Cutscene after level completion
Donkey Kong jumps down a small cliff then stops and puts Pauline down while angrily glaring at an arriving Mario. Once Mario jumps down, Donkey Kong gets ready to charge. Once he charges at him, Mario Backflips back up to the higher ground, avoiding Donkey Kong's attack and making him crash into wall, causing the ape to get dizzy as Mario continuously jumps up and down. Donkey Kong dizzily stumbles back over to Pauline, then, once he regains his composure, grabs her and continues to run as Mario chases after him.
