The Donkey Kong Jr NES game is Nintendo's port of its 1982 arcade sequel, in which Donkey Kong's son sets out to free his father from Mario. It was released for the NES in North America in June 1986 as part of the Arcade Classics Series. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
This game flips the roles of the original. Mario is the villain and holds Donkey Kong captive. You play as Donkey Kong Jr., who climbs vines, chains and ropes to reach him. He can slide down quickly or climb faster as he moves through each stage.
There are four stages. Enemies include Snapjaws and Nitpickers, and Nitpickers can drop eggs on you. In the fourth stage, Junior pushes six keys up into their locks to free his father.
Nintendo R&D2 handled the NES port. Two players can take turns. The ending was changed for the NES, where it shows Mario falling to his apparent death.
Donkey Kong Jr. was one of the games Nintendo grouped as the Arcade Classics Series outside Japan in 1986. Covers in the series print "The Original!" in cursive above the title. The NES ports in the series offer two difficulty settings, A for beginners and B for experts. Our store carries more than one Donkey Kong Jr. listing, so check the photos for the exact cartridge.

Performance
I was a little slow to start because I don’t think it was making good contact. I did n’t know it if was the game or the new console I had recently purchase.
However, with a little cleaning and shaking I have gotten it going and it is great fun.

hm idea! please reissue games too not only consoles?
I like the game but not the fact Nintendo/super nes doesn’t reissue these classics more, because they are getting hard to find and to find affordable if everyone is finghting over few rare copies out there right and only consoles are reissued, why not games too I say-if better ones at least please? I would like this one and super Mario 1 and 3 and super Mario world and super Mario kart and rainbow islands kirby etc etc
