Gameplay Basics
In Donkey Kong Jr., you play as Donkey Kong Jr., also known as Junior or DK Jr. Your main goal is to rescue his father, Donkey Kong, who has been captured by Mario. Mario is usually the hero, but in this game, he is the bad guy!
How to Play
Players must guide DK Jr. through four different stages. Each stage has its own unique look and challenges. To move around, DK Jr. can climb up and down vines, chains, or ropes.
- If you hold onto only one vine, DK Jr. will go down faster.
- If you hold onto two vines, he will climb up faster.
You need to be careful! There are many enemies in each stage that DK Jr. must avoid. If an enemy touches him, you lose a life.
Completing Stages
The way you finish a stage changes depending on which one you are on:
- For the first three stages, DK Jr. needs to reach a key located at the very top of the screen.
- In the fourth and final stage, the challenge is different. DK Jr. must push six keys into special locks near the top of the stage.
Once you complete all four stages, the game starts over from the first stage. However, it becomes much more difficult, offering a new challenge for players!
