As the sequel to Donkey Kong, this is an alright follow-up. The game is essentially a role reversal of the last one, where Mario is now the villain, and DK Jr. has to save the original Donkey Kong, except this time around, it isn't as good. The graphics are good enough, the music is good, the designs are cartoony and fun to look at, and the gameplay is... frustrating. Climbing instead of jumping isn't as fun, and it can be a struggle, especially with how fast you go down and up, depending on what position you are on the vines. Overall though, it is an acceptable sequel to the original game, but not one I would go out of my way to play again.
