Donkey Kong

Description

Debuting in 1981’s arcade classic, Donkey Kong introduced both the titular ape and Mario (then “Jumpman”), conceived by Shigeru Miyamoto. It helped define the platforming genre. The series evolved from simple barrel-dodging to expansive adventures like Donkey Kong Country, blending inventive level design, memorable music, and a cast of simian allies. Over four decades, it’s spanned platformers, racers, rhythm games, and more, selling over 83 million copies
