Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up
Has anyone here played the entire series of Mario vs DK games?

This would include:
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!
Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move

if so are you also looking forward to Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars?

I've played the first two and I have the 3DS one but I haven't really played it. Does this new one play like the 3DS one?

Before making this thread I didn't know Mini-Land Mayhem existed. It was a full retail DS release after the dsi game had already come out, but before the 3ds came out.

WTF? What did he ever do to you or anyone besides express a sincere and unabashed love for Donkey Kong? Chill out.. Anyways, yes, I'll be buying Tipping Stars, since it's cross-play, and is in the style of the classic "Mario vs D.K." games, and not the Lemmings/Pipe Dream clones that they've done recently.

the minis loving sucked because even though you got to do all the sweet platforming and good mario control action they turned it into a bunch of gay escort missions

why did they add "minis" to the series? Mario and DK should not fight a proxy war against each other

The Mario vs DK games on DSi and 3DS eShop are really bad spinoffs, and not a part of the main Mario vs DK platforming series, similar to DK'94. Avoid them, and use your Club Nintendo coins for something worth playing.

I don't know what's wrong with that, the mainline Mario vs DK games are pretty similar to DK'94, but not as good.

You're the one who genuinely wants to buy both the MvDK games with Club Nintendo coins.. I think YOU'RE the one who doesn't know what they're talking about.

It's obvious you haven't played the entire series of Mario vs DK games, this helps answer my question. Thank you for your posts and please leave my thread.

I've played them, and most aren't worth playing. Even the folks at DKvine, the #1 Donkey Kong fansite on the 'Net, think that the games aren't even worth covering.

DK Jr and DK 3 are some fairly epic games I think OP. At least from playing the NES Remix versions of them anyway. Have a good one.

That's because Mario never opposes Donkey Kong in the game at all. Mario isn't "versus" anyone in that game. Hell, him and D.K. don't even appear anywhere in-game other than the title screen.

I liked the GBA one the best but the DS was also cool I guess. I enjoyed trying to 100% them. That's my opinion thanks.
