This arcade game is varied of four levels. The plot of this game is Donkey Kong, an evil ape capturing a princess. Then you take control of a chubby man with a moustache to save the princess. As you take control of Mario you have to climb ladders, jump over moving objects, and avoid hitting ghosts, also collecting items to collect points on the way. Your goal is to reach the very top level or platform of each level, and at the end of the fourth level the platforms in the middle tumble down leaving you to be with the princess.
 
The control for this arcade game is pretty good, with moving and jumping being the only controls. The prapgics were pretty good for its time and is very fun to play. It may not seem fun to play nowadays, but once you get started in it, you'll really get into it. I recommend this game to anyone who has ever played a video game, this game is a classic, and brought many new standards to video gaming forever.
