5:49 DK Jr.: You're still here? Mario: I'm going. I'm going.

The way the music restarts after EVERY sound effect on the Intellivision version would drive me insane.

6:16 My favorite part is when it beeped lol

Mario looks like a little cowboy in the Colecovision and Coleco Adam versions.

5:52 Donkey Kong: NOW WITH BEARD

5:51 Me: Mom can I buy a NES with Donkey Kong on the side Mom: No honey we already got you the ZX Spectrum and the game just enjoy it! Me: :(

2:15 Trust me, anything is better than depression, and we finally know what depression looks like.

2:47 This Jump Sound is a bit Funny

2:46, I wasn't expecting to see a version of Mario that looks like a Smurf. Or DK and DK Jr to be replaced by Eddie and Eddie Jr for that matter.

5:53 You good Donkey Kong Jr.?

5:14 Donkey Kong looks like a zombie.

The GBA e-Reader version is special to me. It's the first game I ever finished the story of on my own. Sure, it was only 4 stages, but it was challenging to me at 9 years old and not having played arcade platformers like it before. Nowadays, I play the NES port mostly but can honestly say the 7800 port is good as well. Seeing Junior reunite with his dad still brings a tear to my eye :)

Me: Mom can we have Donkey Kong Jr? Mom: we have Donkey Kong Jr at home Donkey Kong Jr at home: 5:51 [EDIT] Too many replies for my 2 braincells, also i fixed the reply saying just DK instead of DK Jr.

There's also a nice homebrew version released for the C64 by Mr SID in 2014. On the Spectrum version it looks more like Donkey Kong sr is trying to free Houdini from a plump pirate... which is pretty cool actually!

5:42 DK Jr flips an enemy off lol Man the Atari 7800's sound bank/chip sounded awful. Love these comparison videos, thanks for making them.

5:06 I like how jump man goes from a sherif to normal jump man.

5:52 A gorilla that will save a naked man before some farmer kills the Gorilla this is your accurate Donkey Kong Jr.

2:15 Gingerbread Ape Jr., just like Gingerbread Ape. 🦧 🦧

I think the Nes version is the superior one. Had better controls than the arcade.

i love how in the zx spectrum version the game halts when you kill an enemy

The Colecovision only came out 1 year before the NES came out in Japan. So it is no wonder that its version of DKJ is comparable to the NES version. Makes you wonder what would have happened if Coleco had survived the great video game crash. Could the Colecovision have competed with the NES in the 8-bit era?

I like the NES version

On the Spectrum version DK Jr. looks like he's having a seizure when climbing the vines lol

The ZX Spectrum is very weird, including the graphics and color. BBC Micro is less weird, it’s just the music, graphics and color (I said it again). And The NES was my Favorite ❤️

6:02 haha croc boi go BRRRRRRRRRR

Whenever I feel like a failure, at least I can remember that I’m not the ZX Spectrum version of donkey kong jr.

There's also another thing that's really cool in Donkey Kong Junior on the Coleco Adam. They managed to include a 5th level when you input a code at the selection screen. The level is supposed to be a kitchen at Mario's hideout, where Mario tries to drop pans of dough on Junior while he navigates through the kitchen. You can even drop fruit on Mario and stun him, which makes the Donkey Kong death sound!

Let’s Compare Donkey Kong Jr 1: Arcade (1982) 2: Colecovision (1983) 3: NES (1983) 4: Atari 2600 (1983) 5: Intellivision (1983) 6: Atari 8-Bit Family (1984) 7: Coleco Adam (1984) 8: BBC Micro (1984) 9: Zx Spectrum (1984) 10: Famicom Disk System (1988) 11: Atari 7800 (1988) 12: Nintendo E-Reader (2002)

NES/Famicom version has the best and most memorable sounds.

2:20 Ahhhh love the noices

5:51 ZX Spectrum

ZX Spectrum has everything weird and funny to me. Edit #1: OH GOSH 100 LIKES THANK YOU SO MUCH Edit #2: 111 LIKES? THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE I LOVE YOU

Not gonna lie, I quite like Junior's climbing sprites in the Coleco versions, which is more than can be said about the way he climbs in the ZX Spectrum version on his way to rescue what looks like an abominable hybrid between Pac-Man and the AoStH incarnation of Dr. Robotnik...

I love Atari Gingerbread Kong😍

The only game where Mario is the villain.

The arcade one told the story better than the nes one

Me:Mom can we have DK Junior at home? My mom:We already have DK Junior at home DK Junior at home: 5:52

Wait, you're telling me that 2:16 and 1:40 were both released in the same year?

I swear I friggin love how ZX spectrum version sounds so stupid and hilarious at the same time,god the part when jr jumps,when you hit an enemy,dk growing a big moustache,and the music Itself. Holy hara the ZX spectrum version is friggin ridiculous! XD

This is why I had a Colecovision as a child.

Actually impressed by the Coleco versions, especially compared to its contemporaries.

At 3:07 it sounds like Megaman death sound 😂

Me: Mom can we buy Donkey Kong JR? Mom: We alredy have Donkey Kong JR at home. Donkey Kong JR at Home: 2:15

The third one in the thumbnail looks like a baby yeti

ZX Spectrum is the oddball versions.

This is probably one of the reasons they don’t license out characters to other consoles...

