'''''Donkey Kong''''' ({{ja|ドンキーコング|Donkī Kongu}}, ''Donkey Kong'') is an arcade game released by [[Nintendo]] on July 9, 1981.  It was designed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and was one of the first games he produced for Nintendo. It was the first appearance of [[Mario]], back then known as Jumpman, the first appearance of [[Donkey Kong]] and the first appearance of [[Pauline]], the damsel-in-distress.


==In the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series==

===Fighters===
Mario and an early portrayal of the Donkey Kong character debuted in this game. Donkey Kong kidnapped Pauline, and Mario had to rescue her.


===Stage===
The stage [[75m]], first introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', comes from this game. It is the third level in the original arcade version, and the second one in the NES version.


===Item===
'''''Donkey Kong''''' ({{ja|ドンキーコング}}, ''Donkī Kongu'') is a Computer Othello arcade game released by [[Nintendo]] on July 9, 1981. It was designed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and was one of the first games he produced for Nintendo. It was the first appearance of [[Mario]], back then known as Jumpman, the first appearance of [[Donkey Kong]] and the first appearance of Pauline, the damsel-in-distress.
The {{b|Hammer|item}} comes from this game. When grabbed, Mario swings it around and instantly defeat any enemy he touches. However, he can't jump while using it.

===Music===
==[[Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]==
"Donkey Kong", "Opening (Donkey Kong)" and "25m BGM" come from this game.  "Donkey Kong" is a remix of the 25m level theme.  "Opening (Donkey Kong)" is a remix/medley of several pieces of music from Donkey Kong. Starting off with the track that plays during the opening in this game, then the soundbyte that plays during the 'Game Start', the 25m level music and the music that played when Mario picks up and starts flailing the Hammer. "25m BGM" is the original version of the 25m level theme.
Mario and Donkey Kong, the characters who starred in this game became part of the Smash Bros. character roster since the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' In addition, the [[Hammer]] from this game, as well as the tune that goes with it, is an [[item]] in all three ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. A section of Donkey Kong's [[Target Test]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' resembles the first level of the game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a [[stage]] known as [[75 m]] is based directly on the third level in the game. Also, in ''Brawl'', in Mario's Down Taunt, Mario spins around and falls to the ground. Mario did something like this whenever he dies in Donkey Kong. In addition, DK's red costume may be a reference to his original sprite from this game. Donkey Kong also appears as a [[Masterpiece]]. It starts the player on the level 75 m takes place on.

|Donkey Kong<br>Arcade 1981
|align=left|Known worldwide as Mr. Nintendo, Mario uses his incredible jumping ability to thwart the evil Bowser time after time. While he's best known as a hero, Mario has played many roles, including racer, doctor, golfer, and villain. His tastes have changed over 20 years of gaming; he long ago swapped the colors of his shirt and overalls.

|align=left|While he now prefers the laid-back jungle lifestyle to construction site mischief, DK is often forced back into action by the {{iw|mariowiki|Kremling Krew}}. The great ape is quite fast despite his burly physique, and he keeps his strength up with a steady diet of his favorite food: {{iw|mariowiki|banana}}s. His one extravagance (and only piece of clothing) is a monogrammed necktie.

|align=left|If you grab the Hammer, you'll run across the screen swinging it back and forth nonstop. In Donkey Kong, Mario used the Hammer in exactly the same fashion. It's an extremely powerful item, but you have no recovery move when carrying it. Every now and then, the mallet head will fall off, and you'll end up completely vulnerable, swinging just the handle.

|desc-ntsc=As iconic as iconic gets, this gaming celebrity is known for saving the world from Bowser. He's got amazing jumping skills and makes use of a wide range of transformations. In his free time, he plays too many sports to count. In Smash Bros., he's a well-rounded fighter you can rely on. Say it with me: "It's-a me, Mario!"
|desc-pal=It's-a him! Maaario! Whether he's wearing one of his special outfits or just his normal blue dungarees, this running, jumping, Bowser-bashing, princess-saving hero is an all-round superstar. And in this game, he's got enough tricks up his sleeve to deal with anything. If you don't know which fighter to pick, Mario's a solid choice.

|desc-pal=This is something you just can't stop swinging. At all. You'll do a lot of damage with it, but...you won't be able to jump in mid-air or use special moves, so if you fall off the stage, good luck getting back on! Oh, and if the head pops off, you'll be left waving the handle around. If that happens... man, you are going to look ridiculous.

|desc-ntsc=Waaay back in 1981, a new action game using barrels and girders hit arcades. That game was Donkey Kong, in which Mario had to rescue Pauline from the title character. Maybe she wanted to look less like Princess Peach—she changed her look in the Game Boy version.
|desc-pal=One fine day in 1981, the world was introduced to a new action-packed arcade game – Donkey Kong! But back then, the girl Mario was trying to rescue from Donkey Kong wasn't Peach – it was Pauline. Also, did you know that in Japan, Pauline was originally just called "Lady"?

===[[Masterpiece]]===
The NES version of the game appears as an unlockable Masterpiece in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and a default masterpiece in {{forwiiu}}. In ''Brawl'', it can be played for 30 seconds and starts at 75m. It must be unlocked by having the game turned on for 10 hours. In ''Smash Wii U'', it can be played for 120 seconds and is available from the start. After the timer elapsed in the Wii U version, the player was given the opportunity to purchase the game as a [[Virtual Console]] title from the [[Nintendo eShop]] before its closure on March 27, 2023.
 
===Misc.===
Some platforms in Mario's and Donkey Kong's [[Target Smash!]] levels in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' resemble the platforms in this game. Mario's down taunt in ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'' is based on his death animation from this game.
