@@rabidanimal233 How did you know Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong I? How did you know Donkey Kong Jr. is Donkey Kong II? And How did you know Donkey Kong is Donkey Kong III? The REAL DK who is the third with a red tie on that has "DK" WAS Donkey Kong Jr's REAL father, and by the way: Donkey Kong Jr, the second WAS DK III's REAL son.
For its time, this was the Terminator 2 of video games. Donkey Kong went from being the bad guy to the good guy, and Mario went from being the good guy, to the bad guy.
I share the opinion; though not as iconic as the original, I find the climbing and fruit mechanics more interesting than just jumping over whatever hazards present themselves with the occasional hammer that disables your ability to climb ladders until it runs out. Though if you want the definitive Donkey Kong arcade experience, you play the Game Boy classic, Donkey Kong ‘94! It contains the four arcade levels from DK, though it ends up becoming a puzzle platformer with over a hundred levels new moves for Mario, an excellent soundtrack, and honestly, Donkey Kong ‘94 is just simply one of the best Game Boy games of all time!
The only official game where Mario is the antagonist, and the fact that he tried to electrocute a baby ape is probably more disturbing than anything Bowser has done.
@@TheSuperPlayer707 I said *probably,* this franchise does have over 200 games after all. And besides, I don't think Bowser have ever specifically gone after children, which is mostly what I meant.
@@cirnosnumberfan6449 yes, but going after hundreds of people, to me, definitely it's more concerning than going after a kid. I mean, even in the movie he's explicitly going to commit a ritual genocide in his marriage.
@@TheSuperPlayer707 Actually, wasn't his intention simply to destroy Peach's property? Whenever Bowser is about to commit "genocide" I think his intentions are mostly just to destroy the property to take over, Bowser just doesn't care who's in the way, which is why it would seem like he's also trying to kill the people, but in reality, he probably doesn't really care about them. Take Bowser's attack on the penguins in the movie for example, he could've kill all those penguins, but instead he just takes them in as prisoners after destroying their land. I think that's pretty much what's portrayed in the games as well.
That ending scene was simple, but totally satisfying. Unlike all too many modern game endings, which have to be edgy or ambiguous, or just downright depressing.
I find it to be a foolish attack against Mario Cuomo, whose legal cases in the early 1970s proved there was too great of Italian discrimination in New York alone. Nintendo somehow made Mario a good guy again after the elder Cuomo won election as Governor. Japan does seem to get too much more media love than lower Italy-where almost all Italian-Americans migrated from- does. We need better recognition of the high level of Italian-American poverty.
Mario saved Pauline from Donkey Kong. Then Pauline and Mario broke up, which made Mario mad and made Mario go after Donkey Kong. Then Donkey Kong Jr comes to the rescue.
I spent so much time and money mastering this game and I have so many memories of the arcades, all the lights and sounds. Such great times, especially compared to what garbage is going on now.
Toad: "Hey, Mario! Is it true that you were a villain once?" Mario: "We-a...don't-a talk about that around here-a." Cranky Kong: "Oh yes we do, sonny! Grab some popcorn, mushroom boy, and sit on that rocking chair right there; you're gonna hear all about that time when the good old days were bad for me!" Cue 0:00.
Interesting game about morals. Mario did the right thing and saved his girl from the gorilla and locked him up. Not for sadistic reasons, but because donkey long was too dangerous to be left free. Then you have dk Jr trying to save his father, unaware of his crimes and sees Mario as cruel when he really isn't. He is just doing what he must.
@@TheSuperPlayer707 So the evil DK is that old Cranky Kong and the heroic DK we see since Donkey Kong Country is the grown up junior I like Nintendo's retcon
I like how donkey Kong 94 has a role reversal stage where you play the final level of DK jr but instead of freeing DK from a cage you trap DK jr in a cage!
