I almost thought they got rid of fall damage entirely because half the falls I’ve seen people take would’ve resulted in such. It’s not a big deal but it makes the game feel too easy now. I prefer the original game’s fall damage/deaths.

When I went to see The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie back in 2004, we got there so early that the previous screening was just ending. when the people were on their way out from it, I snuck in just to watch the credits, and...something in that theater was magic. This was back in 2004 when credits were still normally just black with white text, so the having yellow text and footage of crashing waves in the background, waves that big on a screen that big, was mesmerizing. SpongeBob & Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy by the Flaming Lips, Just a Kid by Wilco But then... Hearing The Best Day Ever for the first time floored me for the simple fact that SpongeBob got to sing a credit song for his own movie. Credits were different back then and this was unheard of at the time. And then at the very end, again we take mid and end credit bonus scenes for granted nowadays thanks to Marvel, but in 2004 it wasn't something you could expect, so that end credit scene with the Pirates, being the only one left in the theaters to catch it, I felt like I saw a UFO. And this was all before actually Seeing the movie itself from the start. That's my most core memory watching a movie in theaters.

I remember having my own sort of cool theater experience with The Incredibles 2. I remember whenever the baby, Jack Jack would teleport out of existence, the speakers made it sound like he was floating around the auditorium, where we were watching the movie. It was so convincing that I looked up, to see if Jack Jack was actually there. There’s something about watching movies in the theater that just can’t be replicated on physical media, and streaming.

the only game I've played in this series is Mini-Land Mayhem, which has completely different gameplay. In that game the minis are doing the levels, but they move automatically and you can only control them by making paths and walls for them. I remember it being pretty fun tbh, it's just a LOT of micromanaging.

“Show a little something else” that turned out to be the next Nintendo/illumination Mario movie.
After seeing the shorts that Nintendo put out to promote this game, I now want a real-life Mini-Mario toy.
My earliest memory and introduction of Dragon Ball was when I was 6 at a friend's house in the Frieza Arc, i saw Goku transform into a Super Sayian for the first time on VHS, I remember the first time I saw him do the backpose he was doing before he was looking upwards to the screen menacingly, pissed as all hell. It was the first time I felt chills even. I'm 20 now, and each and every single day I still rewatch through all of Dragon Ball, including DBZA and GT because that's how engulfed I am into the franchise. Truly will miss Toriyama. May God let his soul rest easy.

One core memory of mine is from seeing the Captain Underpants movie in theaters, the first day it aired, June 2nd. The best part about it was that it was my dad's birthday. It was one of the funniest ways to celebrate, but my family and I had a blast. Loved the movie, and I definitely recommend watching it if you haven't.
For me, my emotional movie attachment was with Wall-E. Rewatching it when I was older, I realized how amazing a silent movie can be, and it's depiction of love. And to think that back when I was a kid I only liked it purely for the goofy little trash robot.

Hey, Aerith and Sephiroth’s sword aren’t rivals! In fact, they’re closer than ever!
DK on original Gameboy is basically more of this, plus Mini Land Mayhem is the best of the Lemmings-like format for the series
we really started with Aerith catching a stray
I love how it says “so you don’t have to” but if anything, it makes me want to 100% it more. The power of Choc’s amazing content.
Akira Toriyama gave me a similar amount of grief than Ash finally saying goodbye in Pokemon. I grew up with them too. RIP Akira Never thought the eras to our childhoods would end so soon
“Why are we wearing hard hats?” Choc has obviously never seen a Chinese workplace safety video
Hey Choc! I love your content and I wanna say I’m so stoked that you’ve 100% Mario vs. DK, a good mix of nostalgia with the commentary of one of my favorite game personalities out here is a match made in heaven!
This game was my childhood joy in the GBA era. We didn't have the ice or carnival levels and their gimmicks, but everything else is almost exactly like the original.
Rip Toriyama 😔
I like the fact that Choctopus know that some of his viewer aren't Americans at all, for example : I'm from Brazil and I love his videos (Or "your videos" if Choctopus are reading this)

