'''Donkey Kong Jr. Math''' is an early [[NES]] game that was made primarily for education purposes. It uses characters and scenarios from ''[[Donkey Kong Junior (game)|Donkey Kong Junior]]'' to teach mathematics. It was one of the NES's eighteen launch titles when it was released in America.

=Information=

The first player controlled [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], who competed against a pink version of Donkey Kong Jr. (controlled by either the computer or a second player) in order to win the approval of [[Donkey Kong]], who oversaw the competition. The point of the game is to grab math symbols and push them up vines in order to complete mathmatical equations. The game has three modes: Calculate A, Calculate B and Math Excercise.

=Legacy=

According to a Nintendo spokesman, this game was not well received and caused Nintendo to cancel edutainment-based games for the time being.

A follow-up known as ''Donkey Kong no Ongaku Asobi'' (''Donkey Kong's Music Play'') was planned for the NES, which would have been based around music and used sprites from the ''Donkey Kong'' game. It was ultimately canceled, likely in connection to the poor reception of ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math''.

==Ports/Remakes==

*''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' was available as an unlockable game in both ''[[Animal Forest]]'' and its sequel ''[[Animal Crossing]]'', both of which were originally released in 2001. 
*It was later released on [[Nintendo Wii|the Wii's]] [[Wii Virtual Console|Virtual Console]] in 2007 and on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Wii U Virtual Console|Virtual Console]] in 2014.
