''Donkey Kong'' stars [[Mario]] (referred to as "Jumpman") attempting to reach the top of a construction site where the Lady is held captive. In the process, Donkey Kong will throw barrels and other obstacles to stop Mario from reaching him. This can include [[Barrel]]s, Jacks, or other things. Mario has the ability to jump over these obstacles, or obliterate them using a [[Hammer]]. However, if Mario ends up falling off the side of a platform and lands on one below him (or none), and the difference in height is greater than Mario's, he will lose a life. Each time Mario reaches Pauline, however, Donkey Kong will carry Pauline away to the next level.
''Donkey Kong'' stars [[Mario]] (referred to as "Jumpman") attempting to reach the top of a construction site where the Lady is held captive. He can walk along platforms, jump, and climb [[ladder]]s as well. In the process, Donkey Kong may attempt to hinder Mario from a higher location by sending obstacles at him. Mario has the ability to jump over these obstacles or obliterate them using a [[Hammer]]; in both cases, he obtains a number of points that are added to a [[score]]. However, if Mario ends up falling off the side of a platform and lands on one below him (or none), and the difference in height is greater than Mario's, he loses a life. Each time Mario reaches Pauline, Donkey Kong will carry her away on a pair of ladders to the next level until the fourth stage, where he is defeated upon completion.
