Donkey Kong is an A-Maze-Ing Arcade series ball-in-a-maze puzzle game that was released in 1982 by Colorforms. The game is very similar to the arcade game of the same, having an identical plot and similar gameplay. In the game, the player takes control of Mario "The Brave Carpenter" (who is representing by a rolling ball) to rescue "The Beautiful Girl" from the clutches of Donkey Kong. Mario starts at the bottom left side of 25m, and the player must roll Mario up the site, avoiding Barrels, Fireballs, and broken Ladders. Once the player has reached the top, they must carefully roll Mario, making sure to not roll him too far to the left, leading to him getting defeated by a Fireball, but also not rolling him too far to the right, leading to him being caught by Donkey Kong. Once the final Ladder has been climbed, Mario saves "The Beautiful Girl." If Mario gets defeated during the game, he must restart from the beginning.
