Mario vs. Donkey Kong

by Steven Rodriguez - May 21, 2002, 2:44 pm EDT

Pauline makes her glorious return, with a GC-GBA connection that you may not have expected.

One of Nintendo's key points in its press briefing was its connectivity between the GameCube and Game Boy Advance. One of the new games announced was Donkey Kong Plus, a revival version of the original Donkey Kong arcade game.

It features all the original levels, including 100 new stages of barrel hopping and hammer swinging fun, along with new moves for Mario. He can now double-jump, do backflips and handstands, and even catch barrels with his feet, which could lead to interesting gameplay possibilities. There are also DK-themed minigames planned for the cartridge.

DK+ will also support the GC-GBA link cable, using a custom level editor, which can be linked up to the GameCube to edit on a TV screen. There, your GBA levels can be stored in the GameCube memory card, or sent back down to the GBA and be saved there. However, there is no information as to how this could be achieved without a DK console game, unless the GC-GCN link cable can be used without a game in the GameCube.

Donkey Kong Plus is set for a Q1 2003 release.
