 Mario makes a returning appearance in ''Donkey Kong'' for the [[Game Boy]]. The game basically starts as a remake of the original ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game, but after Pauline had been initially rescued, Donkey Kong gets up, and Mario has to make his way through an additional nine worlds before ultimately rescuing her.
-Mario has a wider variety of moves that he can use than in the original ''Donkey Kong''. One move is the Handstand, and when using it, Mario can protect himself from taking damage from certain falling objects like debris, as he does a literal handstand that bounces the objects off of his shoes. Another move is Mario's ability to pick up certain enemies and objects to lift above him before throwing them, a move he first had the ability to do in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. There are wires that Mario can hold onto, and he can use a move known as the wire-spin, in which he rapidly spins around before performing a high jump into the air. Mario can also move around while using a Handstand and even perform a high jump known as the Handstand Jump. While not a move of his, Mario sometimes has to construct a temporary path, known as a road, or ladder to further progress into a stage.

 Most stages within the added nine worlds feature an objective for Mario to pick up a key to take to a locked door, so that by unlocking it, he can continue on to the next stage. While Mario is carrying a key around, he can withstand an extra hit from an enemy or obstacle, but if this occurs, Mario drops the key.

-''Donkey Kong'' is an arcade game released by [[Nintendo]] that the protagonist, Mario must save Pauline from the primate antagonist [[Donkey Kong]]. The game repeats four stages that after the final stage is completed, the four stages repeat and get more challenging each time they are played and more points are earned.
+''Donkey Kong'' is an arcade game released by [[Nintendo]] that the protagonist, Mario must save Pauline from the primate antagonist [[Cranky Kong|Donkey Kong]]. Mario has to make his way through four stages—25m, 50m, 75m, and 100m. There is a temporary power-up item known as the Hammer that Mario can use to destroy certain obstacles along the path, such as the barrels thrown by Donkey Kong in 25m. Mario can also jump over various obstacles to earn points.
 ====''Donkey Kong Jr.''====

-In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Mario makes a cameo as one of Cranky's Video Game Heroes, the other two being Yoshi and [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]]. Their rankings are based on how many of Cranky's Video Game Hero Coins they are collected. Mario is ranked first on the podium. Mario has 39 of Cranky's Video Game Hero Coins, but since he is only one Video Game Hero Coin short than the total number that Diddy can find in his journey, specifically 40, it is possible for Diddy to claim Mario's rank of first place, relegating Mario to second place.
