Donkey Kong sees a commercial for the new Mini-Mario toy and decides to get one. Unfortunately, they are sold out, so he goes to the factory and steals them. Mario chases after him to recover the stolen toys.

'''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''' is a [[2004]] [[puzzle]] game with [[platform]] elements developed by [[Nintendo Software Technology]] and released for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. The game is the spiritual successor to [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]], which was released in [[1994]] for the [[Game Boy]]. The game's first sequel, [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]], was released on the [[Nintendo DS]] in [[2006]].

The game concept revolves around a combination of platform and puzzle elements, challenging [[Mario]] to find keys, reach a locked door, and rescue mini-Marios.

The game is an evolution of ''Donkey Kong Plus'', a title on display at E3 2002. During the show, Plus had a feature that allowed players to design and save their own levels on the [[GameCube]], then copy them across to the [[Game Boy Advance]] using a link cable. It was essentially an updated version of [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]] for the [[Game Boy]], but Donkey Kong Plus disappeared by the following year. It was replaced with the pre-rendered graphics and gameplay additions of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. The Create-a-Level feature was removed from this version (but appears in its [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis|sequel]]).

This game has a hidden {{c|e-Reader}} support. Nintendo of Japan had a competition where 1,000 people won cards. However, there is space for twelve levels, and there were only five cards released. They are considered to be among the rarest of e-Cards.
