Stage 2-12 is the final level in theForest and a boss battle withDonkey Kong in theGame Boy version ofDonkey Kong.
Layout[edit]
Mario starts below the platform with Donkey Kong, there areJump Stands on both sides springing him up to higher platforms with Jump Stands springing up to even more platforms with more Jump Stands that can spring him up to two platforms where it is the best place to throwbarrels back at Donkey Kong who stands on the middle platform withPauline on a platform above him withladders connected to them.
Enemies[edit]
- Barrels
- Donkey Kong (boss)
Battle[edit]
The battle with Donkey Kong is similar to the battle in theBig-City, except withJump Stands present. Donkey Kong throwsbarrels which, if he simply rolls them from the sides, will make their way down to where Mario was, then continuing rolling until they hit a wall, stand right-side up and can be picked up. If Donkey Kong throws them from the sides, they are sent off-screen and eventually fall down along the platforms in a zig-zag-like manner. If Donkey Kong throws a barrel straight down, once they hit the ground, they turn right-side up and can be picked up at that point. Once Mario has picked up a barrel, he must use the Jump Stands to get up to Donkey Kong and throw the barrel at him to damage him. Donkey Kong takes three hits to defeat, so Mario must repeat the process two times to defeat Donkey Kong. Once Donkey Kong is defeated, the level ends but he gets up again, grabs Pauline, and runs off.
Cutscene after level completion[edit]
Donkey Kong runs out of theForest and jumps onto aShip to get away from Mario. He then puts Pauline down and laughs as he knows Mario cannot make the jump onto the ship and will fall into the gap. Mario arrives and gets the idea to use therope; Donkey Kong, surprised at this, grabs Pauline again and runs while MarioWire Spins onto the ship and continues chasing Donkey Kong before the cutscene ends. The player is then given lives based on their score.