On the topic of lore, what has me the most curious is how did Mario end up forgiving Donkey Kong I (who is now Cranky Kong) for kidnapping Pauline and how did Donkey Kong II (who is the modern Donkey Kong we know and love today) forgive Mario for kidnapping his father? I mean, you would think that Mario and the Kong family/clan would have constant beef and be mortal enemies for a good while, but no. Soon later, they are friends now as implied in games where Mario and DK (and sometimes even his friends Diddy, Dixie, etc.) show up together such as Mario Party, Mario Kart, Smash Bros., etc. Heck, even in some mainline games it is implied that they are in good terms now. The only time they ever gotten back to their deadly rivalry was in the Mario vs Donkey Kong series, but even then at the end of some of those games, they forgive each other and made up for the trouble they gave each other. As glad as I am that Donkey Kong has now become a more friendlier face in the Mario universe, I do wonder why they retconned, or not retconned, more like rewrote the rivalry between Mario and Donkey Kong. I guess the Mario universe wasn't big enough for two or more rivals for Mario since Bowser has taken the spot now, and they decided to now make Mario and Donkey Kong friends. Same thing happened with Wario. It started off as mortal enemies, now Mario and Wario don't really have as much beef as they had at first, if not at all. This is something that has been keeping me up for some nights now. I need to know now. What lead to this deadly rivalry between Mario and DK to suddenly become a friendship? What would Cranky (DK I) think of his son being friends with the man who kidnapped him and maybe even tried to kill him? What would Mario think of DK II being the son of the animal who kidnapped his first love interest? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!! This couldn't have just happened out of the blue! Surely something must have happened behind the scenes where Mario and DK had some sort of peace treaty or a truce at the very least. I don't know, and I want to know as soon as possible. And now! You got the upcoming Super Mario movie where we saw Mario and Donkey Kong fighting at the beginning of the trailer, and then at the very end of the trailer we see DK and Mario riding along in their own karts into the sunset along with other Mario characters of course. Well, at least I can hope that the movie will at least provide some sort of answer to this sudden change of heart between those two about each other. Guess I'll just have to wait.
Actually, it all falls together if you played Donkey Kong 94 on the Game Boy. DK Jr. is actually the prequel, where Mario kidnapped DK first to be in his circus, so DK kidnaps Pauline in retaliation. There's a big long chase, Mario ends up saving DKs life at the end, and it turns out that's how Mario discovered the Mushroom Kingdom.
@@mccloaker I think that after mario abused DK in the circus, donkey kidnaped Pauline in some sort of revenge, after mario rescued her, he locked up DK because he was savage or something, and dk junior (i dont know if dk junior was actual donkey Kong, or his father) saves donkey and defeats mario. I think that after that Mario realized that everything he was doing was wrong, he became nowdays mario, but dk wanted revenge because mario locked him up, so he kidnaps pauline again in dk for the gameboy, and after mario defeated donkey once again, he ended up in good terms with dk and dk junior, and while dk becomes cranky kong and ends up in the kong island, mario and pauline break up because all the things that happened , but they're still in good terms. Mario gets a new work as a plumber witg luigi and while dealing turtles and more enemies, they ended up crossing one pipe and they end up in the mushroom kingdom, the brothers are so amazed with that fantasy world that they decided to live in there, leading to the first super mario bros events. That's my opinion on how this all happened.
It's funny that in this version, after Mario falls down when you beat level 4, he just gets kicked by Donkey Kong and then runs away like a little bitch, but in the NES version, Mario dies and has a halo over his head.
I like how DKC2 references this game, having DK get captured by the badguys and when you save him he delivers a knockout punch to the final boss, and they also incorporate the two handed climb.
handsomebrick Ever noticed how in DKC 2 and 3, you don’t actually play as Donkey Kong. Why would DKC3 even go to the trouble of introducing a new character when they could of had Donkey and Dixie rescue Diddy? Why are they two games with Donkey Kong in the title when he spends both of them in captivity?!
@@mixwidman5458 I'm thinking they wanted to capitalize on the success they had from the second game by leaving DK out again, but we all know how that worked out.
So Mario takes revenge on Donkey Kong for kidnapping the love of his life and his son has to rescue him. Honesty I never heard of this game and I'm a huge video game addict.
I remember on the second phase when you would jump on that purple spring and hit the jump button repeatedly a bunch of times, it would make you jump way higher.
Interesting game! With the jungle and the platforms, this game seems a step further in the direction of Donkey Kong Country. Also, the way Donkey Kong Jr. climbs between two ropes at once is a lot like the way Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong climb between two ropes at once in levels like "Topsail Trouble" in Donkey Kong Country 2. Does anyone else notice that?
The red creatures resemble klap traps as well. RARE took a few things from this game and implemented them into the DKC trilogy thats forsure. Diddy Kong actually started out as DK Jr. Nintendo didnt like the redesign and wanted RARE to make him a separate character, so they changed his name to Diddy Kong
@@chrisbeach423 Uhhh...except the way the OP worded his comment, it DOESN'T say that. Saying this game was a step in the direction of something that came out a decade and a half later is ridiculous.
@@FUGP72 I think that’s a perfectly reasonable thing for ‘em to say, actually. Certainly it wouldn’t be a crime for someone to say King Kong vs Godzilla was a step towards the goofier vibe that movies like All Monsters Attack would embrace, yeah?
