🎮 Play Donkey Kong Japan Set 2 Online (Arcade)

Developed by Nintendo in 1981, Donkey Kong is the legendary arcade platformer that introduced the world to Mario (then called Jumpman). Tasked with rescuing Pauline from a giant ape, players navigate a series of increasingly perilous construction site stages, establishing the blueprint for the entire platforming genre.

How to Play

Your objective is to reach the top of each screen to save Pauline before the bonus timer runs out. Use the arrow keys to run and climb ladders, and press Z or X to jump over incoming hazards.

Tips

Grabbing the hammer temporarily lets you smash barrels and fireballs for extra points, but remember that you cannot jump or climb ladders while holding it. Watch out for blue barrels, which can drop down ladders unpredictably, so always leave yourself an escape route.
