Story
Donkey Kong is channel surfing when he comes across a commercial for the new Mini-Mario toy. Desiring one for himself, Donkey Kong immediately heads to the toy store, only to find that they are sold out. Donkey Kong, however, notices the Mario Toy Company, so he raids the factory and steals several Mini-Mario toys. Mario catches Donkey Kong outside and chases after him.
Gameplay
Mario vs. Donkey Kong features similar gameplay to the Game Boy iteration, in which Mario must navigate each stage by jumping and climbing to find the key and open the door, taking the player to another area where they must save a Mini-Mario. Each world contains seven stages, the seventh of which being a stage in which Mario must guide the Mini-Marios to their box, followed by a boss battle with Donkey Kong. Mario retains all of his movements from the Game Boy release, as well as being able to use Hammers and pick up objects to attack enemies. At the end of each stage, the player's score is tallied up, and they will earn a star by surpassing the level record. Each stage also contains three presents; collecting all of them allows the player to play a minigame to earn extra lives.
Using the e-Reader, the player can access additional stages. While twelve stages were made for the game, only five level cards were released. The e-Reader functionality was removed for the PAL release.
