Product Description: Donkey Kong Classic NES GBA MODEL- AGBPFDKE VENDOR- NINTENDO FEATURES- NES Classics: Donkey Kong Man v. monkey: The eternal struggle. Before Mario became super, he was a brave carpenter (or so says one early promotional flyer) instead of a plumber and had an 800-pound gorilla on his back. You can shake off that monkey all over again in the re-release of Donkey Kong as part of the NES Classics series. The game looks great on both the Game Boy Advance and the Game Boy Player for the Nintendo GameCube. As the story goes, this freak-of- nature gorilla kidnaps the beautiful girl. Mario, being the chivalrous type, runs to the rescue. To reach damsel in distress, however, Mario must avoid the gorillas killa posse of barrels, fireballs and bouncing rivets. Along the way, Mario picks up big points when he hammers barrels and fireballs and snags the umbrella, purse and hat that the girl dropped during her abduction. Once Mario reaches the girl, DK pulls a fast one and takes her away to another level. Mario doesnt know hes fighting a never-ending battle in the name of love, but dont feel too sorry for him. Even though he never really gets the girl in Donkey Kong, he does collect a lot of coins in the other games in which he appears and should be pretty rich by now. Two players can take turns competing for the girl, either on the same Game Boy Advance or with the help of a Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable. Plus, you can save your high score to memory (you need almost a million points to beat the worlds record, so you better get jumping).

Good game that really resembles the original arcade classic. Get's boring fast though.

This game is just like the SNES game. The only drawback is the small screen on GBA or DS. I was used to the TV with my old SNES. For kids, it is great and easy enough to figure out yet challenging enough to keep them entertained for a while. For me, a grandma, it was a little challenging to recall the controls and what I had to do to complete a level. It is a great way to regain a part of my younger days.
Rating: - Why No Donkey Kong Classics For GBA?
As much fun as this game was on the NES and now on the GBA (though compared to the original arcade version it still lacks the "pie factory/conveyor belt" screen), one could only wonder why this game couldn't have been sold as Donkey Kong Classics for the GBA, giving GBA owners the added fun of playing Donkey Kong Junior (a great arcade game that lost little in being translated for the NES) without messing around with eReader cards. It would have been worth the $20 paid for this game alone.
Rating: - pretty good
I never had the chance to enjoy donkey kong in any form considering i don't have animal crossing, a nes, and i wasn't born in the 70s. But for all you people putting this game down 'caus it's missing a level, it says NES CLASSIC SERIES, not arcade classic series! The nes game was missing this level too. This is still pretty fun game for classic mario fans.

I loved this game as a kid, that is why I got it. Things aren't always what we remember but overall I do like it. I agree... even w/ the missing level it is fun. It is a game people... let's not harp over it. Good game to go back to and be a kid again!
