In the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy version]], jacks are 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. | In the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy version]], jacks are thrown by Donkey Kong instead of spawning from his position.

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', jacks appear in B2 in [[DK's Hideout]], where they have spikes on their top and bottom sides as a visual indicator of their harmfulness. They act identically to their appearance in ''Donkey Kong'', spawning from Donkey Kong's position and bouncing towards the [[girder]] structure below. If a [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] without a shield comes into contact with a jack, the Mini Mario breaks. | |||

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', jacks are a hazard in [[75 m (stage)|75 m]]. The sprite of Donkey Kong at the top of the screen periodically activates, and when that happens, jacks bounce from the left, acting in much the same manner as the original version. In ''Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'', the Ω form of the stage does not feature jacks, and in the latter, jacks as well as other stage elements more closely resemble the arcade version instead of the NES version. | |||
