DONKEY KONG JUNIOR

by Nintendo

Donkey Kong's Back!


Donkey Kong the ape is back. Only this time the vengeful Mario is holding the
ape prisoner. Luckily the ape has a son, Donkey Kong Junior, who will try to
rescue Papa.

To free his dad, Junior must make his way through a dark and treacherous
jungle. Racing against time, the little fellow climbs and swings across
vines, while avoiding the terrible Snapjaws.

If he reaches the keys to Papa's cage, Junior must push them to the top of
chains while staying clear of Snapjaws and a new flock of nasty Nitpickers.
But even then his mission isn't over. Once he reaches Mario's hideout, he
must pass yet another test against time.

The kid needs help. Don't just stand there! Help poor Junior save his father!


>> Getting Started

1. Plug a joystick into port 2.

2. Load the Donkey Kong Junior disk on your Commodore 64 or 128 (in C64 mode)

3. Move joystick forward or backward to choose 1 or 2 players.

4. Move joystick left or right to choose a difficulty level.

5. Press the fire button on your joystick to start the game. Junior
appears at the bottom of the first vine, ready to begin his rescue
mission.


>> Moving Junior

The joystick directs Junior's climbing and running, and the button controls his
jumping.

Climbing and Sliding

Move the joystick up to help the little ape climb up vines or chains;
move it down to help him slide down. Junior can climb up two vines or chains
faster than he can climb one. But he'll slide down one vine or chain faster
than he'll slide down two. Junior can't climb through platforms.

Swinging Through the Jungle

Move the joystick left or right to position the little
ape on the side of the vine or chain closest to his destination; then move
the joystick again toward the adjoining vine or chain.

Jumping

Press the fire button to make Junior jump in place while standing. Press the
button while Junior is running to make him jump in the direction he's facing.
To move from a vine or a chain onto a platform, move the directional level in
the direction of the platform. Junior must be on an adjoining vine or chain
and above the platform before he can move onto it.


>> Playing the Game

The game begins with three Juniors. The first Junior begins "Operation
Rescue" by climbing the vine just above him. He can't climb through a
platform, so move him around to the left, and then continue climbing. Guide
Junior through the jungle and up toward the key.

If you manage to reach the key, Junior's on his way to freeing Papa. But you
avoid the Snapjaws at all costs. When you reach the highest platform,
continue to avoid the Snapjaws, and go for the key.

You'll lose Junior if he falls off a vine or is caught by the Snapjaws.
You'll also lose Junior if he jumps off a platform, misses a vine, and falls.

While you're working your way upward, a bonus timer is counting down. If you
reach the key, the number in the bonus timer is added to your score. But time
can work against you. If you don't capture the key before the timer runs out.
Junior is a goner.

If Junior captures the key, he moves on to the springboard screen. He must
avoid the pesky birds and the Nitpicks on his way to the top.

Mario's hideout is next, where you must dash across coils and climb more
vines to reach the hanging vine at the top. To avoid the globes and sparks,
jump over them and keep moving toward Papa.

On the Chains screen, Junior must push six keys into the locks at the top
while avoiding Nitpickers and Snapjaws.

As long as there are Juniors remaining, you will return to the jungle and
start your mission all over again. The Snapjaws and Nitpickers make things
even tougher than they did before. The game is over if you lose the last
Junior during the rescue missions.
