'''''Donkey Kong''''' (alternatively '''''Game Boy Donkey Kong''''', and '''''Donkey Kong '94''''' in early development) is a [[Game Boy]] game released in 1994 by [[Nintendo]]. The game starts out with the premise of the original 1981 [[Donkey Kong (game)|''Donkey Kong'' arcade game]]. However, this game qualifies as both an extension and a standalone title; it features 97 additional stages beyond this original premise. It acts as a predecessor to ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''.

''Donkey Kong'' is the first game in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] with specialized support for colored graphics on the [[Super Game Boy]] peripheral for the [[Super Famicom]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], with the game's Super Game Boy border resembling the arcade cabinet of the original ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game. The game has slight audio enhancements on the Super Game Boy: [[Pauline]]'s distress cry sounds closer to a realistic cry for help (the Super Famicom and Super NES's sound chip supports the inclusion of voice samples), and the credits theme was also enhanced. This game also introduces [[Mario]]'s [[Backward Somersault|Backflip]] move and Pauline's current design.

''Donkey Kong'' is one of the earlier re-releases on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]], where it was released internationally in June 2011. It was released in South Korea on February 3, 2016.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|language=ko|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160222231342/http://www.nintendo.co.kr/3DS/eshop/eshop_virtualconsole.php|title=NINTENDO 3DS|publisher=Nintendo of Korea|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref> It was later re-released on the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online]] service in March 2025.

==Story==
[[File:DKClimb.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Donkey Kong carrying Pauline to the top of a construction site.]]
The player takes the role of [[Mario]]. [[Donkey Kong]] kidnaps Mario's lady friend [[Pauline]] and carries her off to a construction site. In a repeat of [[Donkey Kong (game)|the 1981 arcade classic]], Mario follows him up to the highest point and makes Donkey Kong fall off the platforms by pulling out the rivets supporting them, causing Donkey Kong to fall a height of [[100m]], reuniting Mario and Pauline, just like the events that took place 13 years ago. However, Donkey Kong unexpectedly recovers, takes Pauline, and escapes with her into the [[Big-City]]. Mario pursues the two.

What follows is a chase throughout many different locations. Mario fights and defeats Donkey Kong at the end of each world, but Donkey Kong always stands up again and takes Pauline to the next location. Donkey Kong is aided by many of his friends as well as his son [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], who try to hinder Mario's progress. In the end, Donkey Kong escapes to the [[Tower (world)|Tower]] beyond [[Rocky-Valley]], where he and Mario have a confrontation on the top. After his defeat, Donkey Kong falls off the Tower, but he then takes many [[Super Mushroom]]s to augment his size to giant proportions. Mario faces the [[Giant Donkey Kong]] in an epic final battle. After Donkey Kong's final defeat, he falls from the Tower once again as Mario and Pauline are reunited once again. The ending scene shows Mario and Pauline in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] as Pauline gives him a Super Mushroom to turn Mario into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. As Mario becomes super, Donkey Kong (now being back to normal) falls down on top of him. But because Mario now has super strength, he is able to lift up Donkey Kong. Having believed to be captured by both Mario and Pauline, Donkey Kong is left calling for help the same way Pauline did throughout the game. Donkey Kong Jr. jumps into the shot as a photo is taken and the credits roll. The ending photo of the game during the credits shows Mario, Pauline, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr. posing in front of Rocky-Valley for a holiday photo, indicating that they have all made amends with each other.

