Mario vs. Donkey Kong Launch Trailer Released

To mark its launch on the Nintendo Switch, players can get ready for some mini mayhem with the launch trailer for the puzzle platformer Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

A spiritual successor to the 1994 Game Boy Donkey Kong release, Mario vs. Donkey Kong tells of the titular Donkey Kong that has stolen a number of Mini-Mario toys from Mario’s Toy Company.

Mario has the moves for the job, including a handstand, a somersault, and a triple jump. The ultimate goal is to make it to the end of each stage, whether that means taking a key to a locked door, guiding Mini-Mario toys to a Toy Box, or even taking on a boss level.

See the launch trailer for the game below:
