[@lottietrohear9127]

Yes that’s exactly why Nintendo has gone too soft with Mario as they have toned down the dramatic hilarious entertaining violence into a soulless shallow.

[@Goomba1309]

And it's not like they couldn't add some sort of option to toggle the fall damage on and off instead of outright removing it, or at the very least make it so only the easier difficulty removes the fall damage while keeping it in the normal one...

[@addisonfung5009]

If this is for Casual Mode only then fine, but in Classic as well? That’s not cool.

[@biskitvixxn]

I wasn't gonna buy the remake anyway, but the lack of fall damage actually ruins the game for me. I could forgive the lack of death animations, but removing game mechanics is unforgivable.

[@pablosobradomorthera7975]

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.

[@jayo1212]

What I don't like is that Mario's voice lines in the game are little more than just stock voice clips from previous games. What I consider the charm of the game was all of Mario's unique lines throughout the original game.

Y'know, I never questioned it until now, but when you lose in the Mini Mario levels, why does MARIO HIMSELF lose a life? From a gameplay standpoint it kinda does make sense, but do Mario and the Mini Marios share a conscience such that if they die, he dies too? Or does Mario become so freaking depressed that he just up and commits slip n slide offscreen if he loses all Mini Marios? Mario VS Donkey Kong truly is a dark game, I tell you what

[@lottietrohear9127]

Thanks for the side by side comparison of the original and remake. My thoughts about the remake death animations… I am absolutely disappointed with them Nintendo has taken the charm away as they have toned down the slapstick humour away and trashed the iconic violence away as they have gone into the baby kiddy friendly territory as they added a stupid casual mode when Mario is in a bubble and the timer is paused making it so easy that you can’t die when you get hit and bubble saves you! Not to mention this about collecting the stars from each stage as the high score board has been removed as you have to collect all 3 presents instead beating your high score like hurry save time defeating enemies to get little score points as if you beat the current high score you get rewarded a star but in the remake they have removed it… And the iconic Mario voice lines especially the dialogue gone… Not even “Come Back Here You Big Monkey!” That left fans devastated. Most of the music for each levels are so unrecognisable like Fire Mountain and Twilight City and some of the remastered music doesn’t fit very well as there’s too much jazz and not very catchy or energetic it doesn’t match the original correctly… Who agrees with me as if you remember playing the original 20 years later?

[@Oceane1803]

I agree with everything

[@dariuscox3576]

I think they removed the score-based system to make wave for the new time attack mode.

[@lottietrohear9127]

@@dariuscox3576 It would have made sense if it was already here during the whole story instead of an extra mode because if you want to get the stars In each worlds stage you need to defeat enemies and do some handstands to get little points along with collecting all of the presents and saving the time limit as that’s how you get rewarded for a star in the original.

[@dariuscox3576]

Not really a death perse, but you forgot the one where Mario presumably gets “choked” by those bats in Mystic Forest. Is it different in the remake? EDIT: I checked and….it’s different. Mario kinda just….falls. Lame…

As morbid as the GBA version of Mario vs Donkey Kong deaths were, I think it is harder to take the deaths very seriously when Mario just falls off the screen in the Switch remake version. At least with the GBA version, dying actually made it look dying instead of looking very silly.

[@besihodja393]

To be honest the switch version feels like a big downgrade to death animations compared to the GBA version plus removing some of mario's unique voice lines. Doesn't really help that in the files there are animations recreated from the original (along with some fun easter eggs)

[@EikeKusch776]

Thank you for calling out the bland death animations. GBA had more unique ones than the remake that has done away with and made a generic animation in place of most possible deaths Mario can have (SMB style), lava death lost its engulfing Mario in flame and left in charred while electricity death doesn't have zaaaaappp sfx and showing Mario's skeleton. They're way too safe and boring now.

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

I'm neither team. I'd rather team up with Kirby and Sonic.

[@Master0fHyrule]

Kirby is cute

[@Oceane1803]

They removed all the custom death interactions and Mario still interacting with the level when dying, like getting burned and still landing on the plateform after the knocked back animation is played instead of falling in nothingness. The only one I would argue is better in the remake is "Squished up". I don't get why Mario doesn't get flatten like with squished down and sideways in the original. But the original is still better in so many other ways.