!Levels
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage0(ConstructionSite).png|129px]]
|'''[[Construction Site]]''' - The construction site is the setting of the original ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game. In this world, Mario's goal is to get to Donkey Kong, who is standing on the top of the stages [[25m]], [[50m]], and [[75m]]. Blocking Mario's path are enemies such as [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]]s, and platforms with gaps to jump across, [[elevator]]s and [[Conveyor Belt]]s. Donkey Kong also throws [[jack]]s at Mario. In the final stage of the world, [[100m]], Mario has to pull out all the rivets of Donkey Kong's construction to defeat him.
|4
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage1(BigCity).png]]
|'''[[Big-City]]''' - Big-City is the first world of the game in which Mario has to unlock doors with [[key]]s. It is a basic world that serves as an introduction to the basic items and moves of the game, such as handstands, roads, and ladders. It also contains two boss fights with Donkey Kong.
|8
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage2(Forest).png]]
|'''[[Forest (Donkey Kong)|Forest]]''' - The Forest adds more gameplay elements to the game, such as [[rope|vertical rope]]s to climb and water to swim in. [[Switch (Donkey Kong)|Switch]]es also make their first appearance - they can make roads appear and disappear. [[Snapjaw]]s that climb on ropes can be taken out with fruit. These stages reference [[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|''Donkey Kong Jr.'']]
|12
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage3(Ship).png]]
|'''[[Ship (world)|Ship]]''' - The stages on the Ship expand on the previously introduced game objects and add new puzzles to them. Mario now has to use Handstand Double Jumps, Wire Spins, and [[Walking Block]]s (to get over spiked gaps) to progress.
|8
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage4(Jungle).png]]
|'''[[Jungle (Donkey Kong)|Jungle]]''' - The Jungle expands on all types of levels found in the Forest. The complexity of vertical ropes increases, and there are ally creatures like [[Monchee]]s and [[Jumper]]s that help Mario to reach more areas. Enemies such as [[Dorakyū]] hinder Mario's progress while climbing ropes.
|12
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage5(Desert).png]]
|'''[[Desert]]''' - The Desert is the first world to feature [[Super Hammer]]s. They are used to break through walls. Most desert levels have more complex puzzle elements than the previous stages. In one stage, Mario has to take the Key up several stories to the door by only using ladders, roads and Jump Stands.
|12
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage6(Airplane).png]]
|'''[[Airplane]]''' - The Airplane is the only world in the game not to feature generic enemies. Airplane levels often feature winds that blow Mario away sideways. He has to work across elevators, conveyor belts and has to avoid many [[cannon]]s. The amount of moving platforms increases. Airplane stages also feature more than one locked door - the player has to remember the right one from which Pauline is seen screaming in the stage's intro.
|8
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage7(Iceberg).png]]
|'''[[Iceberg]]''' - The Iceberg features many slippery surfaces. Mario has to jump across rocks that are swimming in the water and that slowly sink while he is standing on them. [[Icicle]]s appear and can kill Mario as well as act as a platform for him to jump on once they hit the ground, or even before that.
|12
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage8(RockyValley).png]]
|'''[[Rocky-Valley]]''' - Rocky-Valley features the most difficult puzzle stages of the game, but also requires the player to use Mario's moveset to the best of his abilities. There are many places which require strategic thinking and exact knowledge of the game's unusual physics.
|16
|-
|[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage9(Tower).png]]
|'''[[Tower (world)|Tower]]''' - The Tower is the final stage of the game. In it, every single level is a boss fight with Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong Jr. Mario has to avoid many obstacles such as [[Poison Mushroom]]s and entire stages consisting of [[Crumble Block]]s. After Donkey Kong is defeated in stage 9-8, Mario has to fight him again in his giant form in stage 9-9.

==Gameplay==
===Level progression===
[[File:Donkey Kong Super Game Boy Screen 9.png|thumb|Stage 1-1.]]
The game starts out with four simple levels that Mario must scale in order to reach Pauline. These four levels are simplified versions of the original ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game. After reaching the top of the structure, Donkey Kong flees with Pauline into the city and beyond. The rest of the game's stages are divided between regular puzzle levels as well as more showdowns with Donkey Kong.

Each world has a varying amount of puzzle levels in which Mario needs to work against time to bring a key to a door to unlock it, thus advancing to the next level. The puzzles consist of building platforms and ladders and using them before they disappear, flipping switches, jumping on moving platforms, avoiding enemies and utilizing conveyor belts. Sometimes, [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] gets in Mario's way by flipping switches or throwing [[Poison Mushroom|poisonous mushrooms]] at him to shrink him. All puzzles require the player to carefully time jumps and pay attention to the physics of the game - ''Donkey Kong'' thus is a cross between a platformer and a puzzle game.

As well as the puzzle levels, each world has at least two battles with Donkey Kong; one takes place part-way through the stage, and involves Mario reaching Pauline while avoiding the debris falling on him as Donkey Kong [[Ground Pound|causes an impact]]. The second takes place at the end of each stage, and involves avoiding the barrels or other objects that Donkey Kong throws at Mario, picking them up and throwing them back at him. After beating a Donkey Kong boss level, there is a short cutscene of Mario chasing Donkey Kong while showing off how to do a special move in the game to the player. The player also gets one extra life for every 100 seconds of time left they had for the previous four levels, rounded up.

