Donkey Kong II was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released as part of the Game & Watch Multi Screen series, featuring two LCD screens. It was released in 1983. Donkey Kong Jr. has to touch a key, then it moves up to the top screen. Donkey Kong Jr. has to climb to the top screen while avoiding things such as electrical wires. When he gets to the top screen, Donkey Kong Jr. will have to touch the key again, and it will move to the keyhole of one of the chains. Donkey Kong Jr has to climb up the rope below the keyhole, while avoiding birds. When he gets to the top of the rope, one of the chains will unlock. He has to do this 4 times until he saves Donkey Kong. After that, the game will start over, at a somewhat faster pace.

Quite... an experience?

Pros: The only official Donkey Kong II in existence (yeah, they skipped 2 in the arcades and went from 1 to JR. then directly to 3... weird). It's a fine playing Game & Watch too, takes the basics of the DK Jr. Game & Watch and adds two screens, with the bottom being a version of stage 3 from DK Jr., and the top being a version of stage 4 from DK Jr., which are both probably more involved and challenging than the DK Jr. G&W as a whole.
Cons: it being more involved, isn't always a good thing, and the screen can get cluttered and confusing rather quickly.
What it means to me: First played this game in Game & Watch Gallery 3, and I really dug it! I just really love the novelty of this being the only official Donkey Kong 2 in existence, haha! So much so, that I actually bought the original Game & Watch of it, and it of course plays best that way too! A nice gold foil clam-shell G&W, with cute art of DK and DK Jr., really nice! Of course, I'm a DK fanatic, so I gotta be real, it's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea. I like it a lot though!
