Donkey Kong Junior’s Journey

I made a video, showing Junior’s adventure to save his Papa. It’s gameplay footage I recorded of different versions of the game, from the arcade original to Game & Watch versions, and the extra kitchen level from the Coleco Adam prototype. And some maths to round it out.

As part of the DKU research I mentioned earlier, I’m now up to the stage of cataloguing character appearances in the modern versions of Game & Watch Gallery games, and getting screenshots. There’s a lot of little details in these games though. For example, if you dump two full oil buckets on Yoshi on the left side in Modern Oil Panic, he’ll make a block there. Make four blocks and he goes up and hits Bowser. Do that four times, and you’ll see four unique animations: breathing a fireball as normal for this minigame, throwing an egg, spitting seeds from a watermelon, and then hitting him with some kind of water pistol (unless it’s a Super Scope possibly?). It’s neato!
