Level 7-3 marks the third stage within World 7, known as the Mystic Forest, in the 2024 Nintendo Switch rendition of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. This level mirrors the layout of level 5-3 from the original Game Boy Advance edition and is renowned for its formidable challenges. However, with this walkthrough, navigating it becomes more manageable.
Similar to every standard level in Mario vs. Donkey Kong, your primary objective is to transport the key to the door, unlocking the second stage while collecting a gift en route. Subsequently, in the second stage, your aim is to reach the Mario Toy, acquiring two additional gifts along the way. Notably, the initial stage poses the greatest challenge, appearing deceptively simple but demanding precise timing to manipulate the conveyor belts effectively.
Mario vs Donkey Kong level 7-3 walkthrough
Door stage
Begin by picking up the key and leaping onto the white switch. Subsequently, jump onto the conveyor belt, drop the key, and crouch. Both you and the key will be conveyed to the left side of the screen. Retrieve the key, utilize the spring to bounce up to the platform above, and activate the yellow button. Leap across to the conveyor belt, drop the key, and crouch, ensuring both you and the key advance until reaching the yellow block. Seize the key, jump onto the yellow block, and acquire the red gift before landing back on the yellow block.
The ensuing segment requires seamless execution of the following actions with precision and speed. Swiftly jump and hurl the key onto the lengthy conveyor belt above. Immediately descend to the ground and utilize the ground-level conveyor belt to maneuver to the left side, enabling you to hit the white button before the key reaches the end of the lengthy conveyor belt. Hasten to press the red button, then utilize the ground-level conveyor belt to return to the right side. Ascend the red ladder, ensuring retrieval of the key before its expiration.
If any mishaps occur, you’re likely either missing a step or failing to execute swiftly enough. While the timeframe is tight, it allows ample room for successful completion. Maintain swiftness without succumbing to haste or panic.
Mario Toy stage
Descend to the left, grasp the bomb, and utilize it to demolish the leftward wall. Acquire another bomb, then employ the spring to propel upwards and hurl the bomb to the left, ensuring destruction of the three grey blocks on the upper level. Ascend the ladder, retrieve a bomb, descend to the right, and proceed leftward, tossing the bomb onto the grey blocks over the blue button. Adequate destruction of all three blocks is unnecessary, as long as access to the blue button is achieved.
Activate the blue button, ascend halfway up the ladder, sprint leftward, and execute a backflip (left, then right and A/B simultaneously) to secure the yellow gift. Ascend to the ladder’s zenith, collect a bomb, and navigate rightward across the blue platforms. Acquire the blue gift and dispatch the bomb to the right, obliterating the obstructing rocks and granting access to the Mario Toy. Descend and claim the Mario Toy effortlessly.
