Mario Vs Donkey Kong Remake Has Removed Most Of The Intro's Iconic Dialogue

thegamer.com:

The Switch remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong 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 remake for the Switch 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.

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. Nintendo recently shared the remake's version of the intro cutscene to drum up some excitement for the impending remake, but fans quickly noticed how different it is from the Game Boy Advance version.

In the original version of the cutscene, 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, but it's also notable for being one of the only times where Mario actually speaks in complete sentences. 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