It is pretty interesting how bassicaly everyone says that Luigi's first apparition was in Mario Bros. in 1983 and really forgets that little one detail in the intro of this game (1982) which you can see Mario pushing DK's cage and *another man helping him who wears like him and can be Luigi*. Even Nintendo really didn't care about it because the Year of Luigi was in 2013 and in theory had to be in 2012.
Mario made more sense when he was just a guy who did odd jobs: rescuing his girlfriend from a giant gorilla and then trying to capture the gorilla for profit, doing construction, cleaning sewers, refereeing sports events. Then after Super Mario Bros. he got typecast as a knight-errant who wears overalls and has go-kart races with his enemies, it's just insanity.
5:28 What is Donkey Kong saying? Here are my thoughts.: “Thank you son!” “Hey! I’m free!” “Now I’m free!” “You saved me!” “Thanks a lot!” “Goodbye cage!” “I’m so glad!” “I feel good!”
5:28 Donkey Kong: I'm free I'm free thank you son now daddy it's going to cause more chaos than ever I'm planning on breaking into a flower shop and release an army of Bees
The ending is perfect! XD Also proves Jumpman DID in fact, survive that fall, (the alternate ending on the NES was due to graphical limitations), got his ass whooped, and ran away like the pussy he is! XD
The landing after a jump sound is different than I remember in the arcade version. Awesome game. Did Nintendo ever release the arcade version for a modern console?

If Nintendo can bring back Pauline in M🆚️DK 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Super Mario Odessey They can do the same with Donkey Kong Jr. Nintendo please bring back Donkey Kong Jr, I grew up with this character.. he is my childhood
Donkey Kong Jr (16 Bit) got added as a racer in Mario Kart Tour during the Super Mario Kart tour a few weeks ago. During that tour, you could obtain him through pipe pulls. At this time, you can no longer obtain him since the tour has ended.
0:02 THAT'S HOW THERE CAN BE SO MANY MARIO GAMES THAT PROBABLY HAVE A HARDER TO FIGURE OUT TIMELINE THE THE LEGEND OF ZELDA! THERE'S MORE THAN ONE MARIO! There's probably a bunch of Luigis, and Princess Peaches too!
There is a bug where you put it in two player mode and then jump into the water at just the right time when player 2 comes up. The timing is tricky, but if you do it right you can keep playing and you keep going back to the first level as player one. It is nearly impossible to get through level 4 doing it the regular way, the red snap jaws regenerate and the birds are thick. This makes it fun ... you never even have to get to level 3 let alone get past four!
The only game where Mario was a villain. People in the replies: shut up about theories, they’re theories, not canon. I know about Mario killing Goombas, Sacrificing Yoshi, etc. Those are what the player MAKES him do.
I can't believe PopEye went from eating spinach, to jumping over barrels, to locking Cranky Kong in a cage only to have...Donkey Kong's father...? Is that his name? Save him!
This brings back such fond memories. I'll never forget playing it at a skating rink and one of my classmates came up to me and said some hot girl wanted to couple skate with me and I let him take over the game and I did couple skate with her and we dated for 3 years. This game reminds me of her.
Classic game follows the original donkey kong, while Mario goes and rescues the maiden. In this one is vice versa, kong is captured and is rescued by his son. It should be called “Mario’s revenge “

Also, the way Donkey Kong Jr. climbs between two ropes at once is a lot like the way Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong climb between two ropes at once in levels like "Topsail Trouble" in Donkey Kong Country 2. Does anyone else notice that?
I mean...you know this game came first, right? As in MUCH earlier?
@@FUGP72 i think that’s pretty clear 😂 thanks Captain Obvious
The red creatures resemble klap traps as well. RARE took a few things from this game and implemented them into the DKC trilogy thats forsure. Diddy Kong actually started out as DK Jr. Nintendo didnt like the redesign and wanted RARE to make him a separate character, so they changed his name to Diddy Kong
@@chrisbeach423 Uhhh...except the way the OP worded his comment, it DOESN'T say that. Saying this game was a step in the direction of something that came out a decade and a half later is ridiculous.
@@FUGP72 I think that’s a perfectly reasonable thing for ‘em to say, actually. Certainly it wouldn’t be a crime for someone to say King Kong vs Godzilla was a step towards the goofier vibe that movies like All Monsters Attack would embrace, yeah?
