Here it is: the thrilling conclusion to Donkey Kong for Game Boy! Just two more worlds to go!
All maps by Captain Drake.
World 8: Rocky Valley
Stage 8-1
Get in the water, grab the key and toss the key up once you're all the way to the right. Go up, plant the magical ladder so that you can climb upwards. Toss the key up over where the hat is. Climb up and get the key before it disappears. Avoid the armadillos on the way to the door. You're done.
Stage 8-2
Go to the right, hit the switch, then jump over where the hedgehogs are on the way back. Go up and then take the conveyor belts.
Stage 8-3
You can swim inside the waterfalls, and you can ascend if you hammer the A button fast enough. Use this to your advantage to swim to the top of the stage, then go down the ladder and toggle the switch to open the door to the exit. Go back up, get the key, drop down while avoiding the spikes, and ride the crusher to get to the door.
All this time, you'll have to avoid both the bird and the eggs it drops, so watch the skies.
Stage 8-4
Avoid the hedgehogs, and go for the switch as soon as you can get to it (DK will be playing with a switch that controls the bridges.)
Stage 8-5
Just use the Super Hammer to get rid of the bricks and the hedgehogs. This is easy. You don't even need the ladder, since you can get around easily with the handstand jump.
Stage 8-6
Place the magical springboard under the handbag, then use it to get up. Avoid the crushers as you go right. Go down and get the key. Take the moving platforms, flip the switch just under where the key was. Avoid the crushers as you make your way to the door.
Stage 8-7
The Panzers make their first appearance since Super Mario Bros. 2 and all of its ports.
Avoid the Panzer, get the key, hit the magical bridge platform and use the platform to break your fall. DK Jr. will be playing with the switch, but all he'll be doing is reversing the direction of the conveyor belts.
Stage 8-8
All you're really doing here is avoiding the rocks that Donkey Kong throws as you make your way towards Pauline.
Stage 8-9
If you want to skip the water, you can always get hit by a Mini Mushroom so you can take the bottom route. Otherwise, be careful around the fish and don't let them bite you.
Stage 8-10
For this one, get to the magical springboard with the handstand jump and position it so you can get the key. Make sure that the tiny, singular bottom platform does not fall down. Once you grab the key, stand on that platform and ride it down to the door. You could continue to collect magic springboards, but you might find this to be easier.
You've also got the wind working against you much like in some of the Airplane stages here, so be careful. In this stage, it is all too easy to fall to your death.
Stage 8-11
Go to the left, get the magical ladder icon with the handstand jump and place it near the key. Place the key on the conveyor belt, get the magical ladder icon to the right, and use it to gain access to the other side of the conveyor belt. Hurry over there and get the key, then use the last magical ladder icon so you can climb to the exit door. This one will definitely require some crackerjack timing to pull off, but it is possible.
Stage 8-12
Stay underneath the dark, square-shaped platforms whenever possible. The boulders cannot tumble straight down from above them.
The lava is instant death. Don't let the intermission fool you!
Stage 8-13
For this one, you'll want to place the magical bridge so that it's flush with the platform where the key is. From there you can throw the key up and get back to the door by using the seed-spitting flower as a platform.
Stage 8-14
There are four switches. The top switch will be called "Switch 1." The bottom three, from left to right, will be "Switch 2," "Switch 3," and "Switch 4." As you're moving through this stage, watch out for the fireballs that are shot downward by the Panzer.
Toggle Switch 3 first. From there, go up and go right to Switch 4, then go left and hit Switch 2. Go up and hit Switch 1, and wait for the block enemy to be right-side up before jump on and then over him.
Go back down and hit Switch 2 so the block guy on the left reaches the bottom, then hit Switch 4. When the block guy on the right hits the bottom, toggle it again. This will ensure that the door blocking the key is open. You can now grab the key and get out of here.
Stage 8-15
Go up, and wait on the conveyor belt as the first crusher comes down. Jump onto it and jump on the moving platforms, and get the second crusher to come down. Jump onto it, then go to the right. Use the crumbling blocks to wait on the moving platforms nearby if you need to. Get the key, and use the rocks moving on the lava as platforms. Again, keep jumping on them so they don't sink into the lava. Use the magical springboard to get to the ladder leading back to the starting point.
Stage 8-16
You'll be dealing with the wind as well as egg-pooping birds as you throw walking rocks at DK. Focus on throwing the walking rocks at DK, as DK may inadvertently kill the bird. Of course, the bird will respond, but at least you won't have to deal with it for a few seconds.
World 9: Tower
Stage 9-1
For the final world, you will be dealing with Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.
For this first stage, you'll have to brave the conveyor belts to get to Pauline and try not to get hit in the head by falling objects. At least you can backflip to the bridge if it's triggered, as DK Jr. will be playing around with the switch up top.
Stage 9-2
DK Jr. will be throwing springboards while DK Jr. will be toggling the bridges, but if you're quick enough you should be able to get through this without any problems.
Stage 9-3
For this one, DK Jr. will be playing with the switches, and you're going to be doing quite a bit of waiting. The switch will toggle both doors and bridges. Do not land on the walking horned skulls, as jumping onto them is instant death if you do.
You'll also be waiting on ladders to move their way up, and you'll also have the Mini Mushrooms to avoid again.
Stage 9-4
This one is similar to the final stage of Donkey Kong Jr. For this one, you'll have to move five keys to the top while avoid the eggs of the bird as well as Mini Mushrooms. When you move all five keys up to the top, you'll lock DK Jr. in a cage. We won't be seeing him again.
Stage 9-5
Just use your backflip to get to the top. This is simple.
Stage 9-6
For this one, you're spinning on wires to get to the top. For the final, diagonal wire, spin five or six times to land in front of Pauline. Any more and you'll be sailing straight into DK. Just make sure the switch is triggered so that the door blocking the end is open.
Stage 9-7
For this level, all the blocks will dissolve. You'll want to avoid the Mini Mushrooms, otherwise you'll have to time your jumps carefully so you don't screw it up at the end. You definitely don't want to fall to the bottom here.
Stage 9-8
There's wind this high up in the tower, and the barrels drop Mini Mushrooms when you throw them into Donkey Kong. Unless you use the handstand, the barrels will not stop at all.
When you beat DK here, you'll finally be reunited with Pauline.
Stage 9-9
Uh-oh! DK's back, and he's eaten some Mega Mushrooms to get bigger!
When he pounds the floor, you'll want to be out of the way. Some debris will fall, but some of it are barells. One of them will continue to fall. Stop it with your handstand and throw it at DK's face.
The best place to stand is on DK's nose, since all you'll have to worry about is the debris.
After two hits, DK will smash his knuckles together to try to hit you if you're on his nose. To avoid it, stand on his nose and jump straight up. He'll still cause barrels and debris to rain from the sky, but you'lve got to be quick with the barrels. If you can't get your hands on one before DK shakes the screen, the barrel on the floor will disintegrate and you'll have to wait to get another one.
If DK lifts his hands up, he's going to do two fist crushes. If his hands slide sideways, he's about to clap his hands together.
After two more hits, DK will hide under the floor and pound at the ground with his fists. Handstand jump to the other side to avoid his fist and the debris. After this, you'll have to deal with the usual tactics from this battle and get two more hits in. Thankfully, these two hits are the last, and once you land them, it's over! You've beaten Donkey Kong for Game Boy!
