I bought Mario Vs. Donkey Kong before a band trip in high school. I have a lot of good memories of working through the levels while in the back of a 15-passenger van. Later I played Donkey Kong '94 and playing them in that order really worked out since the original Game Boy game is the better game. I never did play any of the sequels because I was annoyed that they changed the gameplay so much to focus on the minis. I just wanted more puzzle platformer levels with Mario!
