Are You Team Mario or Team Donkey Kong?

[CrispyToast]

I guess the GBA death animations were too brutal. o.o;

[RayoMcQueen]

literally all of the death animations with the exception of up squished are straight up downgrades

[gavinbunting]

At least they kept the best death animation of being squashed.

[ricozeldafan]

I wish they remade the death animations for the switch remake

[TronicSSJ]

The new death animations are Nintendo’s way of saying “Don’t worry, kids! If you put yourselves in life threatening situations, you’ll be just fine, just like Mario! This will in no way be crippling to your physical or mental state!”

[fengce]

Donkey Kong clocking Mario in the face will never be the same

[GmShyGuy]

Worst part?
Unused in the files of the demo for the game are updated versions of all of the old animations, including fire, and a brand new shock animation too. During the shock animation he would flash several poses, including the elusive V-SIGN! Oh how i miss that pose.

I'm not sure if they're still kicking around in the files of the final version, but i'm genuinely so disappointed they're unused.

Mario said 'Mama mia!' 23 times in this video.

1:10 Okay, the no fall damage schtick is just downright disrespectful. The fact that Nintendo removed this proves that they think we're (collectively) soft, so they put this.

[paperluigi]

1:12 After how high you can fall off of in Odyssey without fall damage, this makes sense.

[simplyNKH]

I like how they didnt add more death animations, yet made 2 new worlds

[NIGHTMARISM]

Honestly i prefer the old one cause even more funnier

[GlossyAnimates]

I like how Mario is sitting on the lava in 1:33 😂

[jonah]

the only thing that looks better is the Squashed animation, tho i kinda get that Nintendo doesn't want their mascot to straight up die anymore. but removing the pasta lines is TOO FAR

[afhamdanish]

I think the old one has more charm than the remakes I mean Mario dead animation in gba has a lot of different ways went you die but the remake kinda don't have that and that's why mario vs donkey kong in gba was special to me but hey at least they remove fall damage from the remake so that's good to know

[rubenvanderark]

Squished up is the only variation I liked in the remake

[MojoX.]

wow so he actaully dies in the old one and nintendo decides to keep alive and ok in the new one

[samuelmacias]

I was convinced that in GBA Mario died instead of an injury 🥲

[pablosobradomorthera]

You had one job in this remake, Nintendo.

Things I didn't like about the remake:

1. The cartoony SFX that were the charm of the game, they removed them.

2. The Death Animations were changed (except of being crushed)

3. They removed/changed many tracks of the game like: Fire Mountain, Twillight City, The Title Screen, and the battle themes.
