About this game

Junior sets out to free his father after Mario captures Donkey Kong. Climb and swing through vines and chains, avoiding Snapjaws and Nitpickers while reaching the keys needed to open the cage. The rescue reverses the roles of the earlier Donkey Kong game.

Archive notes

Main image uses the user-supplied transparent NES shell with this exact regional label, placed at uniform scale. This is a standardized display composite, not a physical-cartridge photograph or a print-ready label. The catalog reference and evidence type are described in the game and region notes; the collector reference separates USA catalog IDs from the actual visible printing. This display is not manufacturer authentication. Gameplay reference: Nintendo UK — https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/NES/Donkey-Kong-Jr-523767.html