Each stage has a time limit in which it has to be beaten. It also keeps track of the high scores for each level. Whether the player made a new record is indicated on the Stage Clear screen after a Donkey Kong boss fight. The current high scores can also be viewed by pressing Start or Select.

In the final 'Tower' stage, each level consists of chasing Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. to the top of the tower, avoiding their attacks, eventually trapping Junior in a cage, and defeating a giant Donkey Kong in the final battle.

===Mini-games===
[[File:DKGB MG WheelOfFortune.png|thumb|left|The Wheel of Fortune mini-game.]]
[[File:DKGB MG SlotMachine.png|thumb|The Slot Machine mini-game.]]
There are also three items left behind by Pauline in each puzzle level - a parasol, a hat and a bag. Picking all three up before finishing the level unlocks a bonus mini-game in which the player can pick up extra lives. In The Wheel of Fortune mini-game, all the player has to do is to press {{button|gb|A}} to stop the wheel to gain either 1, 2 or, in later worlds, 3 lives. It is not possible to lose in The Wheel of Fortune.

In the Slot-Machine mini-game, the player has to press {{button|gb|A}} three times to stop each reel of the slot machine. The icons appearing on the reels are Mario, Donkey Kong, Pauline's hat, a hammer, and a Fireball. Mario gains lives for getting one of the following combinations:

===Basic controls===
Mario is controlled with the {{button|gb|pad}}. The physics in ''Donkey Kong'' are vastly different to those found in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. The player can jump with the {{button|gb|A}}. Mario's jump allows him to jump on enemies, but it does not go up considerably high. When falling farther than his jump height, Mario does a somersault which gives him a little bit of momentum. If he lands on a small platform, it can cause him to roll over the side and fall off. If he falls further, he gets stunned and is unable to move for several seconds upon hitting the ground, temporarily making him vulnerable. If he falls even farther, he lands on his head and dies upon impact with the ground.

Mario only has one hit point. While he is carrying any item, object or enemy, however, he cannot die. If he gets hit, he instead drops the item and becomes invulnerable for a short amount of time. This can save Mario for most kinds of impending deaths - he even survives [[Spike (obstacle)|spike]]s with it. If he falls too far, however, he drops the item in mid-air.

===Mario's abilities===

|-
|align=center|[[File:Mario Crouching.jpg|100px]]
|[[Crouch]]ing
|Holding Down on the {{button|gb|Pad}}.
|In the crouching position, Mario can avoid enemy projectiles more easily. He can also get through smaller passages while crouching and being on a conveyor belt or if Mario is pushed along by some enemies.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Mario Handstand.jpg|100px]]
|[[Handstand]]
|Holding Down on the {{button|gb|Pad}} and pressing {{button|gb|A}}
|The handstand is an essential move in the game. While doing a handstand, Mario is protected from most items that drop onto him from above. Handstands also serve as a preparation for several other moves that Mario can only execute from the handstand position. While doing a handstand, Mario can still move to the right and to the left, but it is considerably slower than walking.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Mario High Jump From a Handstand.jpg|100px]]
|[[Handstand|Handstand Jump]]
|Pressing {{button|gb|A}} while doing a handstand, then pressing A again on the feet
|Handstand Jumps allow Mario to reach platforms above him. If the Handstand Jump is timed right after Mario goes into the handstand position, a Handstand Double Jump is performed which allows Mario to reach even higher.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Mario Back Flip.jpg|100px]]
|[[Backward Somersault|Backflip]]
|Pressing {{button|gb|A}} while moving and pressing the {{button|gb|Pad}} into the opposite direction
|Backflips allow Mario to quickly reach higher platforms. They reach higher than Handstand Jumps, but come at the disadvantage of having to be in movement to execute them, so they cannot be done on small platforms easily.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Mario Spin.jpg|100px]]
|[[Wire Spin]]
|Pressing up on the {{button|gb|Pad}} while on a rope
|Mario can hang onto horizontal [[wire|rope]]s if he jumps at them. While hanging on the rope, he can perform a Wire Spin. A subsequent Wire Jump makes it possible for him to reach areas that are very high or very far away. The direction that Mario jumps to after the spin depends on the orientation of the rope. Sometimes, it is just upwards, sometimes it is sideways as well.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Mario Holding a Barrel.jpg|50px]]
|Picking up objects
|Pressing {{button|gb|B}} while standing on the object
|Similar to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario can pick up objects like the [[key]] while standing on them. This also works for several enemies in the game.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Mario Throwing a Key.jpg|50px]]
|Throwing objects
|Pressing {{button|gb|B}} while holding the object
|Thrown objects can hit enemies and take them out. Some enemies are invulnerable to thrown objects. Mario also has to throw items like the Key upwards (by pressing up on {{button|gb|pad}} and then {{button|gb|b}}) if he has to climb a ladder, as he cannot climb while holding any item. The key disappears after a few seconds if left alone, while thrown enemies struggle and stand up again.
|}

