Pretty awesome coverage of the evolution of Mario rescuing Pauline. Thanks! Harris Shore, the original live-action Mario from the Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior commercials, circa 1981.
Although the arcade is the canon one, the original Game Boy one definitely did it best, as that really should how strong Donkey Kong is. After all, he can fight Bowser head-on!
In Arcade, Donkey Kong Got His Head Bumped. And With Nintendo Entertainment System, Donkey Kong Is Moving Without Bumping The Head And With Atari 8-Bit, This Game Was A Playsoft Without The Dot Eyes. And Last One, In Atari 7800, Donkey Kong Copied With Nintendo Entertainment System Donkey Kong
Although my first home experience with DK was on a friend's Atari 800 XL (preferred Popeye), I have played it for about 40 years on a TI-99/4A, so that music for Pauline's save, although mono-tonal, is the one that just sounds right to my ears now. It should be noted that if Atartisoft would have played ball with TI over licensing, they could have had a Grom in the cart, which would have removed the 8K cart restriction providing memory for fire on level 1, springs on level 3, an animated DK, and multi timbral-sound. None of these omissions are because of hardware limitations. With Atarisoft, we get what we get from an unauthorized developer. A game squeezed into 8K. So I'm thankful for what we DID get (and we did get all 4 levels - most didn't). But even on the TI, I still prefer Popeye.
You missed a couple more gameboy deaths btw so I’ll list them down here: - Normal (ex: getting hit by a barrel in midair) - Electrocution (ex: the dangerous power lines) - Drowning (getting hit by and enemy while in the water) - Squished sideways (ex: getting pushed into a wall by an enemy) - Falling (falling from a very high place) - DK (touching Donkey Kong) Hope this helps!
Actually it's a completely different game commonly called Donkey Kong 94'. There are many more stages after this that's why, only the first four levels are same like the original arcade version. I have only included it for the sake of comparison. Learn more about the game here:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_Kong_(1994_video_game)?wprov=sfti1
As somebody who plays Donkey Kong on the NES, I’m glad they gave donkey Kong a new defeat animation when he reaches the bottom, it’s better than the head stand he would do in the other ports, but I understand why, mainly because of the limitations.
everyone talking bout the gb but can we all agree that the amstrad cpc proved that the system was not as primitive as people though. an example is the mario bros port on the amstrad.
...and yet, with a bit of work, the Amstrad CPC port could have been a better port, and ditto for the NES/FDS port of the game as well. Hell, it took Nintendo almost 40 years to FINALLY fix a lot of issues with the NES/FDS port with a new re-release of that game, but they never even bothered to make a new cartridge form of it as well...oh well, at least the modding and aftermarket/custom communities can rectify that problem.
The Vic 20 gave a new falling animation as instead of all 4 bridges connected to the rivets and released without them, Donkey Kong falls down 1 bridge at a time instead of falling straight down to the collapsed bridge and dies to brain damage
There is a whole grand rabbit hole of game music and songs they tried to interpret or took inspiration from or just happen to sound similar. Megaman and Doom are interesting places to start

The original Donkey Kong (Cranky Kong) was Mario's pet. After Mario got a girlfriend, Donkey Kong doesn't get much attention from Mario. Donkey Kong kidnapped Mario's girlfriend because he was jealous of her and wanted to play a prank. Donkey wanted Mario to play with him. Is this setting remembered by them?
@@Retromantra You have been reading that Cranky Kong Biography story. Glad to see you knew about it. Donkey Kong JR, Donkey Kong (Cranky Kong) son game. It's a story about a son trying to save his father from being put in a cage by Mario (is he trying to train him?) . It's not a tussle, they even have fun playing together! 「Donkey Kong Jr. NES」

Es igual la película de King Kong como Los monstruos de Frankenstein
When donkey KONG fell down and bumps his head
Who says it's not canon? after all, even in the arcade don't you just loop again from that blue girder stage to the bottom of the building?
I only think it’s canon if the console was made by Nintendo

Popeye and DK were great on the TI but for example Burger Time was horrendous. The music restarting whenever another sound effect played, so grating!
2:19 I wish that animation was the "defeating donkey kong" scene in all consoles
I like how this dude (donkey kong) doesn't die in the texas instruments part but mario saves pauline
Agreed
The Texas instruments had graphical limits
3:11 why is the ZX spectrum one sounds like the MSX?
You missed a couple more gameboy deaths btw so I’ll list them down here:

This have rhythm of dance...in that ending...because it hears like a Electroswing :)
LOL, I can’t get over how good this is!
3:00 This is when the ZX Spectrum version supposed to sound like this.
But it doesn't actually sound like that.
it sounded like a musical telephone

Unless when it runs in 128k.

The NES and Atari 7800 versions are the best as they actually bothered to animate DK's arms as he landed.

It was an excellent and powerful system.
The amstrad port was a result of a crappy Spectrum port

The GameBoy versions are my favorite! The dos one brings back memories... Not sure if they are good memories but yeah definitely memories! 🤷
Yeah! I feel you bro. Even emulating Dos games properly today is a pain🤣🤣
Yes
Put this 1,5x video where I left off 2:41
3:26 the end🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
if u dont mind me asking why does the zx spectrum have msx sounds?
The Vic 20 gave a new falling animation as instead of all 4 bridges connected to the rivets and released without them, Donkey Kong falls down 1 bridge at a time instead of falling straight down to the collapsed bridge and dies to brain damage
In Some Versions, Donkey Kong looks like an Alien until he falls.
Like the atari7800
How Did You Get The MSX Sound Effects Version Of Donkey Kong To The ZX Spectrum?
There were 2 revisions of the ZX Spectrum version, the first one had the horrible beeper sounds and the second had the MSX music.
128k?
@@HeitorMD Correct.
The GB one I think is the best but so is the Arcade one and Nes one
i like your content, you cool
Thanks
@@Retromantra urw;)
pauline says thank you.
I get the biggest kick out of the fact that the game sometimes plays the main riff of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" at this point.
There is a whole grand rabbit hole of game music and songs they tried to interpret or took inspiration from or just happen to sound similar. Megaman and Doom are interesting places to start
Some arcade games like Pengo outright took music without license and were released with changed music. Fewer cares were given about copyright then.

Which one do you think is better?
Personally I love the original Arcade version.
The Texas Instruments donkey Kong when Mario knocked out the last rivet, Donkey Kong did not fall
Arcade: followed the instructions and passed
NES: also followed the instructions and passed
C64 Ocean: Copied Arcade’s homework but changed some stuff (passed too)
C64 Atarisoft: Tried to do the minimum (passed)
ColecoVision and Adam: Copied Arcade’s homework but changed some stuff (2nd place)
Texas Instruments: Did the bare minimum (passed)
Atari 7800: Tried to do its best: (passed)
Atari 8-BIT: Copied Most of ColecoVision’s Homework (passed)
Apple II: Copied most of Arcade’s homework but failed
VIC-20: Copied most of Atari 7800’s Homework but made some improvements
IBM: Copied Apple II’s Homework (yes, ibm did fail but at least Apple II tried)
the vic 20 one was surprisingly good considering it's vic 20
The Apple II and IBM versions must occur on a planet with weaker gravity.
No it because the computer 's video board and soundchip
0:57 Very Old
VIC-20 has the best animation and music. You guys tell me which is your favorite!
I got my nes for my birthday
You forgot the GW. Pauline is rescued there, too.
Yes, I guess I did.