It is pretty interesting how bassicaly everyone says that Luigi's first apparition was in Mario Bros. in 1983 and really forgets that little one detail in the intro of this game (1982) which you can see Mario pushing DK's cage and *another man helping him who wears like him and can be Luigi*. Even Nintendo really didn't care about it because the Year of Luigi was in 2013 and in theory had to be in 2012.
2面クリア後の、親父ドンキーの檻を吊るしたヘリをパラシュート傘で追いかけるJr.の姿が可愛いですね。
それにしても3面の電流の面の鬼畜な難しさといったら無いですね。
Mario made more sense when he was just a guy who did odd jobs: rescuing his girlfriend from a giant gorilla and then trying to capture the gorilla for profit, doing construction, cleaning sewers, refereeing sports events. Then after Super Mario Bros. he got typecast as a knight-errant who wears overalls and has go-kart races with his enemies, it's just insanity.
He was a doctor also
@Robert Phillips Just to abuse it? As in, to torture it for his own pleasure? That doesn't sound right.
My summer camp actually has an arcade room and I remember playing this game as a kid. It was so hard and I died way to many times.
Just follow what he does!
Technically the first game with "Mario" in it he was the antagonist
5:28 What is Donkey Kong saying? Here are my thoughts.:
“Thank you son!”
“Hey! I’m free!”
“Now I’m free!”
“You saved me!”
“Thanks a lot!”
“Goodbye cage!”
“I’m so glad!”
“I feel good!”
I remember I got the cards for this on E-Reader for Game Boy Advance! This game was so much fun!
5:28 Donkey Kong: I'm free I'm free thank you son now daddy it's going to cause more chaos than ever I'm planning on breaking into a flower shop and release an army of Bees
was this based off of "son of kong" like how donkey kong was based off of king kong?
thanx for posting....great memories, Ahhhhh the 80's !!
So Luigi wore the same color cloths as Mario here?
maybe Luigi forgot his plumber suite
Luigi hadn't been invented yet.
There were just two Marios there, I guess.
Ladondorf Mario Mario, and Luigi Mario.
Marc Baker oli
O.phyy
OMG, At the intro of the game, is that a 8bit remix of Toccata and Fugue from Bach?
The sound chips from this game feel like it came out in the late 60’s
The ending is perfect! XD
Also proves Jumpman DID in fact, survive that fall, (the alternate ending on the NES was due to graphical limitations), got his ass whooped, and ran away like the pussy he is! XD
***** yes, but that's because the ending was altered due to the NES's graphical limitations.
Hmmm...Interesting. Don't know why they removed stuff when they could've kept it all in tact. :/
That'd be cool! :D
Not to mention this ending also proves Mario is in fact Jumpman.
@@90bats ye
2:14 LOL, Can Can by Offenbach!
I played this a lot on the GBA e-Reader. Never seen these cutscenes before!
Mario was a bad person?
Yeah
TheSonic813 no he's a different one
And plus in the nes he is dead
@@pkgreyscale9484 jumpman is mario nintendo confirmed & the arcade version is the real ending not the nes version
0:08 I always love how the first Mario isn’t even pushing anything lol
It really starts getting more difficult on the level that starts at 3:29
Fun fact: donkey Kong jr is actually donkey Kong
0:05 Omigosh? is that luigi?
Jump man and Mario
The graphics in this are still way way better than any X Box system. That's right PlayStation for life :)
The landing after a jump sound is different than I remember in the arcade version. Awesome game. Did Nintendo ever release the arcade version for a modern console?
On the Nintendo Switch
TTL sound, that's why. No two arcade machines will have the same sound quality because of this.
Mario as a villain, Maybe I kinda like to see more of that
Pause the video and go all the way back to the start of the video. 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He happens in árcade
I find it interesting that in the NES/Famicom port, Mario falls to his "death" in the end. Here, he's just kicked out.
Mario is not a bad guy,that guy was Jumpman, and I think Donkey Kong(Original)and Donkey Kong Jr is the bad guy.
Doesn't it say "Mario"?
Mario's original name was jumpman.
Mario is Jumpman. Jumpman is what Mario originally was called before he's renamed to Mario.
Mother told me, yes she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round

They just seem a little weird

Father says your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married Mommy served
In the WACS in the Philippines
Now I had heard the WACS recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear?
Then I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out

2:13 And Mario is now invincible in Super Mario Land!
That’s the Can Can.
not only does mario hide the fact he kidnapped a sapient ape, he also hides his identical twin brother and acts like Luigi is his only kin.
this character needs to come back
Nice play through of the last round dude!
If Nintendo can bring back Pauline in M🆚️DK 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Super Mario Odessey
They can do the same with Donkey Kong Jr.
