Nintendo has released several Mario and Donkey Kong LCD video games for the Game & Watch series.
Game & Watch games
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong was developed by Nintendo R&D1 as part of the Game & Watch Multi Screen series, featuring two LCD screens. Released in 1982, it is a port of the arcade game, where Mario is a carpenter attempting to rescue his girlfriend from an evil, or at least angry, ape. The device is Nintendo's earliest use of their cross-shaped D-pad.
Like the arcade Donkey Kong, Mario must climb a building while avoiding barrels, but beating the game is different from the arcade version. The player must trigger a lever on the upper screen, activating a hook, which Mario must then jump and catch. If the player succeeds, a peg will be removed and Mario will return to the starting point, but if the player does not, Mario will fall to the ground and lose a life. Removing all available pegs in this manner will cause Donkey Kong's platform to collapse, and he will fall to the ground.
A remake of the game was later featured in Game & Watch Gallery 2 (1997) and 4 (2002).
