Donkey Kong '94note tentative title used in development for differentiation, as it is officially known as "Donkey Kong" and alternatively referred to on the title screen and Japanese logo as "GAME BOY Donkey Kong" is a Puzzle Platformer released on Nintendo's Game Boy handheld in 1994. It is the first game to have Super Game Boy enhancements: color support, some enhanced audio, and a custom border designed to look like an arcade cabinet. It is also the final game to prominently feature the original version of the title character, before Rare’s take on the character the same year would go on to define him since.The game starts with the pretense of being a straight Updated Re-release of the original 1981 Arcade Game. The exact same Excuse Plot is used here—Donkey Kong has kidnapped Pauline, and Mario must chase him down. The game even opens with the same four levels of the original, but after the fourth level is beaten, the arcade ending begins, and is immediately subverted when Donkey Kong immediately recovers and takes Pauline again. What follows is 97 levels of lock and key puzzles spread across nine more worlds.Every four levels, you face off against Donkey Kong himself, occasionally accompanied by Donkey Kong Junior. The last stage of each world is a direct boss battle against the big guy where you get to throw the barrels back at him.Several game mechanics are in play: Of course, all the challenges you'd expect from a Platform Game. This includes moving platforms, climbing vines, swinging from ropes, conveyor belts, wind, etc. The aforementioned Lock and Key Puzzle. No explanation necessary. Sometimes Mario will be forced to drop the key for a while so he can do other things, but if it's left alone for too long (about ten seconds), it will warp back to where it started. Boxes that, when Mario touches them, will allow the player to place temporary walkways, ladders, single blocks, or springboards. Quite a few levels hinge around placing these and racing the clock to cross them before they disappear. Levers that manipulate various aspects of the level, such as opening gates or controlling moving platforms. The hammer from the arcade Donkey Kong is still here. This is the only way to kill Mooks besides throwing stuff at them. There is also an enhanced, respawning hammer used for breaking certain blocks.Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Game Boy Advance was originally planned as an remake of this game; the working title was Donkey Kong Plus, and it was to feature Nintendo GameCube connectivity and a Level Editor.Not to be confused with the aforementioned Donkey Kong Country, which also released in 1994. | |

HalfTruth | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_344935b3 | comment |
Half-Truth: Page 8 of the game's manual claimed that "Mario cannot use some of these new actions at first, but as he continues along the quest, he will acquire the skills to use them." This would seem to imply that some of Mario's moves had to be unlocked; in reality, all the moves are usable from the beginning, and the only things you can't do involve level elements (e.g. levers) that don't show up until later. Most likely, the manual's writer was tripped up by the existence of cutscenes that illustrate moves being shown every few levels, which might make one think that you can't use those moves until you've seen them in the cutscenes, even though that's not the case. | |

Not the Fall That Kills You | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_38119dcf | comment |
Not the Fall That Kills You…: Mario can die if he falls far enough - unless you can manage to grab a vine in time. Mario also has a rolling manoeuvre if he's moving diagonally, which prevents him from being stunned like he normally would if he falls far enough. If he completely inverts during the fall though, he will land on his head and die immediately on impact. | |

Squashed Flat: One of the many ways Mario can die. In fact, there's three ways this can happen; being crushed by a Crusher block, by being pushed into a wall by a Sir Shovalot, or being flattened by Giant Donkey Kong's fists. | |

Bookends | |

Book Ends: The first level is a single screen remake of 25m. A few levels before the end boss is 9-5, which is essentially 25m again, but properly scaled for Mario's abilities. The last platforming stage, 9-7, is also a series of slopes leading up to DK, much like 25m, but with no ladders. | |

Nostalgia Level: In addition to the first four levels, the game contains stages designed to resemble the levels from Donkey Kong Junior - In fact, Stage 9-4 is basically Donkey Kong Junior's final stage - except the keys are locking Junior in the cage. As you might guess, it's the last stage where he appears. Stage 9-5 is also a full remake of 25m. | |

Fragile Speedster: While Mario is faster, more nimble and resists falls better than he did in the original game, he's still defenseless against enemies without a hammer to hit them or without any barrel or key to throw on them, and because this game doesn't have any powerups, touching these enemies or failing to dodge one of their projectiles steals him a life. | |

Disney Villain Death: Like the arcade game, Donkey Kong appears to fall to his demise after beating the last of the original four stages, only to get right back up and kidnap Pauline again. This is what happens to Donkey Kong at the end of 9-8 battle, he lands in a pile of mushrooms that make him giant. He falls again after being defeated. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: One cutscene has Mario fall into lava and live. Needless to say, falling into lava in gameplay is lethal. The same goes for Mario surviving falling on his head from a great distance when Donkey Kong steals back Pauline at the end of World 0. If the same happens to you in-game, you're toast. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Donkey Kong is much more persistent compared to the arcade version. As opposed to four levels across a single construction site, it takes chasing him through ten entire worlds and beating him in ten boss fights before he finally admits defeat. Even then, DK turns himself into a giant for one last showdown beforehand. While Mario still is a One-Hit-Point Wonder, he can survive falls from greater heights compared to the original game. He's also capable of doing one hell of a lot more than he previously could, to the point where you can have Mario backflip to the top of the original game's first level in under three seconds. | |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_7ccd3698 | comment |
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Perhaps as an Homage to the original Donkey Kong / King Kong trademark infringement lawsuit, the final boss is Donkey Kong grown to giant size attacking Mario. Downplayed in the ending when Mario assumes his Super Mario form for what is implied to chronologically be the first time, courtesy of a Super Mushroom from Pauline, to catch a falling Donkey Kong after said boss fight. | |

