Donkey Kong first arrived in the arcades in 1981 as the game that Shigeru Miyamoto designed to replace the ill-fated arcade game Radar Scope. It featured a mustachioed man in brightly colored overalls who would go on to achieve monumental fame and bring Nintendo great success. Originally simply called Jumpman and labeled a carpenter, he was eventually named Mario and became the iconic plumber we know today.
