In this game, [[Donkey Kong]] balances on a [[barrel]] while juggling [[pineapple]]s and avoiding the [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|fireballs]] falling from the [[Oil drum|drums]]. [[Mario]] watches his performance. Donkey Kong receives a [[point]] every time he catches a pineapple. If Donkey Kong loses a pineapple, Mario will laugh at him, resulting in a miss. If Donkey Kong manages to grasp a fireball, he will flail, which also counts as a miss. If Donkey Kong reaches 300 points without any misses, the points will be worth double until he does get a miss. If he has any misses at said score, every miss will be cleared instead. When he gets three misses, the player gets a [[Game Over]]. | In this game, [[Donkey Kong]] balances on a [[barrel]] while juggling [[pineapple]]s and avoiding the [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|fireballs]] falling from the [[Oil drum|drums]].
