Second Game in the Donkey Kong Series — Donkey Kong Junior

Donkey Kong Junior was the second video game in the Donkey Kong video game series. It was produced by Nintendo, Inc. and released in August 1982 as a follow-up to the wildly successful 1981 game Donkey Kong.

It was also the second game where the character named “Mario” appeared in a video game. Mario has since been used in a number of Nintendo-produced games, as well as the characters of Donkey Kong and his son Donkey Kong, Jr.

Donkey Kong Junior was released on a number of home consoles and in a standup arcade cabinet.
