Donkey Kong is a Game Boy game which starts out with the premise of being a straight remake of the original Donkey Kong arcade game. Although at first it appears to be just a port, the familiar levels from the arcade game are just a prelude to the real platform jumping adventure. There are 96 levels spread out over 12 worlds. These levels are much more complex than the originals, featuring scrolling backgrounds, numerous objects to collect, and enemies to avoid. Along the way, you will encounter several boss style battles with Donkey Kong, as well. When played on a Super Game Boy, the game is colorized, digitized speech is added and the ending music takes advantage of the SNES sound chip.

Finally got around to playing this game. I've seen it played in numerous streams, and everyone that played it spoke highly of it. My experience with this sort of title actually came from a GBA game called Mario vs Donkey Kong, and while that game features gameplay similar to what's here, it's also different so that it stands out on its own. Namely these special panels that you collect to affect the areas around you (form ladders, pathways, spawn a spring). Overall, I enjoyed this game. I can see why it lives up to the hype

Donkey Kong sur Game Boy… C’est un de ces jeux qui reste gravé dans ma mémoire comme un pur moment de plaisir vidéoludique. Je me rappelle encore avoir passé des heures à tenter de sauver Pauline, à travers une série de niveaux de plus en plus difficiles. Ce jeu, bien qu'il reprenne la base du classique arcade, apportait une nouvelle dimension avec des niveaux à traverser, des plateformes à franchir et des énigmes à résoudre. Il y avait quelque chose de particulier dans cette version de Donkey Kong : je me sentais à la fois défié et accompli. Chaque niveau semblait plus ardu que le précédent, mais j'avais cette sensation d’être capable de tout surmonter, comme un vrai gamer en pleine ascension. J'étais tellement accro que je l’ai joué encore et encore, perfectionnant mes réflexes et mes stratégies.

Quase 100 fases e nao me enjoei de jogar, joguei feito doente tudo de uma vez e foi divertido cada mapa parece unico, alguns mapas tem puzzle e eu fiquei preso por um tempo kkkkkk, mas nao por conta da dificuldade do puzzle e sim que eu sou devagar pra esse tipo de coisa.. . acho que essa é a melhor versao desse dk classico e vale demais ser visitado até pra quem nao é tao retrozeiro pois o jogo te enche de vidas é bem dificil tomar game over aqui, o jogo tem save entao nao precisa ser doente igual eu e jogar tudo de uma vez.¨ acho que depois desse jogo eles tiveram a ideia pra criar o jogo do mario vs donkey kong que inclusive eu nunca nem joguei 😀 bossfight final é mto top fiquei surpreso *joguei emulando

One of my favorite puzzle games, and one of the best games on the Gameboy. Beating Donkey Kong is extremely satisfying. This game is extremely user-friendly with progression.

20% stream - https://youtu.be/4jrWiklqaVk?list=PLqZXgW7Io3AvfBGZf262IcEMmDScpQVt5&t=3807 In my opinion the best game of the Gameboy library. It builds so much upon what had come before while also introducing new concepts to be used in future games. They went all out with the puzzles, music, and callbacks to series past. Still a treat to play 30 years later.
