The game begins with the four original levels from ''Donkey Kong''. RAfter completing those levels the game continued with 97 new levels, making a total of 101. The new levels are divided into the following worlds: Big-City, Forest, Ship, Jungle, Desert, Airplane, Ice Berg, Rocky Valley, and Tower. New gameplay mechanics are introduced as the game progresses. The new levels take on a puzzle-like gameplay shift, as the player's goal in most levels is to find a key and carry it to a door for completion of the level while avoiding various enemies and obstacles. Each level also contains three of Pauline's accessories which, if collected, would unlock a slot machine or roulette that could be played to earn extra lives. The player faces Donkey Kong every fourth level in a manner similar to the first three stages. Each world also ends with a boss fight against Donkey Kong in which he must be beaten by throwing his barrels back at him.

''Donkey Kong'' added new moves to Mario's arsenal. Mario triple jumped and back flipped in this game prior to ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Other new moves included throwing the hammer, doing a handstand to deflect falling objects, and swinging on a wire for extra height. Like in the original arcade game, Mario is defeated with just one hit, but when carrying an item, he will only drop it and be momentarily stunned when hit.

Along with the levels from the original ''Donkey Kong'', a few levels from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' were added. Level 2-4 was  Level 1 in ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' and Level 9-4 was Level 4. Also, [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] made an occasional appearance, helping out Donkey Kong.

[[Donkey Kong Jr.]] himself also makes sporadic appearances throughout the game, in which he adds to Mario's nuisances in order to aid his father.

If the player found all of Pauline's accessories, they were given the chance to play a bonus game. The game was either a slot machine or roulette. Player's that did well were given extra lives.
