I've played it on Colecovision, atari 2600, and Arcade but I would have to say this is the best version that I've played. It is really, really, really fun. BUT WHERE'S THE FACTORY LEVEL?!? Oh well, I suppose you can't please everyone. The graphics are good, but nothing special - or mabye they ARE special, but I think they are ordinary because I've been playing way to much Gamecube. But they are still good. They sound effects are average, just BEEPS and BANGS and the occasional BUONG, but the music is very nice indeed. Unfortunately, the average gamer could knock mode A off in about 20 mins. But mode B is still quite challenging. But even when I clock the game for the 50 bazillionth time I find that I continue to play. And again. And again. Then a brief rest until my eyes start watering from staring at the screen. And then a few more times. Then you realize that you're 74 years old and staring at a carrot. It is just that fun. 2.ABOUT DONKEY KONG The arcade version of Donkey Kong came out in 1979. It was then ported to the NES in a near perfect conversion. He has appeared on about every console and has become a video game icon. Later on he joined Diddy,Lanky,Tiny and Chunky Kong, but DK will always be the best of the kongs. He has also appeared in many "guest appearences" (MarioKart, Super Smash Bros. etc) and he has already changed the world of video gaming at least 3 times. 2.GAME BASICS Here I give you some basic infomation about the game,Like stuff you'd mostly stuff you find in the instruction manual for Donkey Kong. But hey,Who can be bothered reading 'em? There are 2 modes A & B. A is the easier mode and B has more enemies that move a lot faster. i.STORY It seems that the damn dirty ape (donkey kong, you morons), has gone and stolen Marios beloved girlfriend. Mario wants her back but donkey keeps climbing up a building to keep her for his own usage. So Mario needs to save her while she stands there screaming "help". Simple, but effective. ii.CONTROLS Left: Mario moves to the left. Right: Mario moves to the right. Up: Mario climbs up the ladders Down: Mario climbs down the ladders Start: Pause the game Starts selected game in menu. Select: Choose game in the menu. A: Mario jumps B: Not used. iii.ENEMIES These are not the real names. I made them up, but I think they get the point across.In every level there is a DK. All enemies (except DK) can be destroyed with a hammer. Otherwise you have to jump over them. LEVEL 1 Barrel-Standard orange barrel. Can roll down ladders. Blue Barrel-Sometimes acts as a barrel, sometimes as a thing that can do practically anything. Can be ignited into a fireball. Fireball-Fireballs can act as a mario, but can't jump. Very annoying. LEVEL 2 Fireball-Fireballs can act as a mario, but cant jump. Very annoying. Weird springy thing-Weird sringy purple, err, spring.Makes an annoying sound. FINAL LEVEL Ghost Duck-Intelligent things. Look like a a ghost but is a duck (I think). DK-Public Enemy no 1. He is like the commander of the ghost ducks. iv.CHARACTERS Mario-Main character and guy you contol. Dresses in red. Donkey Kong-Giant evil gorilla. Hes kinda brown. Pauline-Marios girlfriend. Does nothing. v.SCORING Jump over 1 enemy-100 points Jump over 2 enemies-300 points Destroy an enemy with a hammer-100 points At the start of the level your time-o-meter gives you 5000 points. Every second it goes down until the level is over. When you are on L2 it gives you 6000 points When you are on L3 it gives you 7000 points When you are on L4 it gives you 8000 points When you are on L5 it gives you 9000 points When you are on L6 or higher it gives you 10 000 points When you score 1 000 000 points, you receive a life vi.ITEMS All items are worth 300 points and 800 points in mode B The items are Handbag (it is NOT a bucket) Umbrella MODE A WALKTHROUGH Here we have the FAQ for mode A. Each level I will provide a map, info and a walkthrough. LEGEND |=ladder !