Donkey Kong Junior

Donkey Kong Jr., developed by CBS Electronics and Coleco Industries, brings the classic arcade action to the Intellivision game console, delivering a thrilling sequel to the original Donkey Kong. Released in arcades in 1982, Donkey Kong Jr. puts players in the role of Junior, Donkey Kong’s son, on a daring mission to rescue his father from none other than Mario, who has captured Donkey Kong and locked him in a cage. In this unique twist, Mario is the antagonist, using every trick in the book to prevent Junior from reaching his father.

In Donkey Kong Jr., players must navigate through four distinctive levels—Vines, Springboard, Chains, and Mario’s Hideout—each filled with unique obstacles and enemies. Junior must find and collect keys to unlock the cage and free his father while avoiding the dangers sent by Mario, including Snapjaws, swooping purple birds, and electric sparks. These enemies make each level a new challenge, testing players' timing, platforming skills, and strategy.

Junior isn’t completely helpless, though. Scattered throughout each level are pieces of fruit that can be dropped on enemies' heads to eliminate them. The more foes Junior hits in a single fruit drop, the higher the bonus points earned. This mechanic adds a strategic layer to the gameplay, encouraging players to time their attacks and maximize their score.

The Intellivision version of Donkey Kong Jr. captures the spirit of the arcade classic with its vibrant visuals and engaging gameplay. Fans of the original arcade version will appreciate the faithful adaptation, while newcomers will find themselves immersed in the exciting action of one of Nintendo’s most iconic early franchises.

With its memorable levels, fast-paced action, and unique twist on the traditional Donkey Kong storyline, Donkey Kong Jr. remains a timeless classic that challenges players to rescue Donkey Kong and outsmart Mario’s traps. Whether you’re a retro gaming enthusiast or just discovering the charm of early arcade titles, Donkey Kong Jr. on Intellivision offers an engaging and nostalgic experience that’s not to be missed.
