The victory music alternates between stages 1 and 2. For example, Donkey Kong begins to hurl barrels more rapidly and sometimes diagonally, and fireballs get quicker. These screens combine to form stages, which become progressively harder. Players refer to this screen as 'Rivets'. Removing the final rivet causes Donkey Kong to fall and the hero to be reunited with the Lady.

The fireballs remain the primary obstacle. Screen 4 ( 100m) - Jumpman must remove eight rivets, which support Donkey Kong.The bouncing weights (the hero's greatest danger in this screen) emerge on the top level and drop near the rightmost elevator. Screen 3 ( 75m) - Jumpman rides up and down elevators while avoiding fireballs and bouncing objects, presumably spring-weights.This screen is sometimes referred to as the 'Factory', 'Cement Factory' or 'Pie Factory', due to the resemblance of the cement pans to pies. The fireballs also make another appearance. Screen 2 ( 50m) - Jumpman must climb a five-story structure of conveyor belts, each of which transports pans of cement.Players routinely call this screen 'Barrels'. The hero must also avoid flaming balls, which generate when an oil barrel collides with an oil drum. Screen 1 ( 25m) - Jumpman must scale a seven-story construction site made of crooked girders and ladders while jumping over or hammering barrels and oil barrels tossed by Donkey Kong.

Later ports of the game omit or change the sequence of the screens. Each represents 25 meters of the structure Donkey Kong has climbed, one stage being 25 meters higher than the previous. The game is divided into four different one-screen stages. The player receives three lives with a 1-up awarded for the first 7,000 points. Points are awarded for finishing screens, leaping over obstacles, destroying objects with a hammer power-up, collecting items such as hats, parasols, and purses (presumably belonging to Lady), and completing other tasks. In addition to presenting the goal of saving the Lady, the game also gives the player a score. Winning the game requires patience and the ability to accurately time Jumpman's ascent. Competitive video gamers and referees stress the game's high level of difficulty compared to other classic arcade games. Jumpman must climb to the top, save Lady, and defeat Donkey Kong.Дonkey Kong is an early example of the platform genre (it is sometimes said to be the first platform game, although it was preceded by Space Panic and Apple Panic ). The Atari 2600 version is the home version to have all four stages in it.ДЇollowing the events of the game Donkey Kong Circus, Jumpman unintentionally laughs at a local circus animal, known as Donkey Kong (Sr.), who escapes and kidnaps Jumpman's girlfriend Lady for revenge, and runs to the top of a construction site. The original arcade version has four screen stages, but the Family Computer/Nintendo Entertainment System version only has three (50m was cut from this version). It is one of four games to be inducted into the Nintendo Hall of Fame. The game was Nintendo's first big hit in North America.

It marked the first appearances of the characters Mario (known as Jumpman, a carpenter), Pauline (known as Lady, Jumpman's girlfriend) and Donkey Kong.
