Mario VS Donkey Kong: All Death Animations + Game Over (GBA VS Switch) 

Are You Team Mario or Team Donkey Kong? Evolution: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xnkzn62vZd8.html

Mario straight up dies in the old one

literally all of the death animations with the exception of up squished are straight up downgrades

The GBA had more amusing injuries.

At least they kept the best death animation of being squashed.

I guess the GBA death animations were too brutal. o.o;

I wish they remade the death animations for the switch remake

3:42 Super Mario 64 be like:

The new death animations are Nintendo’s way of saying “Don’t worry, kids! If you put yourselves in life threatening situations, you’ll be just fine, just like Mario! This will in no way be crippling to your physical or mental state!”

0:06 King Kong?

Mario said 'Mama mia!' 23 times in this video.

I like how they didnt add more death animations, yet made 2 new worlds

Donkey Kong clocking Mario in the face will never be the same

Worst part? Unused in the files of the demo for the game are updated versions of all of the old animations, including fire, and a brand new shock animation too. During the shock animation he would flash several poses, including the elusive V-SIGN! Oh how i miss that pose. I'm not sure if they're still kicking around in the files of the final version, but i'm genuinely so disappointed they're unused.

1:12 After how high you can fall off of in Odyssey without fall damage, this makes sense.

Honestly i prefer the old one cause even more funnier

0:58 OUCH!!

0:01 Donkey Kong is like HEY!

1:10 Okay, the no fall damage schtick is just downright disrespectful. The fact that Nintendo removed this proves that they think we're (collectively) soft, so they put this.

the only thing that looks better is the Squashed animation, tho i kinda get that Nintendo doesn't want their mascot to straight up die anymore. but removing the pasta lines is TOO FAR

Squished up is the only variation I liked in the remake

Was the burn animation updated between the demo & the final remake? Cause I swear there were no smoke clouds coming off the characters in the demo!

3:12 He just knocked him out 💀

I think the old one has more charm than the remakes I mean Mario dead animation in gba has a lot of different ways went you die but the remake kinda don't have that and that's why mario vs donkey kong in gba was special to me but hey at least they remove fall damage from the remake so that's good to know

wow so he actaully dies in the old one and nintendo decides to keep alive and ok in the new one

I was convinced that in GBA Mario died instead of an injury 🥲

I like how Mario is sitting on the lava in 1:33 😂

3:19 Donkey Kong: get out of Here Mario!!! ):

0:06 Mario vs King Kong??

Thank you for this video!!

I swear EVERYTHING becomes softer by age.

Funny how they actually improved the squish death from upwards but removed all other types

The animations are basically a down grade in the remaster.

In the new game over screen, they should've made Mario fall asleep and dream about pasta when waiting for a while like in the old GBA version. It's pretty funny, ngl.

Not really a death perse, but you forgot the one where Mario presumably gets “choked” by those bats in Mystic Forest. Is it different in the remake? EDIT: I checked and….it’s different. Mario kinda just….falls. Lame…

4:19 squeak

0:34 1:34 creepy

I could tell that some of Mario’s voice clips in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake (whether in gameplay or cutscenes) are the same as his voice clips from the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the GBA. The only difference is that the voice clips in the remake received quality upgrades due to the more modern sound processing of the Switch or something

So dissapointed with the new deaths

Y'know, I never questioned it until now, but when you lose in the Mini Mario levels, why does MARIO HIMSELF lose a life? From a gameplay standpoint it kinda does make sense, but do Mario and the Mini Marios share a conscience such that if they die, he dies too? Or does Mario become so freaking depressed that he just up and commits slip n slide offscreen if he loses all Mini Marios? Mario VS Donkey Kong truly is a dark game, I tell you what

As morbid as the GBA version of Mario vs Donkey Kong deaths were, I think it is harder to take the deaths very seriously when Mario just falls off the screen in the Switch remake version. At least with the GBA version, dying actually made it look dying instead of looking very silly.

Mario falling and smashing his head is so brutal and yet so funny. lmao.

You had one job in this remake, Nintendo. Things I didn't like about the remake: 1. The cartoony SFX that were the charm of the game, they removed them. 2. The Death Animations were changed (except of being crushed) 3. They removed/changed many tracks of the game like: Fire Mountain, Twillight City, The Title Screen, and the battle themes.

1:00 Mario broke his skull

0:05 Mario vs *King* Kong Okay. For some reason now, I want somebody to make an actual Mario and King Kong crossover happen. 😶

"about the fall damages of the game" me in the original: "falls and brokes his legs" AH F"bip" WHY THE HELL DID I HAD AN IDEA TO FALL DOWN IN A HIGH PLACE?!?!?! me in the remake: "falls and nothing happens" huh that's strange i thought i could've broke my legs for falling this high well its not like if it happened before. right?

The amount of times that Mario said mama mia were 29 times

I always found the original death by fire sprite creepy. His blacked out eyes, slouched posture... I always loved it too. Pity its just another flailing fall off the screen now.

Charles Martinet Is Back In 2024 Version Of Mario Vs Donkey Kong? That's So Cool!

