GAMEPLAY Donkey Kong has captured the lady and escaped into a

construction site. Move the rescuer and make him jump

over the rolling barrels to make him scale the building. Ruin

Donkey Kong’s footing to rescue the lady.

If you jump onto the crane when its hook is all the
way out to the left, you will remove a wire. When
all the wires have been removed, Donkey Kong
will fall.
Throw the crane’s switch to make its hook start
swinging.
Jump over the barrels that roll toward you, while
avoiding the girders moving overhead.
Jump over a barrel safely in any location where
there is nothing overhead.

the mistakes on the right. The game ends

adds between ve and twenty points. Twenty points are added when Donkey Kong falls.
BONUSES
An additional rescuer will be awarded when you reach 300 and 1300 points. If you go for a
time without making any mistakes, you will enter fever mode, and another rescuer will be
added, and all points will be doubled until you make a mistake.
