A port of the classic arcade title Donkey Kong, and a launch title for the Famicom in Japan. This port had a few changes due to limitations with early game carts:
- The second stage with the conveyor belts is missing.
- There is no animated opening sequence or between-stage "How High Can You Get?" scenes.
- Blue barrels appear as just regular barrels
- Only two of Pauline's accessories appear.
- The music when you rescue Pauline is different.
Despite this, almost all future ports of the game are based on the Famicom/NES version rather than the original Arcade release.
