It's time to hang from vines as we vilify Mario and save Donkey Kong in our Donkey Kong Jr. 40th Anniversary Retrospective!

It's not a game either of us had much experience with as kids, but in spite of that it has retained a cult following for its varied levels, departure from the usual Arcade formula, and prominence as the second game in the Donkey Kong franchise.

Before setting off to save our dad, we do a deep dive on the fascinating development and history of Donkey Kong Jr, and catch up on our recent gaming habits!

Happy 40th Anniversary Donkey Kong Jr.!
