The setting takes a shift northward, away from the jungle and pirate ship environments of the first two titles and into the Northern Kremisphere, a region of DK's world that seems a lot like certain regions of Canada or Alaska. Donkey Kong himself is once again absent, and this time Diddy's also nowhere to be found – the quest for Dixie and Kiddy is to track down the wayward apes and bring them home, all the while continuing the battle against King K. A direct follow-up to the two pre-rendered platformers that came before it, DKC3 is a hop-and-bop side-scroller that offers up a new playable character in the form of the overgrown gorilla baby Kiddy Kong, while also pushing ponytailed sidekick Dixie into the titular starring role. DKC3 arrived in the Wii Shop on Christmas Eve, just in time to be available during the holiday break for anyone who might have passed it by in the same end-of-year stretch back in '96. It should also be noted that in many conversions of the original coin-op game for early 1980's consoles and computer-systems, Donkey Kong only used two or three of the original levels, with the cement factory most often omitted.If that was you, then here's your second chance. Additionally, Mario can also find Pauline's hat, purse and umbrella for additional bonus points.ĭonkey Kong is also notable for being one of the first complete narratives in video game form, told through simplistic cut scenes that advance the story. Although not as powerful as in other future games, Mario can find a hammer which allows him to destroy the barrels and fireballs for a limited amount of time. From there, the levels start over at a higher difficulty.Īlong the way, Mario must dodge a constant stream of barrels, "living" fireballs, and spring-weights. Once the rivets are removed from the final level, Donkey Kong falls, and the two lovers are reunited. Released in the arcades in 1981, Donkey Kong was not only Nintendo's first real smash hit for the company, but marked the introduction for two of their most popular mascots: Mario (originally "Jumpman") and Donkey Kong.ĭonkey Kong is a platform-action game that has Mario scale four different industrial themed levels (construction zone, cement factory, an elevator-themed level, and removing rivets from girders) in an attempt to save the damsel in distress, Pauline, from the big ape before the timer runs out.
