Starting today, visit the Nintendo eShop to download a free demo of four levels from the first world of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, the enhanced version of the Game Boy Advance classic for Nintendo Switch systems.
Solve puzzles and overcome platforming challenges to rescue the Mini-Marios and thwart Donkey Kong. The demo also gives you a first look at the new Two Player mode, where you can share one of your Joy-Con controllers with a friend and team up as Mario and Toad.
You will also have access to the game’s new difficulty settings in single-player mode – choose Classic Style to experience the same difficulty level as the original Game Boy Advance version, or (if you still have fresh memories of struggling with certain levels) you can try Casual Style with no time limit and the ability to restart from checkpoints.
