Donkey Kong was Nintendo's first big hit in America. It also marked the first appearances of Mario and Donkey Kong.
In this game, Donkey Kong had kidnapped Mario's girlfriend, Pauline. As Mario, your job was to get past Donkey Kong's obstacles to save Pauline.
When the game was first released, the hero was simply known as Jumpman and was a carpenter. Jumpman was later changed to Mario, supposedly because of a resemblance to Nintendo's landlord.
The game sold well and is considered a classic among classic game enthuasists. It is one of four to the Nintendo Hall of Fame!
