Story
In this game Donkey Kong is Mario's pet, one day he escaped and kidnapped Mario's girlfriend Pauline. You assume the role of Mario going over 4 levels. In each level every time you rescue Pauline, Donkey Kong takes her away again. In the last level you defeat Donkey Kong, rescue Pauline and the game restarts itself.
Gameplay
The gameplay is pretty simple as the only thing you have to do is jump over barrels avoiding anything in your way. In some levels you can also get a hammer for only a few seconds to help you along the way. There also items to help you increase your top score eventually giving you a extra life every 20,000 points.
Cheats
Normally you would gain 100 points each time you jump over a barrel But try jumpin over a barrel while the following 2 conditions apply
You are standin on the top of the MIDDLE ladder on the THIRD floor first level
The barrel must roll down the ladder you are on as you jump over it
If the conditions apply as in you jump over a barrel without movin back or forth and it just rolls down the ladder below you then you will hear the scorin points sound effect played multiple times really fast and you will gain several hundred points
