The premise is simple go through various obstacles with Jump Man (more famously known as Mario) and dodge the baddies, find the right path and unlock doors to get closer to resquing the princess from Donkey Kong. It's stiff fun and it seems it will always be relevant in pop culture. It's awesome with the Super Gameboy adapter for the Snes, which has it's own themed arcade cabinet border and it gives it COLOR! 10/10 great game, highly recommended!