the way mario says "let's-a go, little guys!" is so adorable aww
As a kid I remember seeing a Mario vs DK ad in a magazine, but I misunderstood the ad so I spent the longest time looking everywhere for a mini-Mario toy
21:18 One way I remember differentiating the two is that stalactites hang *tightly* to the ceiling of a cave.
My best friend got me into dragonball through TFS's abridged when i was a freshmen highschool. I had a late start in dragonball but it's inspired so much of my creativity, and my gaming life since then that i genuinely feel like i lost a family member. You will be missed Akira Toriyama.

I’m sure you’ve already been told this, but the other ‘Mario vs DK’/‘Mario and DK’ games are more like lemmings puzzle games rather then a puzzle platformer like this one. You should def check out Donkey Kong ‘94 on the GameBoy, it’s the true precursor to this game

You should definitely play Amiibo Challenge, my favorite mini Mario game
The "donuts" are officially called donut blocks. Except in japan, where they are named after a tubed fish cake. For some reason, mario Wiki says they are called bagel blocks in russia, but when you put the name given in any translator, it directly translate to donut block... so I don't know what's that about.
Now all we need is a remake of the one before this
Heck ya love story time with choc these longer videos are awesome
I love your content. It just makes me happy.
I don't have a core memory about seeing a movie in the theater, but I do have one with MvsDK and a movie. One day I was playing a DS one, either March of the Minis or Minis March again, and I was in some of the respective metallic/magnetic levels. Well, while I was playing that, the TV on my room was in Disney XD playing the movie Mars Needs Moms. And for some reason, a snapshot of a specific part of one specific level was burned into my memory and tied to something like "Mars Needs Mom was playing at this moment". So every time I play that level I am just reminded about that movie. But sometimes even while thinking about those games, as that picture of me holding my 3DS in a specific part of the level is imbued in my memory, I sometimes just end up remembering that and thus the movie. I haven't seen that movie in years, but I know that if I encounter it again some day I will just think bak about that level accordingly. More so, I remember that said movie even exists thanks to that game and level. If not I wouldn't have remembered it at all.
This series as a whole is my childhood. It’s a blast!

Thank you for doing all these so you don’t have to things keep them up thanks bro 😊
We not gonna talk about how DK left his front door open?
I called it! It WAS Mario vs dk! Good work 100 percenting it!
DragonBall honestly really came heavily into my life through the Budokai games. I played them a lot growing up, and fell in love after being able to watch it through Kai, and its just always stuck ever since. Even now, its a big part of my life
The way I see it is that rather than actually being Bowser's troops, shy guy types are more like an independent mercenary faction. Same for boos probably, they seem more about chaos than serving Bowser, plus King boo.
Donkey Kong at 57:28: Oooohhhh, what does THIS button do???

I'm not fully done with the video but leaving this here. I distinctly remember this one time my mom took me all the way down town to the north star mall to see finding nemo at the imax theater. the movie was closed and i was crushed, but we ended up watching bruce almighty instead. I haven't watched that movie in years and probably wouldn't care for it now, but it's weirdly got a special place in my heart for that anyway. (ended up not getting to see nemo in theaters, but on the bright side, made up for that by going to see finding dory in a casa blanca theater with my best friend)
I never planned on playing it at all, but if I did, you've saved me from the mistake. If there was a god, this would be his work.

31:30 thanks for putting a brazilian game in the video, and also Salutations from Brazil to you
I can answer your question about the presents; in the gba original, collecting all the gifts in a level would play a minigame at the end. The gifts had different kinds of 1-up mushrooms in each of them but 1 would have a DK head and if you got that one you lost
The US Mario 2 game was a reskin of Doki Doki Panic, but only needing to each levels once. In Doki Doki Panic you needed to complete each level with each character.
I would love to see a series on the original games!
Mini land mayhem is probably the only one of the games I'd actively recommend you attempt to play imo
We need a maker of this. So much potential.
