Mario plays the bad guy here, cracking a whip and sending Snapjaws down the vines after Junior. Nintendo released the arcade game in 1982 and brought it to the NES in North America in 1986. The NES version keeps all four arcade stages: the jungle vines, a springboard stage, an electrified stage full of Sparks, and the final stage where Junior pushes keys up chains to open his father's cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClimbing, dropping fruit and dodging Snapjaws\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunior climbs faster holding two vines and slides down quicker holding just one, a small detail that shapes every route. Snapjaws crawl along the vines, Nitpicker birds swoop down and drop eggs, and Sparks race along the wires in the electric stage. Junior can knock fruit loose to fall on enemies below, taking out everything it hits on the way down for bonus points. Game A and Game B set the difficulty, and two players can take turns chasing a high score.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOld NES carts and what to look for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook for a label without major tears and contacts at the bottom that are free of heavy dirt or green corrosion. NES cartridges usually start fine once the pins are clear, though the console's own connector matters as much as the cart. Donkey Kong Jr. works on North American NES consoles, both the front-loading original and the top-loading model. The sleeve, box and manual are included only if the title says so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDonkey Kong Jr.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhysical format\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArcade platformer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1986\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlayers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 to 2 (alternating)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-owned, individual cosmetic condition varies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBox, manual and accessories\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirm individual item contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this game\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does Donkey Kong Jr. play on NES?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a single-screen arcade platformer.