Nintendo please bring back Donkey Kong Jr, I grew up with this character.. he is my childhood
Idk if you heard but, Dk jr is actually the modern Dk we know know, and cranky kong is actually the original dk
Donkey Kong Jr (16 Bit) got added as a racer in Mario Kart Tour during the Super Mario Kart tour a few weeks ago. During that tour, you could obtain him through pipe pulls. At this time, you can no longer obtain him since the tour has ended.
I really like the colors in this game...they are so bright
0:02 THAT'S HOW THERE CAN BE SO MANY MARIO GAMES THAT PROBABLY HAVE A HARDER TO FIGURE OUT TIMELINE THE THE LEGEND OF ZELDA! THERE'S MORE THAN ONE MARIO! There's probably a bunch of Luigis, and Princess Peaches too!
But infante Toads and one Bowser?
the other "mario" is probably luigi or maybe he used a double cherry and cloned himself
"Mario's" contraptions sure does look like..........
WARIO WARE. Pauline must be proud of him.......
5:44-6:11 What? Not again! I'm off,let's finish the longplay with a Game Over! -_-
5:44 6:11
Going to buy the Arcde soon of this. always been a favorite
In the arcade my top score was 630,000 but I knew people who got over a million!
John Alan Elson
wow. how the F@#$ did you do that? that game is so freakin' hard.
There is a bug where you put it in two player mode and then jump into the water at just the right time when player 2 comes up. The timing is tricky, but if you do it right you can keep playing and you keep going back to the first level as player one. It is nearly impossible to get through level 4 doing it the regular way, the red snap jaws regenerate and the birds are thick. This makes it fun ... you never even have to get to level 3 let alone get past four!
I didn't know birds were capable of killing an ape
What if bowser tricked Mario into being evil
Why was the video actually interesting
Watch church Sunday/Wednesday to learn about the one true God.
0:02 little known fact, that second mario on the left is actually Luigi
It's not
Unlikely, but it makes sense.
I miss jokes on purpose how is it not?
@@masterfarr8265 they're the same color lmfao
I miss jokes on purpose this was before he was fully realized
0:02 WTF two marios
one is luigi i think
Red Luigi
Mario: You stay in here!
Alex: SARAH MARK! PLEASE HELP ME!
Sarah: it's okay Alex we coming!
Mark: Come back here Mario!
I don’t like Mario as the bad guy
And I don't think Shigeru Miyamoto did either
Mario is the most evil character in Nintendo, locking a father in a cage and trying to kill his own son in front of him...
EnforcerX71 Mario has done like 3 bad things in his life I bet you did 1 bad thing in your life not everyone is perfect
Yeah, but those are pretty big bad things to do...
+EnforcerX71 okay that is right I guess sorry😖
+Angie Kudron You are a stupid kid.
The Greater Ark He clearly is.
DK Jr. Is DK from DK Kountry and DK Sr. Is Grandpa Kong.
*Country *Cranky
Wrong.
The only game where Mario was a villain.
People in the replies: shut up about theories, they’re theories, not canon. I know about Mario killing Goombas, Sacrificing Yoshi, etc. Those are what the player MAKES him do.
0:05 2 Marios/Jumpman?
He was called Mario in that game.
Also the 2nd one is actually an early version of Luigi
I can't believe PopEye went from eating spinach, to jumping over barrels, to locking Cranky Kong in a cage only to have...Donkey Kong's father...? Is that his name? Save him!
It is NOT Cranky Kong. Rare's story is BS.
@@LITTLE1994 Well, the Jump man who locked up is NOT Mario!
@@GMKGoji01 Jumpman is Mario. Nintendo officially confirmed it.
HES NO BILLY MITCHELL
This is the Japanese arcade version.
This brings back such fond memories. I'll never forget playing it at a skating rink and one of my classmates came up to me and said some hot girl wanted to couple skate with me and I let him take over the game and I did couple skate with her and we dated for 3 years. This game reminds me of her.
funny how simple things like arcade games back in the day will imprint a memory for you!
@@furnitureconsortium great story.
@@Surfer041 why can’t Donkey Kong Jr. be IN The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
Classic game follows the original donkey kong, while Mario goes and rescues the maiden. In this one is vice versa, kong is captured and is rescued by his son. It should be called
“Mario’s revenge “
Me and my Cousin used to play this and purposely make Donkey Kong Jr die, we'd laugh our asses off.
素晴らしいアーケード😊
5:06 The 1980s definition of "Pushing them Keys" - lol !!
