CLASSIC NES – DONKEY KONG took place when Mario had kidnapped Donkey Kong and locked him in a cage on suspicion that he had captured Princess Peach. After discovering the disappearance of his father, Donkey Jr – Donkey Kong’s son became angry and decided to make a journey to rescue his father. However, with the inherent intelligence, Mario has designed an excellent locker, which requires six different keys to open. Donkey Jr has to search for his father in 4 dense forests while searching for keys in dangerous places. The conflict did culminate, although there have been conciliations before, that is still meaningless.
There are two modes that players can choose from: Single or Multi Players. At the same time, you can also choose to play like Mario or Donkey Jr with two options: A and B. If you choose A, the player will play Mario, try to overcome the dangers that Donkey Kong poses, and face with him to lock him in the cage. Meanwhile, Option B will play like Donkey Jr, when trying to collect keys in order to rescue his father. This two-dimensional mechanism is such a highlight of CLASSIC NES – DONKEY KONG, which most other games in the series do not have yet.
The plot is divided into several small scenarios, taking place at each stage. To be able to pass a stage, players will try to control their character from the bottom to the top of the screen to face the real enemy. The map is divided into several floors and is connected by stairs. Its gameplay is quite simple, revolving around moving and avoiding the dangers that appear along the way, without fighting techniques like in the previous Mario Series. If unfortunately, colliding an obstacle or a monster, the character will die and be revived at the bottom floor if there are life points left. If not, they will have to start from the previous stage. Although it is not possible to buy life-saving items, they will appear during the scene as items such as an umbrella, or mysterious box. Collect them for an extra life point. Besides, these items will also increase the number of bonus points when completing a period. The system will mark the record score so that the player can compare it with their friend in Multiplayer mode.
