Donkey Kong

紹介 Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong is the legendary 1981 Nintendo arcade game that introduced Mario to the world. Climb ladders, jump over rolling barrels, and reach the top to rescue Pauline from the giant ape. A timeless platformer classic!

History of Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and released by Nintendo in July 1981. It was Miyamoto's first major game design and was born out of necessity after Nintendo needed a new game to replace unsold Radar Scope arcade cabinets in the American market. The game introduced "Jumpman" (later renamed Mario), who would become the most famous character in gaming history. Donkey Kong is widely credited as the first true platform game, establishing the genre that would dominate the 1980s and 1990s. The game also sparked a historic lawsuit when Universal Studios sued Nintendo, claiming the ape infringed on King Kong, but Nintendo won the case decisively.

Donkey Kong Tips & Strategies

• 💡Time your jumps carefully to clear barrels at the last possible moment, as jumping too early or late results in collision.
• 💡Use ladders strategically; climbing up one level and then moving back down can reposition you away from descending barrels.
• 💡Grab the hammer power-up to smash barrels for bonus points, but remember the hammer has a limited duration.
• 💡On the rivet level, prioritize the rivets on the side with more incoming hazards to reduce danger zones early.
• 💡Learn the barrel patterns; Donkey Kong throws barrels in semi-predictable sequences that you can anticipate with practice.