Mario vs. King Kong, the crossover we all need!

I actually beat the first three worlds on my first day, playing it on the day it came out

Even knowing the original is the sequel to Donkey Kong for the Game Boy

Thanks!

old death: oh boy that's a lot of damage, new: um can we get a different death animation in each damage of enemies?

This is Mario most dramatic "mama mia"

Thanks for the side by side comparison of the original and remake. My thoughts about the remake death animations… I am absolutely disappointed with them Nintendo has taken the charm away as they have toned down the slapstick humour away and trashed the iconic violence away as they have gone into the baby kiddy friendly territory as they added a stupid casual mode when Mario is in a bubble and the timer is paused making it so easy that you can’t die when you get hit and bubble saves you! Not to mention this about collecting the stars from each stage as the high score board has been removed as you have to collect all 3 presents instead beating your high score like hurry save time defeating enemies to get little score points as if you beat the current high score you get rewarded a star but in the remake they have removed it… And the iconic Mario voice lines especially the dialogue gone… Not even “Come Back Here You Big Monkey!” That left fans devastated. Most of the music for each levels are so unrecognisable like Fire Mountain and Twilight City and some of the remastered music doesn’t fit very well as there’s too much jazz and not very catchy or energetic it doesn’t match the original correctly… Who agrees with me as if you remember playing the original 20 years later?

Am I the only one who noticed he said King Kong at the start? That had be dying to laughter

“How many ‘mama-mia’s’ do you want in the video?” “Yes”

Thrill Drive 1 & 2 & 3 Needs to be Remake on Nintendo Switch!

What is this atrocity... the mini Marios don't shatter!

Game over screen comparison GBA: Static image of Mario, who snores and says "Spaghetti" and "Ravioli" Switch: Animated image of Mario, who lets out disappointed sighs

1:26 1:59 2:04 2:11 2:19 4:21

I like it that Mini Mario also says mama-mia

The entirely five minutes Mario getting trolled by EVERETHING

The death sounds are somewhat based on the Game Boy Donkey Kong game's death sounds Fun fact: they changed the death sound playing on some deaths, such as the electrocution death!

Where did all of the slapstick-humor go?

I enjoy 😊 both old and new

Something about the way Mario falls off of a ladder in the original makes me laugh more

Basically, the remake suffered from Mario Odyssey death syndrome, all except getting crushed

sucks that fall damage is gone, id added another layer of challenge

Wow!

Removed several unique death animations. We're off to a great start.

ngl I do miss the basically violent death animations oh well 🤷

My favorite snack is Popcorners!

I still enjoyed playing this game despite its death changes cuz you know, I would like to not die in my opinion!

I agree with you dude the remake was very disappointing the original was very good

They removed all the custom death interactions and Mario still interacting with the level when dying, like getting burned and still landing on the plateform after the knocked back animation is played instead of falling in nothingness. The only one I would argue is better in the remake is "Squished up". I don't get why Mario doesn't get flatten like with squished down and sideways in the original. But the original is still better in so many other ways.

Thank you for calling out the bland death animations. GBA had more unique ones than the remake that has done away with and made a generic animation in place of most possible deaths Mario can have (SMB style), lava death lost its engulfing Mario in flame and left in charred while electricity death doesn't have zaaaaappp sfx and showing Mario's skeleton. They're way too safe and boring now.

Old one is better

Mama mia! Time's up!

To be honest the switch version feels like a big downgrade to death animations compared to the GBA version plus removing some of mario's unique voice lines. Doesn't really help that in the files there are animations recreated from the original (along with some fun easter eggs)

Mario vs King Kong VS Godzilla vs Donkey Kong

No mario was harmed during the video

Could be better, but hey the game still looks good

3:12 🤣 3:14 Mamma Mia!

1:02 Since when was there fall dmg in a Mario game?

Mamma Mia!

0:05 Sounds like your saying "Mario vs King Kong".

1:46 😢

Nintendo being good at remakes but lazy at details.

How dare they remove that squishing sound on Switch

Dude, they took away most of the fun deaths, they made it too baby

I would really really like for you to explain to me how the new ones are bland and generic while the old ones were.....Mario falls forward, Mario falls backwards, Mario falls on his head. How is any of that less bland or generic then him doing a pose then falling off screen like in other 2D games. The only ones that were significantly changed were his burn and shock deaths which also aren't any less generic now. The only difference is his lump body doesn't stay onscreen anymore.

This game will look better in the Super Mario Wonder Style, it will be more 2D game like the original GBA and the animatiion would have been better.

03:42 is sleep my got's

Dk: NO *PUNCHES *

Mario getting swung that hard by donkey kong rivals SSB

1:39 Mario: HOTHOTHOT

Драке Анд Тхе Визардс

A lot of the new ones are the same death animation with teh same screen effect. Lava same as burn same as damage. Shock is pretty cool but not as good as OG and teh timeover having mario shot in OG was insane to see compared to the tame take damage recycled the 100th time. Also removing falldamage is kinda weird for a puzzle platformer but thats not a big deal probably hopefully. Also team Mario.
