Donkey Kong Circus is a Game & Watch title released as part of the Panorama series on September 6, 1984[1]. It is a remake of the second Mickey Mouse Game & Watch game, which was released worldwide seven months earlier. The two games' codes even seem to have gotten mixed up, with Mickey Mouse being model "DC-95" and Donkey Kong Circus being "MK-96".[1] Neither the Panorama Screen Mickey Mouse nor Donkey Kong Circus were released in Japan.
Gameplay
In this game, Donkey Kong balances on a barrel while juggling pineapples and avoiding the flaming torches. Mario watches his performance. If Donkey Kong loses a pineapple, Mario would laugh at him. If Donkey Kong manages to grasp a fireball, he will flail.

- 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 rather than vice versa.
