Donkey Kong Cheats For NES

  1. Gain multiple points faster

    Gain multiple points faster
    Normally you would gain 100 points each time you jump over a barrel. But try jumpin over a barrel while the following 2 conditions apply:
    - You are standin on the top of the MIDDLE ladder on the THIRD floor (first level)
    - The barrel must roll down the ladder you are on as you jump over it

    If the conditions apply (as in, you jump over a barrel without movin back or forth, and it just rolls down the ladder below you), then you will hear the scorin points sound effect played multiple times really fast, and you will gain several hundred points.

Donkey Kong Cheats For Arcade Games

  1. Instantly clear 25m

    On 25m, if Mario is at X position 207 (the right of the second girder) and jumps to the right, he'll bounce off the right side of the screen and fall through the floor. If he falls through the lowest set of construction beams, his Y position overflows to 0, which counts as beating the level.

    This only works on the JP Set 3 revision (you can tell if it is the right version if the intermission screen says "HOW HIGH CAN YOU TRY?" instead of "HOW HIGH CAN YOU GET?") All other versions have this bug fixed.

Donkey Kong Cheats For Colecovision

  1. Teleport

    Move Mario up the first broken ladder on the ''ramps'' level, then climb back down. Walk to the left and position Mario so that his back is almost touching the same broken ladder. Then, move him one or two steps to the right and jump. If done correctly, Mario will fall through the bottom and appear in the ''rivets'' level or re-appear after several seconds on the top ramp next to Donkey Kong. Note: This only works on some versions of the cartridge.

  2. Climb ladders faster

    To make Mario climb a ladder faster get him to start climbing up or down a ladder, stop climbing, then climb again up/down again. Mario will climb the ladder faster.

  3. Lose Your Hammer Power

    In the ''ramps'' level, if you have hammer power and you would like to get rid of your hammer power without having to wait for it to wear out, just kill a few barrels and move to the edge of a ramp, then drop to the ramp directly below. You will not lose a life, but your hammer power will magically vanish!

  4. Rivets stage warp at Stage 1

    In the first level (when you start the game), go to the first ladder in Mario's sight (the ladder that doesn't connect to the next platform above it), but climb halfway the ladder and next climb back down. Then, take two little steps left and go right and press the jump button simultaneously, and finally, it'll cause Mario to go through the girder he spawned in, thus teleporting him to the rivets screen.

    First, you have to obtain a new high score with either 37,000 73,000 or 77,000. Then you have to lose all of your remaining lives, with the last life lost via falling off a platform. Set the game difficulty to level 4, then wait for the game to completely cycle through its demo screen. The title screen will then appear with the initials LMD, which stands for Landon M. Dyer, the creator of the game.
