==Trivia==
*This is one of the few Game & Watch units to feature full color. This was actually due to [[Gunpei Yokoi]]'s idea to move the background around the characters instead of vice-versa.
*This game was used for the plot of [[The Saturday Supercade]].  
*This game features identical gameplay to [http://www.intheattic.co.uk/mickey_mouse1.htm/ ''Mickey Mouse''], which was released seven months earlier. The two games' codes also got mixed up, with ''Mickey Mouse'' being model "DC-95" and ''Donkey Kong Circus'' being "MK-96".<ref name="ITA"/>
*This game may be set as a prequel to the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', since it is said that it was Mario who unwittingly started the conflict by mistreating his pet. Is is possible that Mario is taming him to perform rather than being a mere audience member. However, the relationship between the two in this instance seems to be good-natured.
