A full-on graphical update for the 1983 port of Donkey Kong to the NES/FC.
All in-game tiles have been replaced in this hack; most existing sprites have since been redrawn completely for the sake of this project, while a smaller portion of the graphics have just been altered to bring a bit more flair to the hack.

A full-on graphics update for the 1983 port of Donkey Kong to the NES/FC.
All in-game tiles have been replaced in this hack; most existing sprites have since been redrawn completely for the sake of this project, while a smaller portion of the graphics have just been altered to bring a bit more flair to the hack.
Development on this hack started at the very end of June 2018 and finished in August that same year.

Author's Notes:
*this hack is not compatible with the 2010 release "Donkey Kong Original Edition", nor do I intend to start working on a version of this hack for the Original Edition (at least not at the time of typing this, anyway)
*I've found that upon loading the rom, the wrong palette is loaded for the the Mario sprite that appears on the title screen. Starting a new game or simply letting the gameplay demo play out will give Mario his intended palette. The correct palette is maintained after a game over or a console reset.

Thanks for downloading; I hope you enjoy the hack and appreciate the effort that went into completely redrawing a classic. -JY
