Gamesville

Gamesville is the setting of the events narrated in Donkey Kong Goes Home. The city's locations include a pizza parlor owned by Mario and a candy shop owned by a woman who narrates the majority of the story and is friends with Mario and Pauline. Prior to the events of the album, the city used to have a zoo located across from the shop and parlor that was the home of Donkey Kong before it was demolished and turned into a construction site for a building. Donkey Kong and the other animals were then sold to a circus, which visits the city once a year. After Mario rescues Pauline, he and the people of Gamesville agree to build in the top 20 floors of the building a zoo for Donkey Kong named "Donkey Kong Zoo."
