'''Donkey Kong Jr.''' is a [[Game & Watch]] game released in the Widescreen format. It is the first of two Game & Watch games based on [[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|the Donkey Kong Jr. arcade game]], the second being the Multi-Screen [[Donkey Kong II]].

=Information=

Donkey Kong Jr. is based on the first two levels of the arcade game, and features the same scenario as [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] must save [[Donkey Kong|his father]] from [[Mario]]. Donkey Kong Jr. must avoid Snapjaws and Nitpickers and climb his way up to a platform. He then has to make a leap of faith, in order to grab the key to Donkey Kong’s cage which is swinging on a chain above. Donkey Kong Junior will have to repeat this process three times to save Donkey Kong.

Donkey Kong Jr. was later released for the Panorama and Tabletop Game & Watches. Both versions were identical to each other, but they were not the same as the Widescreen version. These versions had better graphics and sound. In these versions, Donkey Kong Junior had to move from the left side of the screen to the ride side after grabbing a key to one of Donkey Kong's four chains. To reach Donkey Kong and unlock the chain, Donkey Kong Junior had to climb vines and ride a set of falling umbrellas and rising balloons. Only Nitpickers appear in this version.
