==Gameplay==
Donkey Kong is a [[:CatgoryCategory:Platform|platform game]] that requires the player to cross numerous platforms and scale ladders to ascend to ever higher platforms before reaching the goal of each stage. Donkey Kong was also one of the first games of this genre to require the player to jump over various obstacles including gaps, barrels, and fireballs. The ultimate goal of each level, and the entire game as a whole, is to help Mario ascend to the uppermost platform of the stage to rescue his girlfriend Pauline from the clutches of the gigantic ape, Donkey Kong. There are up to four stages to each level:
* Stage one consists of Mario climbing up a construction site which includes crooked girders and ladders to help him reach higher platforms. Mario has to jump ''Oil Barrels'' on this stage or crush them with one of two hammers that he can grab during this stage.
Each level contains one or more of the above stages. Level one, for example, consists of stages 1 and 4. Level two consists of stages 1, 3, and 4. Level three consists of all four stages in order from 1 to 4. Level four goes in this order of stages, 1, 2, 1, 3, 4. After level four, barrels and enemies get faster and the game becomes progressively more difficult to complete.
