Donkey Kong ‘94: Nintendo's Surprise Remake

Donkey Kong ‘94 is a classic, and it’s so much more than just a re-release of arcade Donkey Kong on the Game Boy. Nintendo really went the extra mile with this puzzle-platformer. I’d say it’s pretty much the company’s first remake.
This video dives into the details of that, going overall the new puzzle mechanics and other fun features that make the game stand out. There are some unavoidable puzzle solutions in the video though, so prepare to have a few of them spoiled.
If you want to play Donkey Kong ‘94 yourself, there aren’t any legitimate ways outside of an original Game Boy cartridge or a previous download from the 3DS Virtual Console. As of the time of this video, Nintendo has yet to add the game to the Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy library. Of course, this is the internet. If you want to find a way to play it, you certainly can…

A game that combines Mario bros(before super), Donkey Kong, Dk Jr, Diddy, Cranky, Bowser, wart, k.rool into one game

Good channel about donkey Kong

[@Vitorio582]

Super Mario All Stars was released a year prior though

[@FrameWorkVideo]

I think it's an issue of the originals' dates. Donkey Kong Arcade predates Super Mario Bros, but All Stars did come before '94 as you said. Either way, thank you for watching :)

@@FrameWorkVideo NP! It's a great video regardless

True, but that seems like more of a remaster. If I understand correctly, they even used a whole lot of the same code from the NES version. DK94 was definitely rebuilt from the ground up for the (Super) Game Boy.
