"From GBA to Switch: Mario vs. Donkey Kong's Timeless Rivalry"
The original composers of Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the GBA, DigiPen Music Department, were brought back to revamp the game's score for its Switch remake, incorporating acoustic performances to complement the virtual soundscape. The team, with a long history of work with Nintendo, had to keep their involvement under wraps while continuing to work as teachers at DigiPen. Lawrence Schwedler, one of the original composers, praised the freedom given by Shigeru Miyamoto and Koji Kondo and described the project as "the opportunity of a lifetime."
