Okay, so this is a weird one—someone took the original NES Donkey Kong Jr. and hacked it to run on the SNES. It’s still the same vine-swinging, fruit-collecting, Mario-dodging chaos, but now it’s got that slightly smoother 16-bit look. Feels like playing a childhood memory through a weird alternate universe filter.

You start off with Junior scrambling up ropes while those annoying Snapjaws try to knock you off. The controls are stiff in that classic NES way (no diagonal jumps here), but once you get the rhythm, it’s weirdly satisfying. The hack doesn’t mess with the level layouts, so if you remember where the hidden bonuses are, you’re golden.

Honestly, it’s more of a novelty for retro nerds than a must-play, but if you’ve ever wanted to see what this game would look like if it got stuck between console generations, here’s your chance. Just don’t expect any new levels or surprises—it’s pure nostalgia with a fresh coat of pixels.