==Enemies==
''Donkey Kong'' features the enemies from the original arcade game ''Donkey Kong'' and many individual enemies of its own that are only found in this game. It does not feature any enemies from the mainstream ''Super Mario'' games, except for [[Spark]], who appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Many enemies in the game have a different appearance, but the exact same behavior. The appearance usually depends on the current world.

Mario can also get killed by Dorakyū if he falls too far after dropping from the rope.

==Objects and obstacles==
*[[Barrel]] - Donkey Kong throws barrels at Mario. He has to avoid them, and can also pick them up if they hit the ground. Barrels can be stopped falling by kicking against them in handstand position.
*[[Cannon]] - Indestructible obstacles that come in several configurations. Most fire bullets horizontally, and some charge up energy balls in other directions. Touching either projectile will cost Mario a life. 
*[[Cement tub]] - As in the original arcade game, they kill Mario if he runs into one.
*[[Conveyor Belt]] - Conveyor belts move Mario and any other object such as the key into a certain direction. The direction of conveyor belts can be manipulated by Donkey Kong or via switches.
*[[Elevator]]s - They allow Mario to get up or down. As falling too far kills Mario in the game, using them to get downwards is required on several occasions. Switches can change their direction.
*[[Ice Block]]s - Small platforms in some [[Iceberg]] stages that melt when [[Faiachū]] walk over them.
*[[Icicle]]s - Icy obstacles that fall from the ceiling in some Iceberg stages and can be temporarily used as platforms on the floor.
*[[Jack]] - They are thrown by Donkey Kong in some stages and kill Mario if he gets hit by one.
*[[Trampoline|Jump Stand]] - They are stationary and give Mario a jump boost when he lands on one.
*[[Ladder]] - Ladders are used to climb upwards. Several ladders in the game open and close at certain time intervals or when Donkey Kong hits the ground with his fist. While they are closed, Mario cannot go upwards on them.
*[[Switch (Donkey Kong)|Switch]] - Switches have many different effects in the game. They can make roads and ladders appear disappear as well as open doors, and change the direction of conveyor belts and elevators.
*[[Key Door|Locked Door]] - Mario progresses to the next level if he takes the key to it. In several levels, multiple locked doors appear, but only the one from which Pauline is seen screaming actually opens. In other levels, the locked door is hidden in the wall and the player has to remember its position.
*[[Oil drum]] - As in the original arcade game, they spawn [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]]s.
*[[Wire|Rope (horizontal)]] - Strings held together at both ends. Most are horizontal, but some are diagonal. Mario can [[Wire Spin|spin]] on these and aim a jump to attain higher ground. [[Wire Trap]]s travel on some of these as well.
*[[Rope|Rope (vertical)]] - Vertical ropes return from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' Mario can climb up and down on them, and he climbs faster if he can hold onto a rope with each of his hands.
*Moving platform - They move around in fixed patterns at different speeds. Their direction can be changed with a switch.
*[[Crumble Block]]s - Blocks that dissolve when Mario walks over them.

==References to other games==
*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': The original ''Donkey Kong'''s plot is remade and extended in this game and even begins with shortened versions of all four stages; it also includes both the hammer and Pauline's dropped items. Additionally, the original version of [[25m]] is remade as Stage 9-5.
*''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'': The character, as well as many enemies and gameplay elements from the game itself, are featured in the game.
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': Donkey Kong uses [[Super Mushroom]]s to grow [[Giant Donkey Kong|giant]] for the final battle. Also, the ending features a [[Warp Pipe]] and three [[? Block]]s (and Mario changing into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]), suggesting that at least Worlds 8 and 9 are located in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Additionally, the [[1-Up Mushroom]] sound effect is included in the game.
*''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'': [[Poison Mushroom]]s return from this game.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': The ability to pick up and throw items, as well as using keys to open doors, originated from this game.
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': The warning tone heard when star power or a switch's effects are about to end is used for the platform timer.

