What Was the Original Donkey Kong?
The story of the original Donkey Kong takes us back to the golden age of arcade games and the pioneering spirit of developers who dared to create unique and engaging gaming experiences for the masses. The debut of Donkey Kong, back in 1981, marked a milestone in video game history and has gone on to influence generations of developers who seek inspiration in Nintendo’s iconic classic.
First Genuine Platform Game
Directed by Shigeru Miyamoto and programmed by Ikegami Tsunao, Donkey Kong defied the odds and reinvented the puzzle-platform formula. The original game pitted Jumpman (protagonist and later reborn as Mario) in a desperate battle to save a damsel in distress named Pauline from the clutches of a deranged ape – Donkey Kong. Set in the midst of an industrial contruction site, Jumpman’s journey involves climbing an endless series of ladders, dodging rolling drums, and traversing rope bridges to eventually confront his nemesis. This relentless pursuit of speed and excitement revolutionized gameplay mechanics while setting the foundation for other platformers that would shape the industry for years to come.

Such is the complexity and cultural richness of beloved gaming tales.

For Miyamoto san, the legendary creator responsible for Mario’s existence alongside his trusty bro Luigi, decided that this dynamic duo had only four names: ‘Mario 1, Luigi, MARIO, LUI,‘ (and Mario was named after the chef Antonio Mario, you see)… and thus – no doubt, with precision, that Mario and Luigi, each, would later share exactly the same birth and parental lineage – yes, simply, brothers: Mario Mario** and Luigi Mario. Hence, in many an aficionado’s recollection today, these renowned gaming legacies remain eternal in Mario’s eyes…
