DONKEY KONG JUNIOR

• 2 versions exist!  The Japanese version is titled Donkey Kong Jr. (picture #1) and allows up to 12 characters on the high score table (picture #2); the U.S. version is called Donkey Kong Junior (picture #3) and only allows up to 3 characters on the high score table (picture #4). 

• Slow down trick - On the 1st screen go to the 2 upper right vines.  With a hand on each, keep pushing UP and the “action” will slow down.

• Infinite lives - In a 2-player game, player 2 must do this trick every turn to give both players an extra life.  On the 1st screen, player 2 goes to the right edge of the platform (where you start), as far as possible without falling.  Wait until a blue Snapjaw comes down the vine, and jump at him, hitting him the same time he hits the water.  The screen will go blank and then read "PLAYER ONE".  Player one will have the same score and amount of reserve lives, but will have returned to level one.

• Seven extra lives - In a 2-player game, lose all of player one's lives.  On player two's last life, jump into the water at the same time a blue snapjaw falls.  The screen will read "GAME OVER PLAYER ONE" but player one will come back to life with 7 lives!

• BUG: As with Donkey Kong, there is a kill screen with this game as well.
