- Most of these copy cats include platforms and ladders with an enemy (usually a monkey or gorilla) at the top, throwing obstacles down. Some are almost exact clones of the original Donkey Kong.

all of twitter hates you now
They can't handle the truth
This certainly helps explain why Nintendo has remained so protective of their IP even to this day.
You missed one of the best clones of that era, "Cannonball Blitz" for the Apple II, released in 1982, give it a look when you get the chance, you won't be disappointed.
I was also going to comment about this! I enjoyed that version in between bouts of programming back in the 80's!
Imagine being in a business where you have the opportunity to CREATE anything you want.. but instead just copy someone else's idea. These devolopers should've worked at a papermill.
Mr. Don's castle at 6:58 - that's neat with the "stairs" shifting like that! put that on for phones now - bingo
How could ghe TRS-80 CoCo have such good animations in Donkey King?
I'm surprised that you chose the 2600 version of Kangaroo rather than the Arcade original.
Nah that’s the 5200 version, or the 8-bit family version? Idk
Fun Fact: Mario’s Brewery would later become Pubjumper Mario.

It haves nostalgic songs
Do Dunkey Kingo (ZX Spectrum)
Some of these are not DK Clones. Miner 2049er is the world's first "Real estate Platformer". Mr Do is an imporvement over Space Panic. Kangaroo has a few new things. Springer was unique. But some were just obvious DK ripoffs.
Springer looks a lot like the bonus area of Ice Climber but it predates it so I wonder if Nintendo borrowed it like how they borrowed from Joust for Balloon Fight.
Some of these are just platformers, not DK ripoffs. Also next time can you do some of the text mode donkey kongs? I believe they existed for commodore PET, kaypro/Osborne/cpm, and pc.
Why does Donkey King throw communion wafers at the hero?
In my opinion, I kinda wouldn’t say manic miner is a clone. You would have to walk EVERYWHERE to complete the level. But I see the resemblance.
Mr. Do's Castle is NOT a clone/copy of Donkey Kong!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not gonna lie, this is a pretty bad list. Quite a few aren't clones at all. If something involves platforms and ladders isn't it better to call it inspired by DK rather than copying it?
Once again...do SOME research. Kangaroo is most defintiely not a clone of Donkey Kong.
