Summary

This is Colecovisions's version of nintendo's hit arcade classic donkey kong. Although its simalaritys are rather short, the only thing incommon between the two is the title. Jump man (or mario as he is now called) is purple. This may be due to the colecovisions low colour put-out but still is an eye catcher. Another main difference is defenatly the speed. Mario climbs ladders at an extreamly slow frame rate compared to the classic nes version; the speed is also noticed on aquiring the hammer pic up.

Although the structure is the same: 4 levels, one man, a monkey, barrels and princess peach. Which is a good thing do the donkey kong story is one of the most well nown amungs nintendo fans today.
