About Donkey Kong Classics
Step back into the golden era of gaming with Donkey Kong Classics. This retro collection for the NES, released by Nintendo in 1988, combines two of the most legendary arcade titles: Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.. With its roots in classic cartoon-like visuals, this game paved the way for platforming brilliance.
In Donkey Kong, you step into Mario's shoes as he ascends construction sites, skillfully dodging barrels and outsmarting fireballs to save Pauline from the clutches of Donkey Kong. The story flips in Donkey Kong Jr., where you take on the role of Donkey Kong’s son, climbing vines and braving electrified traps to rescue your captured father from Mario.
Designed with simplicity and charm, Donkey Kong Classics encapsulates the raw excitement of arcade gaming. With straightforward controls and clear-cut objectives, each level challenges your timing and precision in a way that's both engaging and rewarding. It’s a love letter to retro cartoon-style games and an enduring piece of gaming history.
How To Play
Donkey Kong Classics invites you to relive two different adventures, each offering unique challenges and gameplay styles.

This mode flips the platforming formula by focusing on vertical movement and careful positioning. Take control of Donkey Kong Jr. as you climb vines and chains, all while avoiding electrified obstacles and roaming enemies.
