Donkey Kong Jr 5 Screw is the Arcade Classics Series cartridge of Nintendo's 1982 arcade sequel, in the early five-screw NES shell. Mario has locked up Donkey Kong, and his son climbs to the rescue. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The arcade original came out in 1982, the year after Donkey Kong. Nintendo R&D2 ported Donkey Kong Jr. to the NES, and Nintendo released it in North America in June 1986. It came out as part of the Arcade Classics Series, whose covers print "The Original!" above the title.
This game turns the first Donkey Kong around. Mario is the villain, and he holds Donkey Kong in a cage. You play as Donkey Kong Jr. He climbs vines, chains and ropes, and he can slide down quickly or climb faster as he moves.
There are four stages. Snapjaws chase you along the vines, and Nitpickers swoop in and drop eggs. In the last stage, Junior pushes six keys up into their locks to free his father. The NES ending was changed to show Mario falling.
Two players can share the game by taking turns. The A and B settings give newer players an easier start and experts a harder run.
Early NES cartridges are held together with five small slotted screws. Collectors file five-screw copies of Donkey Kong Jr. apart from later shells, which is why this cart has its own listing. The game on this Donkey Kong Jr five-screw cartridge is the same as on any other copy, with the same four stages and two difficulty settings. Look at the back of the cart in the photos to see the screws on your copy.
Our other Donkey Kong Jr. copy is listed as Donkey Kong Jr. (Arcade Classics). Pair it with The Original Donkey Kong or the Mario Bros. 5-screw cartridge. Browse all NES games, or read about Donkey Kong Jr. on Wikipedia.
