Donkey Kong is a video game series created by Shigeru Miyamoto. It features the adventures of an ape named Donkey Kong and his clan of other apes and monkeys. The franchise primarily consists of platform games, originally single-screen action puzzle games and later side-scrolling platformers. The first game was the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong, featuring the homonymous character as the main antagonist in an industrial construction setting and the debut of both the Donkey Kong and Mario characters. The title was a massive success and was followed by two sequels released in 1982 and 1983. In 1994, the franchise was relaunched with the platformer Donkey Kong Country, in which Donkey Kong defeats a variety of anthropomorphic enemies, mainly the Kremlings, a clan of crocodiles led by King K. Rool who antagonize the Kongs by stealing their banana hoard.
Games outside the platforming genre include spin-offs of various genres including rhythm games such as Donkey Konga, racing games such as Diddy Kong Racing, and edutainment such as Donkey Kong Jr. Math. An icon of the Donkey Kong franchise is barrels, which the Kongs use as weapons, vehicles, furniture, and lodging. As of March 2021, the Donkey Kong franchise has sold over a total of 65 million copies worldwide.
Developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released in July 1981, The original Donkey Kong arcade game was created when Shigeru Miyamoto was assigned by Nintendo to convert Radar Scope, a game that had been released to test audiences with poor results, into a game that would appeal more to Americans. The result was a major breakthrough for Nintendo and for the videogame industry. Sales of the machine were brisk, with the game becoming one of the best-selling arcade machines of the early 1980s alongside Pac-Man and Galaga. The gameplay itself was a large improvement over other games of its time, and with the growing base of arcades to sell to, it was able to gain huge distribution. In the game, Jumpman (renamed Mario) must ascend a construction site while avoiding obstacles such as barrels and fireballs to rescue his girlfriend Pauline from Donkey Kong. Miyamoto created a greatly simplified version for the Game & Watch multiscreen. Other conversions include the Atari 2600, Colecovision, Amiga 500, Apple II, Atari 7800, Intellivision, Commodore 64, Commodore VIC-20, Famicom Disk System, IBM PC, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX, Atari 8-bit family, and Mini-Arcade versions. The game was converted to the Family Computer in 1983 as one of the system's three launch games and re-released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Both Donkey Kong and its sequel, Donkey Kong Jr., are in the 1988 NES compilation Donkey Kong Classics. The NES version was re-released as an unlockable game in Animal Crossing for the GameCube[citation needed] and on the Wii's Virtual Console. The original arcade version appears in the Nintendo 64 game Donkey Kong 64. The NES version was re-released on the e-Reader in 2002 and for the Game Boy Advance Classic NES series in 2004. It was re-released for Wii, Wii U, and 3DS in 2013 and 2014, as Donkey Kong Original Edition.
The success of the original game spawned several ports, and a sequel, Donkey Kong Jr. which was also developed by Shigeru Miyamoto. In this game, Donkey Kong Junior is trying to rescue his father Donkey Kong, who has been imprisoned. Donkey Kong's cage is guarded by Mario, in his only appearance as a villain in a video game. The game was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released in August 1982. In the arcade version, Donkey Kong Jr. has to climb chains to push keys to the top screen, while avoiding danger such as electrical wires.
Donkey Kong II was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and was released in 1983, as part of the Game & Watch Multi Screen series.
Donkey Kong 3 was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released in September 1983, instead of Mario, the player controls Stanley the bug exterminator. Donkey Kong has taken refuge in his greenhouse and stirs up any insects that will soon destroy the flowers that Stanley must save by spraying his bug spray on Donkey Kong.
