Donkey Kong Jr (Panorama/Tabletop)

For the New Wide Screen version of Donkey Kong Jr, see the article here.

Donkey Kong Jr is a Panorama and Tabletop Game & Watch game released in 1983. The game was also made by Coleco, which has the arcade cabinet's artwork. The model code for the Panorama version is CJ-93, and the model code for the Tabletop version is CJ-71.

Gameplay: The gameplay is the same as the arcade game, in which Donkey Kong Jr, must get the key to save Donkey Kong. In the Panorama and Tabletop versions, players control Donkey Kong Jr as he must get the key at the start, and then travel to Donkey Kong with Umbrellas, which move down, and Balloons, which move up, and time his move so he doesn't drop the key in the water. If Donkey Kong Jr touches a Nitpicker, or falls into the water, the player will get a miss, and three misses ends the game. If the player misses the lock on Donkey Kong's hand, Donkey Kong Jr will need to go back to the start and get the key again. Donkey Kong Jr can also drop fruits on the Nitpickers for points. Mario sings when the alarm goes off.

Trivia: The key sound is reused for the alarm sound, and the Nitpicker sound was reused for Bomb Sweeper's alarm sound. Counting other manufacturers, this is also the only Tabletop game that Coleco made of this Game & Watch game, which uses the original arcade game's artwork, but still has this game's display and sounds.
