2.5/5 ★ – MechaniChris's review of Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars.

These games really haven’t changed since like the second entry. Every one adds maybe one new feature. This one has an evil monkey that attaches to one of your minis that you have to knock off. I don’t know man, I’ve put this one off for so long, and now I’ve played nearly every Mario game I can get my hands on. I strongly hope they stop making these. Actually I take that back. This would be a FINE app game. I would probably play it out of boredom from time to time, and it would get a lot more engagement than the dumb “tipping” system in this one. I obviously didn’t play this at its height, but I can’t imagine the community was ever that vibrant. It’s the same game! It’s always the same game! They don’t even give this one a decent framing device! It’s literally a still photo of DK carrying Pauline, and then when you beat the game, it’s a still of DK and Pauline standing under a SURPRISE banner. The whole game was a prank on Mario, and on me.
