And why am I criticizing the NES version when I am reviewing the GBA version? Because the "NES Classics" version is a straight port of that version. That said, here lies one of the biggest mysteries the NES ever created: Why, oh why, could the system brought us the "Super Mario Bros." and "Legend of Zelda" series, simply not give us the Pie Factory level? Why is it missing animations and in-between screens? I can understand the older systems like the ColecoVision and Atari 2600, but not the NES. The GBA version also saves your high score, so that's something also to be noted. Simply put, the game has stood the test of time, and remains as fun to play now as it was then. It's a fun game with catchy music, memorable characters, fun animations and lots of challenge. So much has been said about the Donkey Kong arcade game, that it's simply one of gaming's biggest legends.
Like the original Donkey Kong, the earlier 1980's console versions do not have all of the levels and animations from the arcade.(Note: This is for the 2004 "NES Classics" version, not the e-Reader card.)ĭonkey Kong remains a timeless classic, as well as the launching point for two of Nintendo's biggest stars: Mario and Donkey Kong.
Once all four levels are cleared, the game levels will start over at a higher difficulty. In the final cut scene, Junior will free Donkey Kong and both will escape after giving Mario the boot. However, any long fall or falling into the water on certain levels will mean the loss of a life for Junior. Junior can also avoid enemies more easily by grabbing hold of two chains or vines at a time to climb away faster, or by jumping over his foes. The more foes a piece of fruit hits in a falling sequence, the higher bonus points can be scored. Junior can defend himself by dropping fruit found around the levels on the heads of his foes. As Donkey Kong Jr., players will have to make their way through four different levels (Vines, Springboard, Chains and Mario's Hideout) in an attempt to find keys to free the little monkey's father.Īlong the way, Mario will send out Snapjaws, swooping purple birds, and electric sparks in an attempt to stop Junior. In this game, Mario plays the antagonist, finally having captured Donkey Kong, and has put the ape in a locked cage. was originally released in the arcades in 1982 as a sequel to Donkey Kong.