Meaningless Lives | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_8b6a1576 | comment |
Meaningless Lives: Almost every level has a 1-Up Heart floating around somewhere. In addition to this, every four levels you get one extra life for every hundred points made in those levels (usually at least five), and then there's the bonus games at the end of each level if you collect all of Pauline's accessories. To top it all off, the game saves your progress every four levels, and since levels are quite short, it's usually not a huge loss to get a Game Over. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Although the button layout is what a veteran of Mario games is used to, the game engine is similar to the original Donkey Kong, so Mario's movement is different (particularly relating to stopping from a run) than in the Super Mario Bros. games. He also lacks the ability to safely land from falls of any height, although he can fall further safely than he could in the arcade game. | |

Tech-Demo Game: It was the first game to support special functionality for the Super Game Boy, and it goes all out with it. Not only does it include the usual custom border, it also features dynamic color palettes that avert the usual Color Wash problem the add on was known for (the palettes tend to have four distinct colors instead of just four shades of the same color), Pauline's cries for help are played through the SNES instead of the Game Boy so they come in much clearer, and the world maps are all individually colored with more than four colors using the tricks the system was capable of. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Death: Like in the original Donkey Kong, Mario can get killed if he drops from too far high up, though the distance to do so has significantly increased. If you don't swerve and turn it into a roll — which helps negate the fall damage — you get the grisly image of Mario smashing his head on the ground before he enters his classic death pose; with a comedic jingle just to rub it in. | |

Foreshadowing: You can see the final tower world off in the distance in the jungle levels. A number of cutscenes allude to future gameplay mechanics or give you tips on how to play the game. The cutscene after 9-4 shows what Mario needs to do to defeat Donkey Kong in 9-8 since the barrels don't stop on their own unless Mario catches them with a handstand. | |

Drop the Washtub: In most of the boss battles, Donkey Kong pounds the ground and causes debris to fall from the sky, including tires, barbells, 16t weights, bricks, and washtubs. Like with barrels, doing a handstand will protect you from getting crushed by any of them. | |

The Many Deaths of You | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_a7325f9e | comment |
The Many Deaths of You: Unlike the original Donkey Kong (and most of the other platforming Mario games), there's a wide range of death animations for the many, many ways Mario can purchase the agricultural facility. And most of them have their own little ditty; the original death animation and its corresponding music are still in the game, though. For example; touching fire or magma immediately causes Mario to burn to a crisp, and if you get too close to Donkey Kong in the levels he appears in, the ape will grab Mario by the head and bash him against the floor several times, before chucking him away like a ragdoll. | |

Bloodsucking Bats | |

Bloodsucking Bats: It's implied that the bat enemy is vampiric, as it makes a sucking noise when it touches Mario. | |

Tactical Suicide Boss | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_d6dee153 | comment |
Tactical Suicide Boss: It made sense in the original game, when Mario could only barely clear them, to constantly throw barrels at the plumber. But now that he can jump higher and Catch and Return them? Not Donkey Kong's best move. Of course, since he's merely a gorilla, and Mario still goes down instantly if a barrel actually hits him, it's at least justifiable. | |

Call-Forward | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: Mario, Donkey Kong, Junior, and Pauline all end up in the Mushroom Kingdom. DK uses a bunch of Super Mushrooms to make himself grow in the final battle, and Mario takes one for himself in the ending cutscene. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Donkey Kong is given his red "DK" tie in this game which was carried over to Donkey Kong Country — although technically it's still the future Cranky Kong in this game, which would explain where the current DK got his one from — while Pauline now sports her current brunette look. | |

Boss Remix | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_f1577797 | comment |
Boss Remix: The final boss theme is basically an extension of the jingle that played in the original arcade version when Donkey Kong climbed the ladder; it's played in this game when a boss level is selected. | |

| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_f2a5f7f2 | comment |
Unlike the original Donkey Kong (and most of the other platforming Mario games), there's a wide range of death animations for the many, many ways Mario can purchase the agricultural facility. And most of them have their own little ditty; the original death animation and its corresponding music are still in the game, though. | |

Jungle Japes: The fourth world of the game, the Jungle, also seems to be Donkey Kong's living considering Junior starts to help him from here. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: The game has one instance of this in Forest Level 3. You start right next to the exit door with the key to it also in easy access, but a lock closes in front of it, requiring you to go through the whole level to unlock it before grabbing the key and then leaving. Thing is, there's also one of the summon-able ladders right next to you as well. You're supposed to use it to start on the path up through the level towards the unlock switch... but you start so close to it that you can just as well place it in the path of the lock before it closes, keeping it from closing for a few seconds while you grab the key, scoot on through, and end a three-minute level in three seconds. | |

Lock and Key Puzzle | |
| Donkey Kong '94 (Video Game) / int_fb21b816 | comment |
Lock and Key Puzzle: After the initial arcade-based platforming levels in World 0, the rest of the game takes the form of these. Get to the Key and bring it back to the Door DK and Pauline went through, and there's plenty of tricky platforming and puzzle-solving between you and it. | |
