Information AboutDonkey Kong (game Boy) |
''Donkey Kong'' is a 1994 Game Boy Remake of the Arcade Game Of The Same Name . The game is also known by the informal title of '''''Donkey Kong '94''''' (based on its release date) for disambiguation purposes. It has little relation to the similarly titled '' Donkey Kong 64 '', released several years later. Like in the original arcade and NES version, the player takes control of Mario and must rescue Pauline from Donkey Kong (who are both given updated character designs for this game). Donkey Kong Jr. also appears in the game and serves as a hindrance to Mario's progress. GAMEPLAY ''Donkey Kong 94'' begins with the four levels found in the original arcades, but with enhanced Graphics and play mechanics. Like in the original, the player's goal in these stages is to reach Pauline, who is in top of the structure. After these four initial stages are completed, the player is presented with 97 additional stages spanning nine worlds, for a total of 101 stages. The subsequent levels follow a completely different format in which the player must guide Mario through each level to locate a key. He must pick it up and carry it to the end to unlock the door to the next stage. On every fourth level, the player must confront Donkey Kong himself and reach Pauline, like in the original levels. After the fourth level is cleared, a short Cutscene is shown depicting a player's abilities that may be needed for the upcoming levels, or to introduce new kinds of traps. At this point, the player is allowed to save their progress, including their clear time for each level or for the total set. At the final level of each world, the player must fight back at Donkey Kong and find a way to throw his barrels back at him. It usually takes three barrels to defeat Donkey Kong and proceed to the next world. There are also bonus stages that are accessible only by recovering each of Pauline's accessories (a hat, a purse and a parasol) on each of the regular levels. During these bonus stages, the player can gain additional lives by playing either: a Slot Machine or a Roulette wheel. MISCELLANEOUS border used in the game was based on the actual arcade cabinet of the original '' Donkey Kong '']]
