Description

The player (Junior) attempts to rescue Papa Donkey Kong after Mario finally catches him and throws him in a cage (beginning where the last game ended). The game can be classified as a platformer. Fruits hang in predictable locations, which can be knocked off to fall on enemies, killing them. The game has four levels; Vines, Springboard, Chains and Mario's Hideout (an electrified fortress featuring Sparks). Mario releases the enemies on each level to chase Junior away. After completing these four levels, the quest repeats with increased difficulty. Up to two players may play the game alternately.

The game's cabinet is a standard upright and its controls are simple; they consist of a joystick, two player select buttons, and a single jump button. Joystick elements: 1. ...
