| Has anybody else played this game? The title of the game is sort of annoying when trying to tell somebody about it, but it's basically the sequel to the original Donkey Kong, or what Mario Vs. Donkey Kong ripped from.
It's for the original Gameboy, and is basically just plain awesome. If I had any skill hacking, that's what I'd spend all my time on. So yeah, anybody else own this game? Have any memories about it? My cousin stole my copy years ago, and I just found the game at GameCrazy yesterday for $14.08, so I had to get it. I've played through most of it since then, but I've still got some of the hardest levels to go. It's a great game, and it has a lot of levels.. |

| $14 for an old GB game?
*looks at his copy* Hmmm. 
(For the record, Mario vs. DK is a good game... but you need to play the original. It gets FIENDISH later on.) |

| I'm willing to go try this out. That is, if I can find it. | |||

| Fiendish indeed, but even still, I think that the game controls better than any game I've ever played, and yet all this uses is two buttons, it's crazy.
Now, if this game had wall-jump as well, I think nothing out there could beat it. Granted, Mario does jump sorta short, but it's based off Donkey Kong for the Arcade, in which he wasn't very good of a "Jump Man." Although, with the backflips, the double-the regular handstand jumps, and everything else that Mario can do, it's not very difficult to get him from point A to point B, unless the creators intended it that way, heh. Seriously though, while Mario Vs. Donkey Kong is a good game on it's own merit, it really does not compare to the original in my opinion, it's just too good. |

| That's the important thing - if the controls weren't as good, the game would have been extremely frustrating.
I mainly played it on the Super Game Boy and it was nice.  The final stage (Tower) isn't as hard as the past few puzzle-wise, but it requires fast reflexes which is always a challenge. |

| Right now I'm on Rocky-Valley (8-1), and I started playing less than 24 hours ago.
Anyways, it's a really great game, a lot harder if you've never beaten it before, and has a rather catchy soundtrack for something blasting out of just a mere GameBoy. I played a lot of it through a Super GameBoy back in the day, but my SNES isn't at my house right now, so I can't do that. It's being played on my SP, so I unfortunately don't have some of the extra features (Pauline screaming "HAELP HAELP!" and such.) (edited by Sexy Shadic on 08-20-06 06:22 PM) |

| The final boss (DK) is so so awesome.
I remember playing this game constantly back when I was younger. I was stuck on 3-1 (the ship, I think) for literally about 2 years (no joke, i seriously was stuck on it for at least 2 years). Then I suddenly, out of pure frustration, realised how to finish the puzzle by throwing the enemy onto the spikes, and using it as a means of getting across. That was the single most satisying point of all of my life. Fact. |

| I'm sure one of the later levels in World 8 caused me fits for a good week or so before I figured out the sequence. World 7 as well.
I can't promise that everyone will enjoy the game, but if you like a challenge then you're going to like it, that's all I can say. (Of course, the same would apply to a game like Lolo, but...) |

| Had the game way back when...
Beat it... Put it away... Decided to play again... Found out I lost it D: Picked up MvDK the other day... Now I should really go and get the ROM to play again. It was such a good game, despite the lack of color  |

| SGB version had color. Not a lot but better than black and white.
I just picked it up again thanks to this thread.  Up to 3-1 already. |

I have never played this game, but I enjoyed MvDK. Am I to take it from this thread that it is worth getting? I can always ebay it  (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 08-20-06 11:17 PM) |

| It is much worth it. Definately better than Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, in just about anybody who has played both's opinion.
And if you want to make sure you'll enjoy it, there's a different way to get games, as I'm sure that you know, just for a test of a level or two. It's definately my favorite original Gameboy game. |

| eBay it or... swipe it.
If you liked MvDK then you'll really enjoy this. Same type of gameplay, more/harder levels. |

| One of the first games I ever had (Kirby's Dreamland was THE first). I love this game so much, MvDK does NOT compare, at all, to this game. It just dosn't...this game expands on an old classic and makes it fun. And that's what gaming is all about, is having fun--you will with this one |

| And just now, I've made it to the Tower. I may beat it tonight if I feel like mustering the effort. I don't really feel like gaming right now for some reason, though.
EDIT: I found a glitch! Somehow, when tossing a barrel, falling at the ground, and having shockwaves be sent through the level on the final boss, you can go a tile into the ground. I was running around with Mario's head barely showing, then jumped out and was fine. (edited by Shadic on 08-22-06 02:15 PM) |

| This bug is nothing new, you can easily reproduce it during the final battle while standing left and wait or run. A Jump and your out there.
I had the most problems with the egypt levels. And graphical its badical for gameboy. |

| Right, I'm playing through this one again now. I'm at the ship right now.
Wow. I forgot about many of the worlds in this game - I think Airplane was my favourite one. Yet at the same time, the single most frustrating. (edited by richyawyingtmv on 08-23-06 07:31 AM) |

| I completely forgot about this game. I remember playing it with my Aunt's Super Gameboy back in the day. It was definitely impressive, I'll have to look out for this and a Super Gameboy for myself. Definitely one of the best Gameboy games out there.
And yeah, its probably better than MvDK. |

| That was one of the few games, back in the day, that I bought right after it was released. I'm still waiting for a TAS of the entire game. I've beat it myself in about an hour and a half just to verify something for Drag (i.e. the GBS system in it). | |||

| The current record for Donkey Kong ('94) is 1:16:18, but it's not a TAS.
But if someone does a TAS, please do not use the SGB emulation, as it lacks many SGB-Specific things (like the hole SNES-Part except the colours and borders). Talking about GBS, GBS-Players are really flawed, no GBS player plays Donkey Kong correct. |