=not entirely connected ladder ____=floor ----=floor ====floor that pauline stands on *=oil tank m=mario (where you start off) DK=Donkey Kong p=Pauline #=item (hat, umbreller etc.) -=elevater LEVEL 1 p === | DK | _____________________________________ ! | _____________________________________ | | ! _____________________________________ ! | | _____________________________________ | | _____________________________________ * m ! | ------------------------------------- INFO-This would be the most famous of the Donkey Kong levels. It is also the only level that involves barrels (both kinds). It also contains 2 hammers. But I dont recomnend using them. Overall this a fairly challenging level that may take a couple of tries before you get it. WALKTHROUGH-At the start go to the first complete ladder you see. Climb up, and you should be able to get to the next ladder in time before the barrel comes. Jump a barrel and go to the next ladder. When you come up, watch for some barrels that roll down the ladders. Move onto the next ladder. Again, watch out for barrels that roll down the ladder and hit you. Then simply jump a barrel or 2 and go up to Paulines platform. LEVEL 2 p DK ===== | _______________________________ # | | | __ - - | __ | # | | __ | ___ | __ | __ ___ | | | || | | | - || - _____ | | || | __ | __| | __ | __ | | | | __ | - - __ __| | | | | | | ___ m| | | __ __| | | ___ __ --------------------------------------- INFO-Normally Level 2 would be the Factory level (the level with the evil pies and conveyer belt) but it wasn't included in this port.The elevater on the left goes up, and the elevater on the right goes downward. This is the only level that has the wierd springy things. THEY ARE SO ANNOYING!!!!! This a challenging level that I used to absolutely hate. WALKTHROUGH-Climb up the ladder and get the item. Go back down to the middle platform and jump onto the elevater.Jump over to the next platform above 2 ladders.If you at the top of it, you can jump onto the elevater and then onto the platform to your right too it to save time.Otherwise, jump off at the platform at the bottom and continue on. When you get to the next platform a weird springy thing will jump in between the platform your standing on and the next one. When you get to the ladder, climb up. On the next platform there is an annoying fireball. Wait for it to go up and then keep on proceeding until you get to the final ladder.Climb up, and you will notice the weird springy things bounce over you.When he jumps over you, proceed to go and rescue Pauline. LEVEL 3 DK p _^______________^__ | | | | | | | | _______^______^________ | | | | # | # | ___^_________________^____ | | | | | | | | ___________^______^__________ | | | | m | | ______________________________ INFO-In this level you must run/jump over all the gold hinges (marked as a ^ on the map. When you do this DK will fall and you will have Pauline. This is the only level that has the ghost ducks. Occasionaly when you try to jump them they will change direction and you will land on them, so watch out. This level also has a hammer, but is not needed in the level. WALKTHROUGH-In this level, you have to run/jump over all the gold hinges. Go up the closest ladder and run over the hinges. Watch out, as Ghost ducks often appear on this floor. Then go up the next ladder, and do the same thing. Collest the items on the way while still Watching out for the ghost ducks as well. Go up the next ladder and do the same thing. But for the very top platform,if you touch DK he'll throw you away like your nothing but a grammy award. So you have to around and do them individually. When you do them all, DK will falland smash his head, while Mario and Pauline get back together. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You have just beaten Donkey Kong. Now you can do it all again! 4.MODE B DIFFERENCES In this section I will describe what differences there are between mode "A" and mode "B". LEVEL 1 -DK releases more barrels -The barrels have a different route down -At the start DK will release a blue barrel that goes diagonal across the screen. At the start if you keep on runnin' you'll just make it to the ladder LEVEL 2 -Weird springy things are faster -DK releases more weird springy things LEVEL 3 -Ghost ducks are more intelligent -More ghost ducks appear 5.GAME GENIE CODES Please note that I don't recomend using these codes because a.It may scramble your games code b.It is the weak way of cheating c.The game isn't that hard anyway But alas, here are all the ones I could find. _______________________________________ | | |SXNGOZVG Unlimited lives | | | |PENKNPLA Start off with 1 life | | | |PENKNPLE Start with 9 lives | |_____________________________________| 6.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Here is where I answer questions people have asked me, no matter how stupid they are Q:Is there any way to get an extra life?
