This is the most boring Mario game I've ever played. I've played previous Mario vs. Donkey Kong games, they were a lot more challenging and the level design was more creative. This feels like Nintendo dug out rejected levels from past games and slapped a fresh coat of paint on them.

You know what's the best sign of how uninspired this game is? It's not the fact that the second player character is a nameless Toad instead of Luigi or Pauline, it's how the cutscenes are the same action of Mario chasing after Donkey Kong instead of the varied actions in the cutscenes in Donkey Kong '96.
