Originally released in 1982 as the very first New Wide Screen Game & Watch game. As in the arcade and NES game of the same name, the player takes control of Donkey Kong Jr., who must rescue his father, Donkey Kong, from the clutches of Mario, who has imprisoned him in a cage.

Donkey Kong Jr. must first maneuver past the Snapjaws (Mechanical crocodiles) and generic bird enemies Mario throws out. Once he is as close to Donkey Kong's cage as possible, he must time a jump correctly to catch a swinging key, which he will grab and then insert into Donkey Kong's cage to unlock one of four locks.
