Playing EVERY Single Version of Donkey Kong - The Lonely Goomba 

There's a lot of space between those two pipes to fit so many consoles or arcade machines.

The game:donkey kong Description:YES, THIS IS CERTAINLY PACMAN

There is a version of the NES game from Nintendo that added the missing stage. It's called Donkey Kong: Original Edition, for the now defunct Wii Shop Channel, and available now on the 3DS eShop. I have it on my 3DS. It's a 10 out of 10 for me.

The Atari systems are referred to as : Atari twenty-six-hundred and Atari seventy-eight-hundred.

(I noticed the arrows/metal nut or screws on the pie stages) so maybe look a it? but then again it’s so tiny, unnoticeable that it doesn’t help.

i like how much more you're uploading good job

Every time the pie stage is included the world rejoices

Pretty sure if you set Garfield on fire he'd just chalk it up to Mondays.

two donkey kongs?!?

Fun fact: It was Coleco who got the license to develop Donkey Kong for home consoles pre-NES; they deliberately made the Atari and Intellivision ports look terrible so their Colecovision would stand out.

It’s sort of weird to think about a time when Nintendo actually licensed their games to other consoles.

There's actually a version of the NES port for the 3DS that includes the pie factory stage. I think that counts as a different version.

Imagine if Mr. Goomba actually streamed 😮

If you want a real challenge, rank all of the Donkey Kong bootlegs.

the vic20 version is actually very impressive for the computer it is running on, the fact is the vic20 only has a text mode, so the whole game is running with text characters and nothing else

Gonna be honest, I didn't even know the pie stage existed until now.

lonely goombas shown more love for donkey kong in 6 months than nintendo has in 6 years

There was that modiefied NES version with the Pie level once released, called Donkey Kong: Original Edition. To my knowledge, it was only released for the special red Wii and 3DS Virtual Console, maybe also for Wii U VC but i'm not 100% sure about that.

*Waits 2 months for a Lonelygoomba video* Lonelygoomba: *Uploads a 30+ minute video* Me: *Grabs popcorn*

"It's on like Donkey Kong!" -Lonely Goomba when he had the idea for this video

24:13 I was not expecting this relationship between Kong and Doom. *Pinky Kong is freaking terrifying and that 8-bit Doom music was great.*

Even though he only uploads every month or two, it's always worth it when he does...

Just a bit of trivia but the Pie level is actually a Cement Factory! Which makes a little more sense given the construction angle of the old DK game. But those cement blobs sure look like pies. Why is the pie level (Cement Factory) missing on some of the home ports? It's all about a coding or licencing issue from Ikegami Tsushinki the one who program the arcade game. After the release of Donkey Kong Jr., the arcade successor to Donkey Kong, Ikegami sued Nintendo for the unauthorized duplication of the Donkey Kong program code. Nintendo managed to settle the dispute out of court after the two companies came to an agreement. At the time of the suit, computer programs were not considered copyrightable material. The Tokyo High Court gave a verdict in 1989 that acknowledged the originality of program code. Ikegami and Nintendo reached a settlement the following year; the terms of it were never disclosed.

This Goomba hasn’t changed a SINGLE bit and I’m glad

I've always imagined the standard Goombas talking in a rude and funny way, but this voice of a experienced man sounds perfect, somehow.

Soooo.... Every single version of Donkey Kong Jr. next?

Donkey Kong: **Exists** Any game producer in the 80s: It's free real estate.

"Welcome to part 60 of my DK marathon, today we rank every single sprite and 3d model of Donkey Kong from the original arcade Donkey Kong ALL the way to the Nintendo Switch"

Just stumbled on this video and i have to admit its just so entertaining, have to give credit where credit is due. I hope you make more like this in the future!

This is the equivalent of caddy playing the first 10 megaman classic games.

14:26: Seems logical. This version was released on the same year as Saturday Supercade, where our first glimpse of Mario's modern color scheme was presented.

You know, the fact that he’s able to access all of these likely means he’s no longer stuck between the two pipes.

