Donkey Kong is a video game for the Game Boy that was released in 1994. It is a remake of the arcade classic Donkey Kong with extras.
Among added extras include the fact that Mario can pull off plenty of new attacks that were not possible in the original Donkey Kong game. He can triple jump, handstand, backflip, and hang and spin on wires.
Plot[]
The game starts out identically to the arcade/NES version, with Donkey Kong abducting Pauline and taking her to the top of a construction site with Mario in pursuit. However, after Mario sends the big ape crashing down in the fourth level, DK springs back into action and snags Pauline again. Now Mario has to chase him through 96 more levels across numerous settings.
