In the ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game, jacks are constantly bouncing and dropping near [[Donkey Kong]] on [[75m]]. If [[Mario]] gets hit by a jack, he loses a life. Jacks do not appear in the ColecoVision and TI-99/4A ports of ''Donkey Kong'' due to technical limitations. However, they do return in the ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game port included in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' | In the ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game, jacks are constantly bouncing and dropping near [[Donkey Kong]] on [[75m]].

In the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)| | In the [[Game Boy]] [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|version]], jacks are now thrown by Donkey Kong instead of spawning from his position. Negating them with a [[handstand]] causes them to fall off-screen like most enemies and obstacles, instead of becoming usable like [[barrel]]s. | ||