It's frankly amazing how Nintendo made great LCD games on the Game & Watches, when companies like Tiger and whoever made the McDonald's happy meal LCD games made shit like THE WRIST GAAAAME

I would love to see you Make a PacMan episode of this series

Usually I don't agree with what you're saying about video games but I have to admit that you're absolutely right about every version of Donkey kong especially the worst of them with the pink demon Donkey kong.

Good grief, the TI 99/4A. That was my family's computer. We never had Donkey Kong, though.

I think the real reason we haven't gotten any actual new Donkey Kong games lately is because Nintendo's been busy trying to figure out how to live up to the glory of the Pie Stage

I swear, lonely goomba is going to be a donkey Kong focused channel

Donkey Kong in the Apple 2 version looks like he's wearing bondage gear lol

I really liked this video. Ever since i saw you were playing the DK ports, I knew this video was in the works. It was defiantly worth it! You're taking a risk, and I really appreciate it. Defiantly felt the effort that went into this video. This is exactly the content I like to see.

That moment when Goomba has basically become the world expert on original donkey kong basically by default, hah

6:45 LG: I like pie. What’s wrong with pie? RU-vid ad: Did somebody say “Domino’s Piece of the Pie App?”

Handhelds like that Coleco Tabletop and Tiger games honestly remind me of how the Game and Watch games had class and knew how to actually make something fun and creative with probably the strictest limitations you could ever give a game.

This just might be your lengthiest vid yet .

This man has been stuck in one place for almost a decade and still is alive... Legend

I knew this day we encounter the "other" versions.

you forgot the Nintendo 3DS version of the NES Port. (The only difference I can tell is that they added the Pie Stage)

Lonely goomba is too underrated

You forgot the Amiga version.

22:24 The virgin Jumpman vs the chad Donkey Kong

Bold of you to assume we would think you were doing a hands reveal when we know you are a Goomba with no hands.

I absolutely love donkey kong. Not just as a character but as a franchise. The originals, Country, even 64 are great to me. I've wanted somebody to talk DK for a while, and I don't see Nitrorad or Johnny vs. sayin' anything. Thanks, goomba for givin' a fan like me something to smile about today. :)

Goomba: I know I shouldn’t have trusted pies. they’re evil 2:48

You skipped the re-release of the NES Port on Wii that includes the pie level (you said you wont include emulated versions, but this case changes the game)

Two things I was kinda expecting you to include were a quick blurb about the Atari 2600 version's sound effects, and also the upgrade of the NES version that released in 2010 on the Wii Virtual Console, entitled "Donkey Kong: Original Edition", which notably includes 50m (the pie stage).

I saw this and I’m literally playing donkey Kong country 2 right now as I’m listening to this goomba and I said to myself how appropriate

"Guess I'll keep playing Donkey Kong, for the rest, of my life."

What has more ports? Tetris or Donkey Kong?

I’m very surprised that the British version of LJN known as Ocean made a great port of the Donkey Kong arcade game on the Amstrad CPC.

THE PIE IS A LIE! - Brought To You By The Cake Is Truth Foundation

This was a really fun video. I did indeed learn about a lot of Donkey Kong games that I didn't know existed. Heck, I'd say I didn't know about the majority of versions. Really interesting to see that there were some pretty good ports later on. I wish Nintendo would remake the game someday, with better controls, updated graphics, and maybe even some new levels. It's such a classic game that you'd assume they would treat it better than just porting the NES version occasionally. I really liked the music choice throughout the video too. I've been having a lot of DK Jungle Climber nostalgia due to your King of Swing tweets, and I also heard a lot of King of Swing music for the first time in the longplay I watched the other day. So it feels strangely relevant to me to hear those throughout the video. I admire your dedication for playing through all of these games. I don't know if I would have the patience to even try to get better at some of the worst ones.

Isn't there a version of the NES game on Virtual Console that puts the pie stage back in?

Finally, I am not on the Patreon screen 2 times anymore! XD I feared I'd be there 3 times last time I changed my name! XD

Actually, there's another version. Donkey Kong "special edition", released on the red Wii for Mario's 25th anniversary. The game is the NES version, but includes the pie factory. Since it is a NES rom, it can be extracted and played on a real console.

