'''''Donkey Kong II''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] game released as part of the Multi Screen series on March 7, 1983.<ref | '''''Donkey Kong II''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] game released as part of the Multi Screen series on March 7, 1983.<ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/donkey_kong_ii.htm ''Donkey Kong II'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] Retrieved 13 November, 2010.</ref> It was later rereleased as part of ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''. It is an indirect sequel to the ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' Game & Watch game and a direct follow-up to ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. While ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' is based on the first level of the [[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|arcade game of the same name]], ''Donkey Kong II'' appears to be based on the [[Mario's Hideout|third]] and [[Chain Scene|fourth]] levels. This game and ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' are the only times where [[Mario]] has ever been portrayed as an antagonist. | ||

Donkey Kong is chained to the floor on the top of the upper screen by several locks. Donkey Kong Jr. must hit a [[key]] up to the top screen and then progress through the bottom screen, [[jump]]ing over [[Snapjaw]]s and [[Spark]]s much as Mario jumped over [[barrel]]s in ''Donkey Kong''. Every time Donkey Kong Jr. jumps over a Snapjaw or Spark, he receives a [[point]]. When he reaches the top screen, he must hit the key right next to one of the locks, avoiding [[Nitpicker|bird]]s along the way, then climb up the chain that trails below the lock. Once he reaches the top, he uses the key to open the lock, earning from five to fifteen points depending on how fast he does the job. Then, he must progress back down to the bottom to hit a new key up, and so on. When Donkey Kong Jr. opens all four locks, he frees Donkey Kong, awarding the player 20 points. If Donkey Kong Jr., after opening a lock, has no misses when he returns to the starting position and throws up a key, he | Donkey Kong is chained to the floor on the top of the upper screen by several locks.

If Donkey Kong Jr., after opening a lock, has no misses when he returns to the starting position and throws up a key, he will earn five points. If a Snapjaw, bird, or Spark hits Donkey Kong Jr., he loses a life, and the key returns to the starting position. If Donkey Kong Jr. 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, he will receive an [[extra life]] instead. The [[Game Over|game ends]] when he loses three lives. | ||
In Game A, the Snapjaws and birds on the upper screen disappear when Donkey Kong Jr. places the first key into the lock, with only the bird in the upper left corner and the Snapjaw in the lower right corner remaining. In Game B, however, the Snapjaws and birds remain when Donkey Kong Jr. places a key into the lock, making it more difficult for him to return. | In Game A, the Snapjaws and birds on the upper screen disappear when Donkey Kong Jr. places the first key into the lock, with only the bird in the upper left corner and the Snapjaw in the lower right corner remaining.
