Mario vs. Donkey Kong Switch - Mario's Animations

Mario's animations in the remake. There are unused ones depicting death animations from the original game, which seem to have been sadly abandoned in favor of The Classic Super Mario Bros. Death Animation(TM)

Nintendo copyright BLOCKED (not even just monetized, straight up went "nobody should see this") the original upload of this. They are afraid of the power of Mario burning to death. They of course rejected my dispute as well and if I escalate it from there, their inevitable rejection will strike my channel. Guess it's better to just reupload it and hope because the game is out now they won't come after me again.

Preserving unused content in games is important and is not something Nintendo is legally protected to scrub from the Internet. If they release it, we can datamine it. YouTube happens to be the best platform for hosting videos like this and have them seen. I'm going to be upset if they delete this again.

Unused Death Animations:

Falling: 2:47

Fire (Mid-air): 2:56
Fire (Landed): 3:00

Shocked (Mid-air): 3:20
Shocked (Landed): 3:29

I understand them toning down the GBA animation where it looks like Mario's eyes burned from their sockets, and even this new unused one is more disturbing than usual, but I don't understand the electric one being removed.

I think Nintendo might have an internal mandate against leaving Mario's unconscious body on stage after death* because that hasn't happened since Galaxy 2 in 2010. (Not counting Spin-offs/RPGs.)


*Save for getting squashed by pillars in Mario Odyssey

Honestly. Seeing the original death animations remade, and not being used... Sucks. A lot. Especially that shock animation! Such an improvement from the original... Even had the elusive V-Sign! We were so robbed in this remake. A lot of the charm was lost. Especially the cutscenes. I wish we had the original voice lines with no compression too.

1:50 Okay now he's just doing the BLJ 😂

A shame they removed so many of Mario's animations.

2 things: realized the “die” animations were the unused death animations based on the gba versions.
Can you please do Toad’s next? Kinda found it funny that he’s just known internally as Player2

It really sucks that the death animations wasn't implicated in the game because it does add charm to the game. I do question if something happen behind the scenes that made them nuke the animations cause I love the easter egg ones :)

The GBA graphics were ahead of their time

[Okeana_Aster]

So they did make all the various death animations of the original. But why not use them then ?

21:04 is what the new world 1 victory image was supposed to be. Someone should mod this game to add the missing death animations and victory images back in

Hey that's pretty neat! Could you also do the ones for all of Donkey Kong's animations? Thanks!!

Seeing animations of a Mario Model actually sounds interesting as not only does it show that but some scrapped animations that never made it to the game. Which is why I am glad Nintendo thought of using Classic Death in Mario Vs. DK instead of its original death animation that felt much better.

[HunterEvans-se]

how do you do this all kinds of animations?

3:10 the original DK Arcade death would’ve been so cool to see
