Donkey Kong is the legendary 1981 arcade platformer by Nintendo that introduced the world to Jumpman (who would later become Mario) and his endless quest to rescue Pauline from the titular giant ape. In this classic climbing game, you must navigate a series of treacherous girders, elevators, and conveyor belts while dodging hazards to reach the top of each screen.
How to Play
The goal is to reach Pauline at the top of each stage before the bonus timer runs out. You must avoid obstacles like rolling barrels, bouncing springs, and living fireballs. In your browser, use the Arrow Keys to move and climb ladders, press Z or X to jump, use Shift to insert coins, and hit Enter to start.
Tips
- Grab the Hammer: Snagging the hammer allows you to smash barrels and fireballs for bonus points, but you cannot climb ladders while holding it.
- Watch the Ladders: Barrels can randomly roll down vertical ladders instead of continuing along the girders, so always be ready to move out of the way.
- Collapse the Structure: On the rivet stage, you must walk or jump over all the yellow plugs on the floors to remove them and defeat Donkey Kong.
