Donkey Kong Circus is a Game & Watch title released as part of the Panorama series on September 1, 1984.
Story
Donkey Kong has been captured by Mario from his home and forced to put on a circus show to entertain the masses.
Gameplay
In this game, Mario has to control Donkey Kong's actions by making him balance on a barrel while juggling pineapples and avoiding deadly flames.
Trivia
- This is one of the few Game & Watch units to feature full color. This was actually due to Gunpei Yokoi's idea to move the background around the characters instead of vice-versa.
- This game features identical gameplay to Micky Mouse, which was released seven months earlier.
