GAME DESCRIPTION

Mario has locked up Papa Donkey Kong, and Junior must hurry through a
treacherous jungle to free him. Racing against time, Junior climbs and swings
across vines and avoids dangerous creatures, all to reach a flashing key to
release his Papa. If Junior succeeds at this mission, the scene changes. Junior
must push keys to the top of long chains, once again avoiding clever opponents.
If he completes this test, he must climb the vines again - this time it's
tougher! Then he arrives at the high-flying Jump Board mission. Can you help
Junior save his father?

GETTING READY TO PLAY

Make sure the Master Component is connected to the TV and power supply is
plugged in. TV should be on and tuned to the same channel as the Channel Select
Switch on the console. Make sure the Master Component is OFF when inserting or
removing a cartridge. Fully insert cartridge, with label facing up, to the
indicator marks on both sides of the label. Turn OFF/ON switch to ON after
cartridge has been inserted.

USING YOUR CONTROLS

One-player game: Use the left controller.
Two-player game: Player 1 uses the left controller; Player 2 uses the right
controller. Player 1 goes first. Each turn lasts until the player's Junior is
eliminated.

Keypad: Use keypad buttons first to choose a one-player or a two-player game.
Then use the keypad buttons to select a game difficulty and to start playing.

Disc: The Disc controls Junior's climbing and running. Here's how it's done:

Climbing: If Junior is on a vine or chain, press the Disc up to make him climb.
Junior climbs two vines or chains faster than he climbs one.

Sliding: If Junior is on a vine or chain, press the Disc down. Junior slides
down one vine or chain faster than he slides down two.

Swinging: If Junior is on a vine or chain, press the Disc left or right to make
him swing!

Running: If Junior is standing on a girder or platform, press the Disc left or
right to make him run.

Side Buttons: Pressing either upper Side Button make Junior jump. Press an upper
Side Button while Junior stands still and he makes a standing jump. Press an
upper Side Button while Junior runs and he makes a running jump. In the Jump
Board screen, Junior can make a super jump. Here's how you do it: Make Junior
perform a running jump to the Jump Board. When Junior touches the board, you
press an upper Side Button. If you hit the button just right, Junior makes a
super jump. The lower Side Buttons are not used in DONKEY KONG, JR.

HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
Choose your challenge.

Press Reset and the Title Screen appears. Press any Keypad Button to make the
Game Option screen appear. Choose a one- or two-player game by pressing Keypad
Button 1 or 2. Choose a Skill from 1 through 4 by pressing the corresponding
Keypad Button.

Skill 1 is the easiest level, suitable for beginners. 

Skill 2 action is faster than Skill 1, but not as demanding as the arcade game. 

Skill 3 plays much like the arcade game. 

Skill 4 is more challenging than the arcade version! 

If you accidently make the wrong choice, press the Reset button and choose
again. When your selections are made, press any Keypad Button and the Get Ready
screen appears.

Start Climbing.

Junior starts in the lower left corner of the jungle. Make him jump to the
vines. Junior climbs two vines faster than he climbs one. But he can't climb
through a girder! Junior must be on an adjoining vine and above a girder before
stepping onto it. Watch out for the red and blue Snapjaws searching for Junior.
Touch a fruit directly above the Snapjaws and knock them out of play!

Capture the key.

Junior must capture the flashing key to the right of Mario. But he sends Snapjaw
after Snapjaw to try to stop Junior! Guid your little ape to the highest girder.
Grab a fruit and bonk a Snapjaw, or leap over the Snapjaw for points. If you
miss the key and fall onto Mario, Junior is eliminated. A new Junior must start
all over again.

Bonus!

While Junior's climbing, the Bonus Timer is counting down. When Junior reaches
the flashing key, the number appearing in the Bonus Timer is added to your
score. But time can work against you. If Junior fails to capture the key by the
time the bonus runs out, he is eliminated. A warning sound begins when time gets
short.

Chain champ.

Now that Junior's captured the key, he goes to the chain mission. Here he must
push keys up long chains to free his Papa. Red Snapjaws still chase Junior. But
Mario has a new trick, too: Nitpicker birds! They swoop down from Mario's girder
to snatch Junior on the chains. Don't let the Nitpickers get Junior. And
remember the biting Snapjaws! Touch a fruit directly above a Nitpicker and knock
it out of play.

Second time around.

So you think you're pretty clever. Surprise! It's time to climb the vines again
- with more opponents that chase Junior.

Bounce right, bounce high!

Again Junior starts in the lower left corner. But this time he must hop onto a
jump board to begin his mission. Press the jump button just as Junior touches
the board. If Junior jumps just right, he performs a super jump! Try to land on
a moving platform, then jump to a moving chain. Be careful not to slam Junior's
head on a platform - that will hurt him!

Birds and eggs.

Beware of the Stookybirds as you climb around the chain conveyor. In Skill
Levels 2 through 4, Stookybirds drop eggs to eliminate your struggling Junior.
Climb above the birds and bonk them with fruit. Swing to the far right and leap
to the highest platform. Try for the key!

One more time!

The jungle action gets wilder and wilder. The missions repeat, but each time,
they're harder! How good are you?

Starting over.

Press any Keypad button to start playing DONKEY KONG, JR. again!
