So, this is pretty old trivia, but if you go into your wayback machine, you'll note that at E3 2002, Nintendo unveiled a new game called Donkey Kong Plus:

It was to be a direct sequel to the GB title Donkey Kong. However, the game would disappear, and later come back later as Mario vs. Donkey Kong. Also note that the original design for Donkey Kong Plus only showed two differences between it and the original Donkey Kong: updated graphics and a level designer. Meaning no Mini Marios to rescue.
