GAME DESCRIPTION

Here's the only official licensed DONKEY KONG(TM) game for
IntelliVision(TM)! In Coleco's home version of the sensational Nintendo
arcade game, you participate in the action-packed rescue adventure of man
against ape. Donkey Kong(TM) has stolen Mario's girlfriend and taken her to
the top of a steel fortress. Mario must climb to the top of the ramps to
save her while jumping over or avoiding the barrels Donkey Kong(TM) hurls
down at him.

When you get Mario to the top, Donkey Kong(TM) takes Mario's girlfriend
still higher--to the top of the rivet structure. Mario must knock out all
the rivets to save her.

Your skill and speed determine your point total. How high can YOU score
trying to rescue Mario's girlfriend?

GETTING READY TO PLAY

   * Make sure the Master Component is connected to the TV and power supply
     is plugged in.

   * TV should be on and tuned to the same channel as the Channel Select
     Switch on the console.

   * MAKE SURE MASTER COMPONENT IS OFF BEFORE INSERTING CARTRIDGE. Turn
     Off/On switch to On after cartridge is inserted.

USING YOUR CONTROLS

NOTE: For a one-player game, use the left controller. For a two-player
game, Player 1 uses the left controller; Player 2 uses the right
controller.

1. KEYPAD: Keypad Buttons are used to select a one-player or two-player
option and game difficulty. Then, use them to start playing.

2. DISC: Tilting the Disc to the left or right causes Mario to run in that
direction. Tilting it up or down while Mario is under or over a ladder
causes him to climb up or down the ladder.

3. SIDE BUTTONS: Pressing any Side Button causes mario to jump.

HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: If you are playing a two-player game, players take turns. Player 1
begins and each turn lasts untilt he player's Mario is eliminated.

STEP 1: Getting started.

Press any button on your keypad and the title screen appears. Next, answer
the questions which appear on the screen to select the type of game you
want. Press any keypad button to start the game.

STEP 2: Start at the bottom.

The first of your three Marios appears at the bottom of the ramps. Try to
move him up to the girder where his girlfriend stands.

STEP 3: Climbing the ladders of success.

To reach the ramp above or below, Mario must climb an unbroken ladder.
(Also notice that Mario can dodge barrels by climbing part of the way up a
broken ladder.)

STEP 4: Hammer away!

Learn just the right technique to jump up and grab a hammer. Mario uses the
hammer to hit barrels and fireballs for points. But watch out! If the
hammer misses a barrel or fireball and the barrel or fireball hits Mario,
Mario is eliminated. Mario can not jump or climb ladders while swinging the
hammer.

After a few moments, the hammer changes to bright green, then disappears.

STEP 5: Time is running out...

When mario removes the last rivet, Donkey Kong(TM) steals the girlfriend
away again! The game continues, and the action gets more and more
challenging.

Starting Over

If you want to replay the game with the same number of players and at the
same skill level, press the Disc or the Enter key. If you wish to change
either the number of players or the skill level, press the Reset Button on
the Master Component.

SCORING

The starting bonus is 6000 points for the first ramp screen, and increases
by 500 points for each subsequent screen until it reaches 8000 points.

on screen.
