I’ve just got done playing through most of Game & Watch Gallery 3, finding anything Donkey Kong-related. I specifically want to mention what a good job they did with the modern version of DK Jr., with a pic of the Classic mode too for comparison. Similarly to the modern Donkey Kong in GWG2, there’s multiple stages, new Mario series enemies, and plenty of colour in the updated version. I also like how you progress from day to evening to night.

I’m not going to do a full review of the game, but it’s an improvement on the second/third one (Australia got an extra zeroth edition in the series for some reason). The presentation’s pretty similar to 2, specifically the GBC version, but it’s got more unlockables and a little map to walk around where the extras are.

I was also impressed by the amount of Yoshi content. Egg and Greenhouse in particular have you playing as Yoshi and bring in Cookie and Island elements respectively, and turtle bridge has Toad jumping over Goonies, a rare intersection of Toad with the Yoshi series.

As a whole the game’s mostly iterative, especially when played right after 2. What I’ve seen of the Advance one though looks like it goes well above and beyond. Looking forward to that.
