The remake of has sadly removed most of the pair's iconic dialogue from the intro cutscene, only keeping a little bit of Mario's rant towards DK at the end.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo's most underrated series, so seeing the first game get a remak𓆏e for the Switc𒁃h was a great moment for fans. Not only would they be able to replay the game and experience it looking its absolute best, but it also meant that we'd all be able to laugh even harder at Mario and DK's weird dialogue from the cutscenes.

Can the♒ Switch's successor prove its impressive po💙wer with more Mario and Pokemon?
At least, that's what most of us thought. As it turns out, though, the Switch remake has dialled things down significantly and taken away a lot of what made the original game's story so much fun. to drum up some excitement for the impending remake, but fans quickly noticed how different it is from the Game Boy Advance version.
, Donkey Kong has a ton of personality, ironically saying, "Hey, coooooooool" when he finally gets his grubby mitts on some Mini Marios. Mario is just as feisty in the Game Boy Advance version of the game, shouting at Donkey Kong as he runs away with the toys, saying "No you don'tttttt" and memorably spouting a ton of gibberish as he gives chase to the ape.
At least we still get to hear the TV🍨 say "Mmmm, bananas" in the remake.
The Game Boy Advance cutscene quickly became a big meme among Mario fans, . You'd think such an iconic and beloved moment for the plumber would be kept in the Switch remake of the game (especially since Super Mario RPG even kept in Peach's "???" item), but it's been toned down a lot.
In the Switch version of the intro, Donkey Kong no longer speaks at all and now just makes his standard ape noises. Mario's rant towards DK has also been cut down significantly, as he now just tells DK to wait and seems minorly annoyed, which is a big change from his seething anger towards him in the original.
The changes have clearly been made to make Mario seem less angry and more heroic about the whole situation, but it's a big shame considering how much personality it gave him in the Game Boy Advance version. Here's hoping that the equally iconic ending hasn't been changed around as much.