The Mac 2 version was so bad that it was the only game that made Goomba swear in this video!

honestly, that donkey kong thumbnail isn't cursed *checks smash and sees character alt never mind it is (look I had nothing clever at the moment)

I loved the dedication for this video

4:58 I'm still trying to find this bop of a song in the background. It's so beautiful, seriously. Does anybody know what this song is?

This made me wanna play Donkey Kong

The N64 version in DK64 is a bit harder with no lives, you should have included it.

Am I the only one that didn't even knew the pie stage existed at all?

I never knew they did a watch LCD port of the GB game 'til I saw this video XD

8:32 Mario's outfit reminds me of fixit Felix jr

Remember when the Lonely Goomba didn't talk about Donkey Kong all the time? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Chilling with Goomba right before an ad hits. Why do I wish all youtubers should do that.

Fun Fact: Nintendo gave Atari permission to use the donkey kong assets for the 2600 but they refused and made there own version

This is a better 40th anniversary gift to DK than what Nintendo's put out so far.

"Wait a minute. Demon? Pink? Hell? Pinky? Doom?? Doom was launched on the MS-DOS?! IT'S ALL CONNECTED!!!" XD

There's actually a later NES version of Donkey Kong that adds the missing Pie Stage! (It's cement by the way). It's Donkey Kong: Original Edition, and it's basically the same as the first NES version but with the missing stage added as well as some animations restored. It didn't actually release on the NES though, it was instead made years later as a Virtual Console game for the Wii, but only released on special Wiis in Europe, and then later as a limited-time thing on the 3DS. It is an actual normal NES rom though, and an NTSC rom at that despite its Europe release (meaning it was running at a slower speed than it's supposed to on VC in order to match PAL, but playing the rom itself on a normal emulator runs it at full speed), so it really is the definitive version of NES Donkey Kong.

Thing about the AtariSoft C64 port, it was meant for NTSC (so with the other AtariSoft ports, and the Atari 8-bit versions of many games). So they will be unbearably-slow on a PAL system. Also, over in your part in the world, the Wii VC got both official romhacks. DK got the pie factory and I believe the intro animation. Also Mario Bros. got an EU VC version that even includes the introductions for all the enemies.

Things Nintendo fans want most: Mother 3 and that elusive Pie Stage

My first LonelyGoomba video after being recommended for so long. I gotta say- love the proactive avatar, isn't too static and predictable like most animators but not artificial like VTubers.

I love how Donkey Kong in the thumbnail is like, "You're mine, too, little man."

In the Apple 2 version Mario looks like Grand Dad and I don't know what to think of that

The RU-vid algorithm blessed me with this channel again

Next up in the mid-2020s (likely 2023): “I Played EVERY Single Version of Mario Bros.” *Description/Spoilers* WORST: Atari 2600 version BEST/MOST UNDERRATED: GBA version

I loved this. Keep it up Goomba!

I just barely started, but the Donkey Kong 64 version has so many strange quirks I would consider counting it. It's like the arcade version squashed into the NES versions size and then you got weird things like the barrels in 25m rebounding way harder when they roll off girders

Its good to sse gomba again Also can we appreciate the amount of time he took to make this

Awesome video, I had no idea Donkey Kong got so many ports. BTW I can't believe no one has pointed this out but, you know how DK has an idle animation in most of these where he beats his chest (or flexing in the MSDOS version)? Well check out his idle in the ZX Spectrum and MSX versions, that's gotta be painful!

I remember a Guru Larry video saying that the Atari 2600 and Intellivision versions were made worse in puropse by Coleco to make the Colecovision version look as good as possible

Are you going to cover the versions of Donkey Kong Jr too?

Hi

Will you tackle Donkey-Kong Jr. next?

I looked up Donkey Kong DOS, and it does technically have the Pie Level.

Local depressed brown enemy talks about brown former enemy

For donkey kong; truly an inspirational speech.

I need a video with a Donkey Kong Jr. Versions

7:09 I though it was a brown version of the purple guy in Five Nights at Freddy's 🤣