7:23 the class clown at school 5:51 the class clown at home

2:15 when your poop has blood in it:

I couldn't have asked for a better thumbnail. This was great video nan

So: The Nintendo releases besides e-Reader (so arcade, NES, Famicom Disk System) are the best versions, obviously. The Coleco releases look and sound pretty solid, and I actually prefer the Coleco versions of the enemies - they look a lot bigger and more intimidating imo. e-Reader's screen flicker is the e-Reader version's biggest flaw, and honestly, we're probably seeing why e-Reader didn't go anywhere. Atari did alright for the Atari 8-bit family, with quality starting to rival the Coleco versions, though the pallet is kinda grating, though credit where it's due: It seems much more in-character for Wario to be the one kidnapping gorillas. The 7800's quality is as good as the arcade version, except someone sat on it so they have to sell it as-is and hope they don't lose too much on it, what with its squished graphics and grating sound design. BBC Micro is in a similar situation to Atari 8-bit, but worse on so many levels, all of which are summarized by that nightmare in the cage pretending to be Donkey Kong. Intellivision is functional but the awful sound effects and simplified graphics don't do it any favors. Other versions would have to work to be worse than Intellivision, and boy, does Atari 2600 work. It doesn't even look like the same game and the depressing lack of music coupled with the grating sound effects makes it all the worse. Also, where's the fruit? _Your imagination._ ZX Spectrum is better in that it's more colorful, and Junior actually looks like a gorilla...except they kinda went overboard on both fronts - Junior straight-up looks like a fully grown ape and the pallet bleed is a seizure waiting to happen. In conclusion I need a banana.

5:54 Oh no, these sprites. And I thiught the 2600 ones were bad.

I think the famicom disc system version is the same as the NES/Famicom version

Thumbnail be like: Left: the original A bit to the right: still close to the source sprite Even more to the right: Uhhh that's still somewhat the same DKJR sprite I guess Right: what

the thumbnail: Heh, the bit wars.. (high pitched voice) 64 bits. (deeper voice) 32 bits. (normal voice) 16 bits. 8 bits! 4 bits!! 2 BITS! 1 BIT!!! HALF BIT!! QUARTER BIT!!! THEEEEE WRRRRRIIIIIIIISTTTT GAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

My dad has The zx spectrum when he was a kid

Arcade: old Nes: remade ZX spectrum: the stuff of nightmares

In the Coleco versions, JR looks like he is risking his life just to save his papa from Mario. Sad

2:45 Sound = no music

4:37 Jump Pitch Glitch

Donkey Kong junior but the quality dips every time the level ends

5:51 ZX Spectrum´s Hospital Music

I’m so used to the nes version, that it sounds off to me when I hear the sound effects in the arcade original

To compare the ColecoVision to The Coleco Adam, I have to say the Adam is better because there are more brighter colors than the ColecoVision

Theres also a C64 port that was done a Few years ago, its pretty well done compare to others ports from the 80s

I like atari 7800 version

Don’t know why, but I feel like Donkey Kong Jr looks better on the Coleco ports. And I do like the Wild West style that Jumpman is going for in those ports as well.

Excelente o vídeo...gostei muito. Velhos e bons tempos...

Every other version: (fine) Intelevision: STOP INTERUPTING MY MUSIC!! GODDAMNIT!

Gotta give the Atari 2600 credit for having animated water.

the music of this game's first level was reused in donkey kong country returns' secret final level (or the last level of the secret world in donkey kong country returns 3D)

Wow. I didn't know their were alot of verisons of Donkey Kong Jr.

When donkey kong jr finishes the level on the atari 7800 the sound is weird

The Way Donkey Kong Jr Climbs In The ZX Spectrum 😂😂 5:53

4:00 dk smb 1

I've only played the arcade and NES versions in my lifetime but I do gotta say the "Jumpin Monkeys Jump Jumpin Monkeys" theme thumps pretty hard on the coleco. lol

6:49 カメラ目線

個人的には死ぬほどやり込んだゲーム&ウォッチ版が一番印象深いですね。

I liked the 2600 version, it was one of my favorite games back then. I didn't find out it sucked until the internet told me in the 2000s.

5:51 nobody didn’t watched/filmed the fully gameplay

Colecovision 1983 my favorite

The zx spectrum one is awesome it’s so funny

The Coleco vision is the best non Nintendo Made port they did a good job representing something on a not so great Consol and the ZX spectrum well I just that’s just a horror movie

ZX Spectrum is CLEARLY the best.

I really want the ZX Spectrum to leave.

My favorite version is NES

My Favorite Version Famicom Disk System

Who ever made the Zx spec one definitely had something in their punch

It is odd for in the Coleco version Jr’s eyes go from black to brown depending on his action.

I'm so proud of the NES :)

*Sheds a tear* Donkey Kong Jr. please come back!!!! ;-;

My favorite of the DK arcade trilogy!!!

The NES version is the best for playing at home

Mario in the colecovision version be like: you've yee'd your last haw!

Sounds like a gun shot every time he lands on the ground in the arcade.

Basically on the atari 2600 the son of his dad's gingerbread is catched by Mario and his son is gonna try to save his dad from mario

I’m not truing to offend anyone,but I think the arcade Donkey Kong Jr is the best out of all of them Edit:I think it is the best cause of the cutscene when you get one of the keys

Huh. Didn't know there was a port for the ZX Spectrum.

Do you not know that you can climb up two vines at once twice as fast?
