Overview
Description

Hotel Mario is a puzzle‑platformer where Mario and Luigi must shut every door across multiple hotel floors while battling mischievous enemies that reopen them. Using elevators to move between levels, players navigate seven Koopa‑run hotels, each with a set of increasingly tricky stages.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong puts you in the plumber’s shoes as he chases Donkey Kong across challenging levels on the Game Boy Advance. The goal is to collect keys, free trapped Mini‑Marios, and beat the clock before time runs out. Along the way you’ll learn new moves that let you solve increasingly clever puzzles and navigate tricky platform sections. The game blends classic platforming with brain‑teasing mechanics for a fresh yet familiar Nintendo experience.
