Donkey Kong for Game & Watch is a port of the arcade game, where Mario is a carpenter trying to rescue his girlfriend from an evil ape. It was developed by Nintendo R&D1.
Like the arcade Donkey Kong, Mario must climb a building avoiding barrels. But beating the game is different from the original game. Mario must also trigger the lever on the upper screen, activating a hook. Then, Mario needs to jump and catch the hook; If he doesn't catch the hook, he'll fall on the ground and lose a life, and if he does, a peg will be removed and Mario will return to the starting point. Removing all pegs cause the Donkey Kong's platform to collapse, making him fall on the ground.
