GAME DESCRIPTION

Marion• has locked up Papa Donkey Kong™. and Junior must hurry through a treacherous jungle to free him. Racing against time, Junior climbs and swings across vines and avoids dangerous creatures, all to reach a flashing key to release his Papa. If Junior succeeds at this mission, the scene changes. Junior must push keys to the top of long chains, once again avoiding clever opponents. If he com­pletes this test, he must climb the vines again – this time it’s tougher!

• Start climbing.
  Junior starts in the lower left corner of the jungle. Make him jump to the vines. Junior climbs two vines faster than he climbs one. But he can’t climb through a girder! Junior must be on an adjoining vine and above a girder before stepping onto it. Watch out for the red and blue Snapjaws searching for Junior. Touch a fruit directly above the Snapjaws and knock them out of play!

• Capture the key.
  Junior must capture the flashing key to the right of Marior”‘. But he sends Snapjaw after Snapjaw to try to stop Junior! Guide your little ape to the highest girder. Grab a fruit and bonk a Snapjaw, or leap over the Snapjaw for points . If you miss the key and fall onto Marion•, Junior is eliminated. A new Junior must start all over again.

• Bonus!
  While Junior’s climbing, the Bonus Timer is counting down. When Junior reaches the flashing key, the number appearing in the Bonus Timer is added to your score. But time can work against you. If Junior fails to capture the key by the time the bonus runs out, he is eliminated. A warning sound begins when time gets short.

• Chain champ.
  Now that Junior’s captured the key, he goes to the chain mission. Here he must push keys up long chains to free his Papa. Red Snapjaws still chase Junior. But Marion• has a new trick, too: Nitpicker birds! They swoop down from Mario’sn.< girder to snatch Junior on the chains. Don’t let the Nitpickers get Junior. And remember the biting Snapjaws! Touch a fruit directly above a Nitpicker and knock it out of play.

• Second time around.
  So you think you’re pretty clever. Surprise! It’s time to climb the vines again -with more opponents that chase Junior.

• Bounce right, bounce high!
  Again Junior starts in the lower left corner. But this time he must hop onto a jump board to begin his mission. Press the jump button just as Junior touches the board. If Junior jumps just right, he performs a super jump! Try to land on a moving platform, then jump to a moving chain. Be careful not to slam Junior’s head on a platform -that will hurt him!

• Birds and eggs.
  Beware of the Stookybirds as you climb around the chain conveyer. In Skill Levels 2 through 4, Stookybirds drop eggs to eliminate your struggling Junior. Climb above the birds and bonk them with fruit. Swing to the far right and leap to the highest platform. Try for the key!

• One more time!
  The jungle action gets wilder and wilder. The missions repeat, but each time, they’re harder! How good are you?

• Starting over.
  Press any Keypad button to start playing DONKEY KONG, JR.n” again!
