The game starts out with the premise of the original 1981 [[Donkey Kong (game)|''Donkey Kong'' arcade game]]. However, this game qualifies as both an extension and a standalone title; it features 97 additional stages beyond this original premise. It acts as a predecessor to ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. | ||
''Donkey Kong'' is the first game in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] with specialized support for colored graphics on the [[Super Game Boy]] peripheral for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Its Super Game Boy border resembles the arcade cabinet of the original ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game. The game has slight audio enhancements on the Super Game Boy: [[Pauline]]'s distress cry sounds closer to a realistic cry for help (the Super NES's sound chip supports the inclusion of voice samples), and the credits theme was also enhanced. | ''Donkey Kong'' is the first game in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] with specialized support for colored graphics on the [[Super Game Boy]] peripheral for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]].

The player takes the role of [[Mario]]. | The player takes the role of [[Mario]]. [[Donkey Kong]] kidnaps Mario's lady friend [[Pauline]] and carries her off to a construction site. In a repeat of [[Donkey Kong (game)|the 1981 arcade classic]], Mario follows him up to the highest point and makes Donkey Kong fall off the platforms by pulling out the rivets supporting them, causing Donkey Kong to fall a height of [[100m]], reuniting Mario and Pauline, just like the events that took place 13 years ago. However, Donkey Kong unexpectedly recovers, takes Pauline, and escapes with her into the [[Big-City]]. Mario pursues the two. | ||
What follows is a chase throughout many different locations. Mario fights and defeats Donkey Kong at the end of each world, but Donkey Kong always stands up again and takes Pauline to the next location. Donkey Kong is aided by many of his friends as well as his son [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], who try to hinder Mario's progress. In the end, Donkey Kong escapes to the [[Tower (world)|Tower]] beyond [[Rocky-Valley]], where he and Mario have a confrontation on the top. After his defeat, Donkey Kong falls off the Tower, but he then takes many [[Super Mushroom]]s to augment his size to giant proportions. Mario faces the [[Giant Donkey Kong]] in an epic final battle.

After his defeat, Donkey Kong falls off the Tower, but he then takes many [[Super Mushroom]]s to augment his size to giant proportions. Mario faces the [[Giant Donkey Kong]] in an epic final battle. After Donkey Kong's final defeat, he falls from the Tower once again as Mario and Pauline are reunited once again. The ending scene shows Mario and Pauline in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] as Pauline gives him a Super Mushroom to turn Mario into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. As Mario becomes super, Donkey Kong (now being back to normal) falls down on top of him. But because Mario now has super strength, he is able to lift up Donkey Kong. Having believed to be captured by both Mario and Pauline, Donkey Kong is left calling for help the same way Pauline did throughout the game. Donkey Kong Jr. jumps into the shot as a photo is taken and the credits roll. The ending photo of the game during the credits shows Mario, Pauline, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr. posing in front of Rocky-Valley for a holiday photo, indicating that they have all made amends with each other. | ||
