****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I bought this game because it was the first one to use
Super Game Boy's palettes. But how does it play?

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: You play the original Donkey Kong, but with a lot more
puzzle elements, moves, and enemies. I loved the Donkey Kong series, I played
DK Classics a lot when I was a kid. So when I got DK on Game Boy, I expected
something similar. But it wasn't. I didn't find the puzzle elements too
appealing. I mean, what are you supposed to do when you beat all the levels?
Beating my times sounds boring. I wish I could play the classic edition over
and over again. Now that would be cool.

Liked: Hey, it's still Donkey Kong. For what it is as a game, it is good, and
I'm sure many, many people probably love this game.

Hated: I guess I'm Cranky Kong for wanting things to be retro again.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: A beautiful game. It shows off the Super Game Boy's
true colors (no pun intended). Even on the Game Boy it looks just as good.
Love the classic arcade frame on SGB.

Liked: Cool frame and fasciniating palette.

Hated: No big flaws here. If only CGB didn't ignore Super Game Boy.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: When you plug DK into a Super Game Boy, Paulina will
say "HELP! HELP!" Instead of "SQUEAK! SQUEAK!". I thought that was pretty
cool. I also liked that they kept that little beginning number that starts
the stage out.

Liked: Help! Help! 

Hated: Squeak! Squeak! (j/k) 

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Hold down and press A to do a backflip. Press B to
throw up your hammer so you can take it up to higher grounds. These new moves
add cool new originality to the game.

Liked: Cool moves.

Hated: Falling. It happens a lot.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Make one with a "classic" option.

RIYL: Retro arcade games and puzzle games like Lolo and Milon.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: If anyone is mad at me, sorry... I'm only being myself.
