When '''Donkey Kong Jr.''' showed up in the arcades in 1982, it demonstrated Shigeru Miyamoto's ability to not only create a sequel in terms of game play, but a spiritual successor in terms of story. Donkey Kong Jr. wasn't a traditional follow up to other popular arcade games that featured the same play with some enhancements. Jr. told the next chapter in the ongoing saga between Mario and [[Donkey Kong]], and introduced Kong's son as the new hero. With four new diverse settings, Donkey Kong Jr. expanded the Mario universe in a harmonious way. | When '''Donkey Kong Jr.''' showed up in the arcades in 1982, it demonstrated Shigeru Miyamoto's ability to not only create a sequel in terms of game play, but a spiritual successor in terms of story.

This time around, Mario is not the hero but the would-be villain (although you can't blame good hearted Mario for being upset with Donkey Kong for trying to steal his girlfriend.) Once Mario caught Donkey Kong, he imprisoned him in a cage. Whatever he is planning on doing with him, Donkey Kong Jr. must rescue his father before he finds out. Climbing from the bottom of each stage to top before time runs out, while Mario keeps Donkey Kong just out of reach until Jr. can find a way to free papa once and for all. | This time around, Mario is not the hero but the would-be villain (although you can't blame good hearted Mario for being upset with Donkey Kong for trying to steal his girlfriend.)
