There are eight difficulty levels, each containing the [[25m|Ramps screen]] and [[100m|Rivets screen]],<ref name=1984catalog/> which must be completed before the [[Time Limit]]. The player starts off with three lives. | |||
In the Ramps screen, Mario must reach the top of the screen to [[Pauline|his girlfriend]] by using [[ladder]]s while dodging the [[barrel]]s thrown at him by [[Donkey Kong]]. There is a [[hammer]] on the third floor, but it only awards [[point]]s. Donkey Kong is standing on an electric fence. Mario can run under it but not jump through it. | |||
In the Rivets screen, Mario has to remove ten [[Bolt (object)|rivets]] while avoiding [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|fireballs]]. He simply needs to walk over a rivet to remove it, but this leaves a gap that he has to jump over if he needs to reverse direction. He can collect the hammer and his girlfriend's [[Pauline's lost items|hat, purse, or umbrella]] for extra points. After the last rivet has been removed, the game starts over at a higher difficulty. The game repeats itself at max difficulty until [[Game Over|all lives are lost]]. The game saves the highest score. | |||
