sound on Switch

Old one is better

A lot of the new ones are the same death animation with teh same screen effect. Lava same as burn same as damage. Shock is pretty cool but not as good as OG and teh timeover having mario shot in OG was insane to see compared to the tame take damage recycled the 100th time. Also removing falldamage is kinda weird for a puzzle platformer but thats not a big deal probably hopefully. Also team Mario.

Dude, they took away most of the fun deaths, they made it too baby

Dk: NO *PUNCHES *

Mario getting swung that hard by donkey kong rivals SSB

Wow, they really made them as generic as possible for Switch. I’m not even surprised.

1:46 😢

I enjoy 😊 both old and new

03:42 is sleep my got's

This game will look better in the Super Mario Wonder Style, it will be more 2D game like the original GBA and the animatiion would have been better.

Derams about food?

Yeah this one kinda hurt the gane for me, I mean I like it, its still such a blast to play it but yeah I think the originak had such a charm to it with cartoony semi graphic deaths that definetly made it so great and funny, while the remake dowsnt add those charms that would have been great details for the og gamers, and not only that but we also lost the funny chatming win screens on. The bosses, I loved those screens of victory!
