Remake
Donkey Kong Circus
About this game
Donkey Kong Circus is a Game & Watch title released as part of the Panorama series. It is a remake of the second Mickey Mouse Game & Watch game, which was released worldwide seven months earlier. The two games' codes even seem to have gotten mixed up, with Mickey Mouse being model "DC-95" and Donkey Kong Circus being "MK-96. Neither the Panorama Screen Mickey Mouse nor Donkey Kong Circus was released in Japan. In the game, Donkey Kong, while balancing on a barrel, has to keep pineapples in the air while avoiding fire coming from flammable barrels.
Mario was a carpenter who had come in possession of a Kong and his son. Mario, unwittingly, mistreated the ape by putting him in a circus. In the circus, Donkey Kong had to use his legs to balance the barrel he was on, juggle pineapples, and avoid deadly flames.
