Topic: Donkey Kong (GB)

@Qwikman - You know, I should've responded to Nintyfan's post, as his advice was enough to get me through the level. I'm currently stuck on level 7-1, so if you'd like to help me out with that one, I won't complain.

I played this as a kid with my Game Boy and now I am playing it as a 36 year old man with too much time on his hands. LOL. And loving every second of it This is THE best GameBoy game ever released, imho. Enjoying it thoroughly and highly recommend it!

Gracias, NintyFan, for helping me solve that one as well.

Is this game not worth the money just because it's black and white? Or should I still get it? I must admit that this game looks a lot better when it's in color, but from what you guys are saying, it must be a pretty good game. So should I just get it?

This game is absolutely worth a purchase and a total steal at just 4 dollars and change. Yeah it sucks that it isn't in color but the controls and level design are just fantastic and it all holds up amazingly well so many years later. I don't regret my black and white purchase one bit!

@Demonbaby: I don't have it because I haven't gotten a 3DS card yet, but it's a fantastic game even without color and I definitely recommend it.

Mario does triple jumps! I am complete underestimate the Gameboy.

This game makes Super Mario World look like New Super Mario Bros.

This game is awesome! I beat and it was so much fun to play through. The second to last boss fight music is awesome! The arsenal of moves you have is pretty impressive too. I'm so glad this was released early on the VC instead of years later!

I never could beat Donkey Kong at the very end.

Did anyone else have difficulty with him?

Using restore points helps. I just beat this the other day such an awesome game.

Just completed it. Is this another game where you have to reset when it reaches The End screen? I've just left my restore point there and will probably leave it like that!

i'm sure this a nice game will just have to see

Just finished it this morning. What a great game. I had picked up the GB cart 2 years ago, and beat it then. Playing it again felt just as fresh. There are so many levels, that it all seems new again.

I had a bit of trouble on the final DK, but not too much. Restore points were NOT used. Come on guys, stop spoiling the challenge! Try this: If you feel like setting the restore point, pause the game, go to Kotaku, and watch an episode of Retro Game Master. That should bring about a sense of shame for wanting to use the restore point, and also a sense of resolve to play better!

I remember having it back with the GB. This is a massive comeback for me. Excellent game. Can get really hard though. At the iceberg now.

DK on the 3DS VC was my first time playing this great game. Challenging, fun, and addictive! This is the first game IN A LONG TIME that I've beaten and picked right back up and started over again. (I'm already back to world 3! Woot!)

Its my first myself playing this game to, still cant see myself playin it again if i ever beat the game Im on level 6 very challenge game and addictive.

Does anyone else know this trick on 2-3?

At the start of the stage, immediately put the ladder in the gap where the barrier comes down before it comes down. Then just walk over to the door. Easy.

This game is awesome and very addicting. I've gotten to 8-6 in around 3 play sessions. I'd say it's the best GameBoy game available on the Virtual Console so far.

Also, Anyone else notice that the release date the American eShop posts for this game is incorrect. It's listed as 06/1981, but the game was actually released in 1994. I'm haven't checked, but I think they got it mixed up with the Arcade game.

I guess modern Mario games giving you tons of extra lives isn't such a recent trend after all

im stuck at 100m(level 4) does anyone know how to beat the level,i go up to the lady and it dont work
