Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong

Released1994
Donkey Kong is a Game Boy game which starts out with the premise of being a straight remake of the original Donkey Kong arcade game. Although at first it appears to be just a port, the familiar levels from the arcade game are just a prelude to the real platform jumping adventure. There are 97 levels spread out over 9 worlds. These levels are much more complex than the originals, featuring scrolling backgrounds, numerous objects to collect, and enemies to avoid. Along the way, you will encounter several boss style battles with Donkey Kong, as well. When played on a Super Game Boy, the game is colorized, digitized speech is added and the ending music takes advantage of the SNES sound chip.

About This Game

A massive ape abducts Pauline and drags her to a sprawling construction site, prompting Mario to chase after his captured companion across precarious scaffolding. By strategically removing the rivets that hold the platforms together, Mario manages to send the creature plummeting from a dizzying height, seemingly resolving the conflict and reclaiming Pauline. Yet the ape survives the fall and, undeterred, spirits Pauline away into the urban sprawl of Big-City, forcing Mario to mount a fresh pursuit through an entirely new landscape.
