'''''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==

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

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.

 

 

"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.

 

|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.

 

====In ''Brawl''====

|desc=A familiar overall-clad figure who is Nintendo's flagship character. His courage and jumping ability have seen him through countless adventures. He's a multitalented plumber with the knowledge of a [[Dr. Mario|physician]], a top-notch golfer, and a veteran tennis umpire. Is his jumping prowess a boon from his girder-climbing days?

|desc-ntsc=An item that, once grabbed, makes you swing nonstop. It's a powerful attack item that does terrific damage and sends opponents sailing. Once in a great while, the hammer's head will fall off, leaving you nothing but the handle. Of course, you can't tell whether the head is securely fastened just by looking. Hammerheads that fall off can be picked up and thrown as weapons.

 

|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-3ds-ntsc=[[Super Jump Punch]] is an up-special move that lets you leap high into the air, carrying any fighters you strike along with you. You'll be invincible for a moment after you launch this attack. The default side-special move, [[Cape]], will [[Reverse|flip a fighter around]]. Keep a foe from returning with this move!

|name={{Anchor|Pauline}} [[Pauline]]

|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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
