Player's Review

"Remember in Donkey Kong how Mario fought Papa Donkey Kong? Well, Mario won. Now he has Papa locked up like an animal in a cage. Only you, Donkey Kong Junior can save Papa. You have to reach that special key to unlock the cage. But Mario has other ideas. As you nimbly climb trees and gracefully swing across vines towards your goal, Mario sends jaw-snapping creatures at you. You earn extra points by plucking fruit to bonk them. When you have won your first challenge, another scene appears with even greater attacks. And the fourth level is the most difficult of all."

Another great conversion that came out 30 years too late, but better late than never. While a conversion of the Atari 7800 game it still looks and sounds very much like a C64 game.

I assume the game is endless and the game has 4 stages which loop continuously while getting ever more difficult as you progress. Expert starts on level 4 and I took it up to level 8 to show difficulty progression. The game plays well and the collision detection is better than most c64 games. The main issue I had was overreaching when swinging across the vines. hold a direction a 10th of a second to long and you can overreach or fall of the vines. A minor niggle and its probably just me or my aging x360 dpad.
