This arcade game was the first game to ever feature Mario, who was then known as Jump Man. He became Mario in the 1983 arcade hit Mario Bros, which is the first appearance of Luigi. Donkey Kong is also the first game to feature Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong kidnaps Mario's girlfriend Pauline, and Mario must save her. You have to go through 3(the arcade version had 4) levels and dodge barrels that are thrown at you by DK. There are other things to avoid like fireballs and more. Now, this game isn't that good. It's mediocre. It was great many years ago, but now, not so great. If you haven't played it, borrow it from a friend who has an NES, Atari, or Collecovision. It's also on GBA. Don't pay the 20 dollar price for the GBA version. Borrow, don't buy. I give this a 6 out of 10.
