Donkey Kong is a platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System where players control Mario, a carpenter on a mission to rescue Pauline from the titular ape, Donkey Kong. Players navigate a series of obstacles, including barrels and fireballs, while climbing platforms. This NES version features three stages, differing from the original arcade release, offering a challenging experience for players.
Donkey Kong has kidnapped Pauline, and it is up to Mario, the fearless carpenter, to come to her rescue. Throwing fate to the wind, Mario tries desperately to climb the labyrinth of structural beams from the top of which Donkey Kong taunts him. Help our hero ascend the metal structure by dodging an assortment of fireballs, steel beams, and exploding barrels the angry ape hurls at him. Prepare yourself for a never-ending adventure as Donkey Kong takes Pauline away to the next level every time Mario gets to the top. Based on the arcade game of the same name, this classic will keep hardcore and casual gamers entertained for hours.
This Donkey Kong port differs from the arcade game, having only three stages instead of four.
