About

Imagine if instead of Super Mario Bros., they had created a 4th Donkey Kong game with the same gameplay… This game contains a redesigned World 1 and assets from the classic Donkey Kong games, Mario Bros., and Wrecking Crew. Mario must climb the ladder at the end of each level to make it to 1-4 where he must rescue Pauline.
