Donkey Kong 1994 Video Game : Gameplay:

The game starts with four levels, just like the original Donkey Kong game. In here, Mario has to reach the top level. Only then can he save Paulina.

After finish all 4 stages, the typical arcade game will begin. Donkey Kong again revives( following some notes from the “victory theme”). He captures Pauline again and leaves with her, with Mario giving chase. After this, the player gets additional 97 stages, which is not limited to just one world, but a total of 9 worlds. Maria has to fight Donkey Kong, who is now much larger, and a mutated version in the final stage.

In the upcoming levels, the player has to guide Mario to find a key by completing each level. He has to pick it up and put it elsewhere on the stage to a locked door. Every level of the fourth is “battle level.” In here, the players either have to try to hit Pauline. Just like the original stages or to overthrow Donkey Kong with his own barrels. Extra lives can be earned through mini-games, unlocked by collecting in each level three special items, or after each package based on the total unused time.

Anytime, Mario can flip on his hands, enabling him to take dropped barrels. He can also jump higher by rotating his jumps or by jumping in the direction that shifts.
