SAVE THE BIG APE

Mario has gone stark raving bonkers and locked your lovable father, Donkey Kong, in a cage. You must steal the keys to the cage from that tyrant Mario, and set your papa free. But it's not so easy> Mario lays tough. This off-the-wall monkey business will have you going bananas.

GAME PLAY: The jungle is full of vines and chains to climb on but watch out for the ape-eating Snapjaws, Nitpickers, and Sparks as you work your way to the key that will unlock the way to freedom for your father. Moving islands and springboards increase the challenge. Be careful! Watch your footing! Try to pick some fruit along the way to get extra points. Or use it to bonk the pesky critters below for even more points. Clear the fourth and most difficult round of this jungle adventure and Donkey Kong is free at last.

Junior’s Revenge

Remember in Donkey Kong how Mario fought Papa Donkey Kong? Well, Mario won. Now he has Papa locked up like an animal in a cage. Only you, Donkey Kong Junior can save Papa. You have to reach that special key to unlock the cage. But Mario has other ideas.

As you nimbly climb trees and gracefully swing across vines towards your goal, Mario sends jaw-snapping creatures after you. You earn extra points by plucking fruit to bonk them. When you have won your first challenge, another scene appears with even greater attacks. And the fourth level is the most difficult of all.

You can do it because you’re a chimp off the old block.

THE AGONY OF THE CAPTURE. THE SUSPENSE OF THE CHASE. THE THRILL OF THE RESCUE. WITH DONKEY KONG JUNIOR™

SEE! DONKEY KONG IMPRISONED!

SEE! DOOM-DEFYING JUNGLE ACTION!

SEE! THE CHASE TO MARIO'S HIDEOUT!

CAN THE SON of DONKEY KONG SAVE HIS PAPA FROM LITTLE MARIO'S IMPENETRABLE PRISON?

FATE HAS TURNED THE TABLES ON THE INIMITABLE DONKEY KONG.

After Mario saved the Beautiful Girl from the lustful clutches of Donkey Kong, he lead the brokenhearted ape into captivity, locking him behind steel bars, never again to strut his stuff before the fair maidens of the world.

As the frustration of confinement enrages Donkey Kong, Mario complacently stands guard over the cell, holding the sought after key to freedom.

But wait! Unbeknownst to Little Mario, Donkey Kong has produced an offspring – Donkey Kong Junior! A death-defying little monkey, shrewd and cunning, who resists all enemies to rescue Papa Donkey Kong.

As Mario’s brigade of snapping jaws, ape-eating birds and energy pods launch their offensive, Junior bombards them with a fusillade of Fruit Bombs that aim to annihilate his every foe.

Mario, beware of Donkey Kong Junior. He’s crafty. He’s fearless. He jumps in four different directions. Watch how Junior strategically maneuvers his way to the top at high speeds. How he wrests the key away from Mario. The key that gives Papa the freedom to once again beat his chest and chase girls! With Donkey Kong Junior not far behind.

Donkey Kong Junior offers the most exciting sound effects, visual imagery and challenging playboards. If you loved the original Donkey Kong, you’ll go positively ape over Donkey Kong Junior!
