-This stage is based on the 75m level of the arcade game ''{{b|Donkey Kong|game}}'', in which [[Mario]] must maneuver through obstacles such as vertically moving platforms, bouncing [[mariowiki:Springboard|jacks]], and {{s|mariowiki|Fire}}s. If Mario falls from a certain height, gets hit by the jacks, or touches a Fire, he loses a life. Mario also has a chance to earn more points by collecting items in the stage, which include a [[mariowiki:Pauline's items|hat, parasol, and purse]]. This stage is an accurate recreation of the 75m in the NES port of ''Donkey Kong''; however, the bottom-most platform is now in the background and cannot be landed on (in addition to jacks only appearing when Donkey Kong is in the foreground, instead of all the time as in the original game).
+''Donkey Kong'' was the first title to feature [[Mario]], then portrayed as a carpenter as opposed to a plumber. In the game, heavily inspired by ''King Kong'' and the ''Popeye'' cartoon ''A Dream Walking'', he must chase Donkey Kong up the construction site of a skyscraper to rescue Pauline. The location of the game was stated at the time of its release to be real world {{iw|wikipedia|New York City}}, however later games have contradicted this with differently named urban areas implied to be the same, such as the [[New Donk City Hall|Metro Kingdom]] in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' and Big Ape City in ''Donkey Kong Land''.
+This stage is based on the second level of the game, in which Mario must maneuver through obstacles such as vertically moving platforms, bouncing [[mariowiki:Springboard|jacks]], and {{s|mariowiki|Fire}}s. If Mario falls from a certain height, gets hit by the jacks, or touches a Fire, he loses a life. Mario also has a chance to earn more points by collecting items in the stage, which include a [[mariowiki:Pauline's items|hat, parasol, and purse]]. This stage is an accurate recreation of the 75m in the NES port of ''Donkey Kong''; though the ''Ultimate'' version makes small changes to closer resemble the original arcade version. However, the bottom-most platform is now in the background and cannot be landed on (in addition to jacks only appearing when Donkey Kong is in the foreground, instead of all the time as in the original game).
