It's a good game, but overrated.

Yes, the graphics are relly good for SNES. That shouldn't be the selling point for the series, even though the game itself is pretty fun. It's a solid game and you should at least check it out. Graphics: 5/5, sound and music: 5/5, fun 5/5. Overratedness: 4/5. Not necessarily in the 100 best of SNES.

excellent game!

i have this game for the nintendo and it's hard and easy at the same time!!! first the bad guys in each level you cannot touch them except you touch their heads or you bounce off their head and they fly off the screen just like turtles in time (i can't find that one but if you do pick it up!) anyway the main bosses are sorta difficult but are easy almost i can't get past the second level in the third world where the lights go on and off all the time! it's like you have to jump because i land on moving platforms and i fall "ALL THE WAY DOWN" to the bottom(no blood or splattered anything) you just get a restart or the most famous words in video game history "game over" ahhh barnicles!!!!
i guess i'll beat it some day in the future but right now i'm stuck on it. oh well maybe someday i'll get unstuck but i do wish they added a feature to save after every level.

#1 best, hit me if ya disagree. Love the mine ride origional!"

Fun? 5* = because of all of the fun.

Overall? 4* = cuz of all of the fun, the greatness, and dot dot dot...the only reason that it was 4 not 5 is the graphics were not in 'the upper echelon of the best usage of the system' (like donkey kong country 2 and 3 but with better game but worse graphics usage).

Killer-killer game, y'alls.

They say hindsight is 20/20...This game wasn't as great as I remembered.

What's sad is that this game seemed like a huge achievement back in '94. Maybe I was too young to realize it back then. Maybe it was lack of experience. I thought this game rocked when it first came out, and unfortunately I'm no longer sure why.

To me, it seems this is a fairly average platformer wrapped up in a beautiful package. The graphics were novel and unique at the time, but I guess now I just think they're awkward and weird looking. My main beef with the game is the control and the frustrating level design. The mine cart stages and the ones where you have to fire yourself from barrel to barrel...somehow I beat this when I was 6. I can't fathom how I did that now.

Another minor problem is that the bosses are all pretty easy. Four hits usually does the trick.
I don't recommend re-playing this oldie. Unlike Sonic and Mario World, this one may be better left as a childhood memory.

WOW!! Too good to be true!

This game is breath taking! I just ordered my SNES w/7 games off ebay (The greatest site ever!). I knew I should have saved this game from 95. This is the coolest game by far (especially the warterfall level) you have to get this!

OK for a SNES platformer...

This is one of the better SNES platform games (since the SNES does have a number of platformers that are not Nintendo's best). The story is creative and strange since it involves monkeys (why do they call a monkey Donkey we'll never know). The gameplay is excellent and graphics are decent. The game can be beaten without much help but with a lot of work and timing. The fault is that it is not really addictive. You play it for a week and then store it away and take it out later. This is otherwise good and you should definitely pick up a copy.

SIMPLE AND FUN!

Donkey Kong is a great game for everyone because it is fun for children and adults. The Donkey Kong world is so easy to understand yet so animated. Unlike the 360 degree SD worlds that are too complex, Donkey Kong is easy to understand yet challenging in that you must "fight off your enemies" which is the main point anyway. Also, the worst that happens in this game is you throw a barrel at a crocodile or rat. No guns, no violence, or anything inappropriate for kids.

DK Rules!!!

This was the best Donkey Kong game ever! Why? Well for one thing, it has undeniably the best graphics on the Super Nintendo. Of course, a game can hardly be judged by the quality of its graphics, as any true gamer knows. The characters are interesting, the gameplay is fun(even if it is easy), and it has a pretty good story. This is definitely a classic game for the SNES. It's fun no matter how many times you beat it!

awesome
