In my confession, I never played the first game when it came out for the Game Boy Advance back in 2004 (as I was only a kid at 5 years at that time, and I didn’t know this back in the day, though I remember at that time when my older sister played Pokémon: Ruby and Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak on the said Nintendo handheld console, if you were around that time long before the digital age 20 years ago (2 decades ago), you’ve probably played them). I played later games in the series starting with Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! for the DSiWare on the Nintendo DSi back in 2010. Though, the first game that was released that changed to where you control and guide the Mini Mario toys to the portal was in the Nintendo DS game, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, making the gameplay action puzzle.
Man, I’ve been playing on the Nintendo Switch console since 2018.
