Everyone's a lot nicer in the remake! In the original, the toads laugh at DK and stomp his fingers. Now they're concerned when he falls.

[@Shreder3.0]

In original they actually sadists ☠️

[@BlueSunStudios1]

It makes Donkey Kong kidnapping them come across as far more mean spirited, especially when he smiles sadistically this time around. But yeah, Mario and the main crew can't be mean ever with the new mandates

[@ulissesleal2002]

I was thinking the exact same thing, the GBA version looks a lot more Darker than the remake, even Mario acts like a meanie, but still acts honest and nice to DK regardless. Tbf, the GBA version could be what is called a recall to their origins, that is to say, how they acted towards one another, considering that, way before bowser showed up, DK was there first at the arcades, so i believe it's kinda relatable that, in some manner, because of their longtime rivalry, compared to nowadays that both are incredible friends. Also, DK sounds so desperate in the old version when he takes damage, kinda reminds me of the scream that Tom makes when he hurts himself badly in the Tom and Jerry shorts.

I think it's kinda interesting how the final boss seems to lack any and all impact in the Switch version. The GBA version also felt a bit weak, but the punches and fists smashing onto the ground felt especially weak on the Switch. They need to hit the ground harder, and make the screen shake a lot more to feel convincing.

[@drrockstar4040]

[@christian0h]

The original True final boss was like the PEAK of my childhood. Hell I won't even lie the music and graphics made the scene feel WAY more climactic in the original than in the remake because the compression somehow made what you could interpret so much more important and lifelike. I still won't lie I'm glad they remade it and seeing Mario do most of his moves in actual 3D now is pretty damn cool. I think I liked how much darker the visuals were in the GBA version rather than the remake too Also I do miss literally EVERYONE laughing their asses off at DK running out of toys in the original, even if it might've been a bit out of character ;-;

Remake’s true final boss needs more… impact. Just kinda moves it’s fists around and lightly taps the ground, having maybe a screen shake or a thud whenever it spawns projectiles would give more of a audible appeal

[@one-upfilmz6649]

Dang, I dunno why they haven't released this for Donkey Kongs 40th birthday for a celebration, but at least Nintendo has finally given him the spotlight he deserves in a Nintendo Switch game✨️

[@TrademarkLover64]

I mean the original GBA game is turning 20 years old later this year (in May to be exact) so I think they did it in celebration of that.

[@thekindaprogamer9090]

Don't really like the new version, it's nowhere near as aggressive and intensifying as the old version, the screen doesn't even shake when the mech slams it's hands, and the sound effects don't help, just makes the new mech come off as alot more weak than the original one, and DK doesn't even shout when the mech gets attacked, he just has a minor tantrum and punches the glass (atleast it looks like he punches the glass) I just hope if they remake Miniland they'll do the final boss some justice.

[@mtvproductioning9811]

Neither did I. I also liked how the older version was more aggressive and epic and the game had more of a charm to it. In the remake they seriously nerfed quite a lot when it came to music, cutscene events, and the way the characters talk and are presented. It's just not the same without DK's more ferocious attitude and the upbeat soundtrack of the original, as well as the voicelines varying and actual speaking being used. Now it's like they've changed all that for little reason if any. As someone who's played the original front to back many times over the years, I can say I enjoyed that one better too. The remake just feels off.

I suppose they’re incorporating a bit of that Mario movie-DK energy. Instead of throwing a tantrum, he’s just offended.

[@KasdenW1995]

No, but he did sob at the end of the true final boss fight in the remake. So basically they swapped his despair and annoyance around in the remake.