*''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special]]'': The comic "A Blast From The Past" is a loose adaptation of the game. 
*''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'': [[Big Ape City]] is, or at least is a reference to, [[Big-City]].
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': Many of Mario's moves return in this game.
*''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'': This game was originally planned to be a Game Boy Advance remake of the game, but ended up being a semi-sequel. As such, it uses all gameplay elements from the game, although it has a very different story.
*''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'': The slot machine minigame reappears.
*''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'': The characters can throw their hammers upward to take it back at an upper level, as in ''Donkey Kong'' for the Game Boy. Pauline's design is reused.
*''[[Super Mario Run]]'': The landing roll and [[backflip]] return.
*''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'': Donkey Kong's redesign for the film most closely resembles his appearance in ''Donkey Kong'' for the Game Boy, which was the last appearance of the classic look for Donkey Kong (which incidentally also features a necktie for the titular character) before the redesign that occurred with the original ''Donkey Kong Country''.

==Pre-release and unused content==
Early footage of the game was featured in a promotional tape sent to Nintendo retailers in late 1993 and early 1994.<ref>{{cite|author=Toad.T|date=January 30, 2014|url=youtu.be/siTeGPMIwpw?feature=shared&t=468|title=Service Center Update February 1994 (Featuring ''Super Metroid'' and ''Sound Fantasy'' Beta Footage!)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 27, 2024|language=en-us}}</ref> Differences include the sprites being closer to the original ''Donkey Kong'', the level timer starting at 999 instead of 100, and various different enemies and designs. Footage of a later build featuring a similar Donkey Kong with a tie and the final Pauline is included in a ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Previews LaserDisc used in store kiosks.<ref>{{cite|author=Hard4Games|date=August 15, 2020|url=youtu.be/SSMcg6R4mnQ?feature=shared&t=668|timestamp=11:08|title=Nintendo LaserDisc! <nowiki>|</nowiki> Nintendo Power Previews LaserDisc V7 Preservation|language=en-us|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 25, 2020}}</ref> ''Nintendo Power'' magazine shows additional differences, such as a world map having changes such as an early icon for Donkey Kong. At some point, a "Giant Squirrel", pictured below, was a boss that Mario had to fight. A noticeable difference, besides that Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. are normally the only bosses fought, is that the stage has a very basic layout that does not fit with the more puzzle-like layout of the other stages.

The game has been received positively overall. [https://www.nintendojo.com/ Nintendojo] named it one of the best Game Boy games ever made and rated it 9/10.

They praised the game for providing new surprises in each new world, which keep the player at a high degree of motivation, and also for its battery storage. They gave the game 90%.{{ref needed}} {{iw|wikipedia|IGN}} said that the game took the "classic design to new heights with fresh action and puzzle elements that faithfully retained the Donkey Kong arcade game's look and feel".

|9/10
|align="left"|"''First impressions can be misleading. With 101 stages, Donkey Kong for the Game Boy is far more than just a simple sequel to the arcade game. It adds a metric ton of new features, while still managing to keep the ‘arcadey’ feel of the original. The graphics and music are outstanding for a 1994 Game Boy title and the game itself is just incredibly fun to play, even if you do receive an over-abundance of extra lives. It may not be part of the ‘main’ Mario series, but this is easily one of the best Mario games ever made. At a price of $4, or £3.60 in the UK, it should be an essential download for everybody with a 3DS.''"

Now, whilst other companies do exactly the same, they do not have the same consistently AAA results that Nintendo manages to achieve time and time again. With Donkey Kong, the old crusty arcade version was dragged from the archives, brushed down then given a brand new lick of paint that left it so shiny that it still dazzles even today on the Virtual Console''"

==Notes==
*This is the first game, and so far the only one, to have Donkey Kong and son working together in order to get Pauline and defeat Mario.
**This is also the only game to have Donkey Kong Jr. as an antagonist.
*The [[Nintendo eShop]] description for this game erroneously states its release date was 6/1981, one month prior to the release date of the original ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game.{{ref needed}}
*This is the first game in which Donkey Kong is wearing a tie.
*This is the last major appearance of the original Donkey Kong; as of [[Donkey Kong Country|the next game]], he is a separate character called [[Cranky Kong]].
*The design used for Donkey Kong in this game is derived from a sketch drawn for the current Donkey Kong by Shigeru Miyamoto, whereas the sketch that actually established the character's current design was created by Rare.
