Jump, Man

Jump, Man is a Donkey Kong minigame in Mario Party 7. It is based on the original arcade game Donkey Kong, and its name comes from Mario's original name from the game, "Jumpman". This is directly referenced in-game, as Toadsworth remarks that the minigame looks familiar. Also, the preview window of this minigame shows Mario competing against Donkey Kong.

In the minigame, the character has to avoid barrels and climb vines, in a race against Donkey Kong to the top of the jungle where DK's Tree House is. Unlike in the original arcade game, the player can jump on top of the barrels without getting hurt.
