Donkey Kong has played different roles in | Donkey Kong has played different roles in select [[Game & Watch]] titles. | ||
===='' | ====''Donkey Kong''==== | ||
In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong]]'', Donkey Kong would attempt to stop Mario by throwing barrels at him. | In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong]]'' game, Donkey Kong would attempt to stop Mario from releasing Pauline by throwing barrels at him, and Mario had to use a hook mechanism to loosen the wires supporting Donkey Kong's platform. If four wires are removed, Donkey Kong will fall. This was re-released in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', with [[Princess Peach]] replacing Pauline and other minor gameplay changes in the modern version. A more accurate port is available in ''[[Game & Watch Collection]]''. | ||
===='' | ====''Donkey Kong Jr.''==== | ||
An offshoot of the Arcade game of the same name with a similar premise. In ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', the eponymous ape must obtain four [[key]]s from a tree to unlock his father's cage. This was re-released in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'' and ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', with three screens in the modern version and a variation of [[Mushroom Kingdom]] enemies working for Mario. | |||
===='' | ====''Donkey Kong II''==== | ||
Donkey Kong | A direct follow-up to the previous adventure, ''[[Donkey Kong II]]'' sees Donkey Kong Jr. in a pseudo-amalgamation of the third and fourth screens of his Arcade game. Donkey Kong Jr. must once again climb upwards, pushing the locks open to free his father. This is unlockable in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'', without a modern edition. | ||
====''Donkey Kong 3''==== | |||
Similar to ''[[Greenhouse]]'', and the Arcade ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', the Game & Watch ''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong 3]]'' has [[Stanley the Bugman]] protecting his plants. Donkey Kong released bees aiming at the bugman, and his job was to spray them back at Donkey Kong. In ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', Stanley was replaced with Mario, and the game adopted a [[Ghost House]] theme. | |||
====''Donkey Kong Circus''==== | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Circus]]'' (a remake of [http://www.intheattic.co.uk/mickey_mouse1.htm/ ''Mickey Mouse'']), Mario watches Donkey Kong juggling [[pineapple]]s while balancing on a barrel. When Donkey Kong makes a mistake, Mario laughs at his performance. | |||
====''Donkey Kong Hockey''==== | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Hockey]]'', Mario and Donkey Kong settle the score with a game of ice hockey. Player 1 is Mario, while Player 2 or the CPU is Donkey Kong. It also happens to be their first instance being in a competitive, physically athletic position. | |||

'''Pauline''' was kidnapped by both the [[Cranky Kong|original Donkey Kong]] in the Arcade and Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' games and the current Donkey Kong in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series. The original Donkey Kong's motive was revenge against Mario for not being a good pet owner, while the current Donkey Kong had three different variations of the kidnapping. In ''March of the Minis'', it was due to his perceived rejection of his feelings in favor of Mario, and took Pauline away to shower her with gifts. In ''Minis March Again!'', Donkey Kong appears to have kidnapped Pauline due to theme park tickets being sold out. In ''Mini-Land Mayhem!'', Donkey Kong just missed having the free [[Mini Pauline]] that was given to the first 100 guests of the theme park, so he takes the real Pauline instead. Although the current Donkey Kong has ultimately proven to have harmless intentions, Mario still assumes the worst when his brash temper acts up and causes him to take her away somewhere. Despite this, Pauline and Donkey Kong remain on friendly terms, and Pauline is generally key to soothing his anger issues. | '''Pauline''' was kidnapped by both the [[Cranky Kong|original Donkey Kong]] in the Arcade, Game & Watch and Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' games, and the current Donkey Kong in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series.
