The original Donkey Kong Arcade Game is something of a genesis point for Nintendo. It was not only the birthplace of their most famous character, Mario, but also Donkey Kong as well. The thing is, Donkey Kong wasn't made to be a fantastic game, it was actually made solely because of another game, a game which doesn't really get talked about, and because of that, Donkey Kong was made in an impossibly short period of time.
