DONKEY KONG JR. (NINTENDO NES)

Donkey Kong Jr. is a 1982 platform game that was released by Nintendo. It's the sequel to Donkey Kong, but with the roles reversed from its predecessor: Mario is now the villain and Donkey Kong Junior is trying to save his father. It first appeared in arcades and, during the 1980s, was released for a variety of home platforms. The game title is written as Donkey Kong Junior in the North American arcade release and various ports to non-Nintendo systems.

The game was mainly designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and one of his colleagues. Miyamoto also created the title graphics with Yoshio Sakamoto. As with its predecessor, the game's music was composed by Yukio Kaneoka.
