The main difference besides the controls, however, was that the game was much more strictly a puzzle game than an action title (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it lacked the genre originality that the first title heralded). Sure, the format was similar, featuring just over 80 levels and a similar scoring system (where collecting everything in the level and finishing in a reasonable amount of time can reward you). Instead, the game was very different featuring entirely touch screen controls and movement of the characters that almost seemed “on rails” at times (very akin to the Lemmings series). Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis was an exciting sequel to me as I was expecting an experience much like its predecessor.

In short, the game was a classic, and one of my favorite unique titles on the Game Boy Advance. With just over 100 levels, the game had an enormous amount of value and replayability as well (each level had two parts and the first 45 levels play differently than the next 45). However, it also included a hefty portion of puzzle gameplay as well (and different modes of gameplay at that) that reminded me greatly of the MSDOS classic, Jetpack. The game featured a throwback to classics with its large amount of action gameplay clearly influenced by games such as the original Donkey Kong as well as Donkey Kong Junior (with many other action/platforming elements from other Mario games added into the mix). Donkey Kong game hit the Game Boy Advance back in 2004, I remember falling in love with the unique action puzzler.
