About This Game
A massive gorilla has abducted a young woman and spirited her away to a sprawling construction site filled with treacherous obstacles. Mario faces the daunting challenge of ascending through the industrial maze while avoiding barrels, fireballs, and other hazards the beast hurls in his path. With each level conquered, the plumber draws closer to the summit where the ape awaits, forcing him to navigate increasingly perilous platforms to reach his goal and free his captured love.
