[TAS] Arcade Donkey Kong Jr. by EZGames69 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2022-10-01
Donkey Kong Jr. is the sequel to Donkey Kong, where the forgotten titular character has to rescue his father Donkey Kong from Jumpman/Mario. It was released on several home consoles, including the ColecoVision ( tasvideos.org/... ) and the NES ( tasvideos.org/... ).
This run, however, plays the original Arcade version, more specifically, the Japanese version, as one single loop has all 4 individual stages of the game. EZGames69 ( tasvideos.org/... ) goes through all four stages in record time.

Things of note for official Mario canon and lore. -There are multiple Marios going by the intro, this may explain Mario's bizzare number of professions as well as why our current Mario is so nice compared to this -At least one of those Marios has the power to command animals to do his bidding -There is an official Mario Hideout

His brother is there.

I always forget diddy kong isn’t dks son since I’m so used to seeing them together. DK Jr rarely makes an appearance anymore it seems

[@shawnruby7011]

He's technically the current dk according to nintendo

[@KaguyaH]

@@shawnruby7011 DK Jr is Donkey Kong's Father. Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong's grandfather and the OG Donkey Kong from the arcade.

Isnt that copyrighted music at the start?

[@XanthinZarda]

No, and the flourish at the end is transformative. Mozart, Bach, DeBussy, they all existed _well_ before the terrible system of "rights" existed.

It's public domain meaning you can use it without permission from the original creators

Everyone talks about the NES release of Donkey Kong Jr. Actually seeing an actual intro and even just witnessing this Arcade version is awesome.

This takes me back

[@izagen_]

1:18 Mario's Hideout is some sort of Tourian, it seems

[@Koettnylle]

This has got to be the only game where Mario is the antagonist. Not sure if Mario Kart counts, but aside from that?

[@dansmith1661]

Mario is always stalking Peach in his games.

[@Koettnylle]

@@dansmith1661 I see it more as simping, but I see your point

[@FabioGnecco]

I love the ending lol Mario getting kicked is funny xD

[@FUGP72]

Of curse,l Arcade Donkey Kong Jr. doesn't go in this order...so...NOT arcade?
