Donkey Kong
Playing as Mario your mission is to save Pauline who's been kidnapped by DK. There's three static screens, each with their own unique features. The first is Barrel Stage where you work your way upwards using ladders while jumping over DK's barrels. Along the way you'll come across a Hammer which gives you temporary invincibility. Next is the Elevator Stage where you use moving platforms to reach the far right side before avoiding the bouncing spring as you climb the final ladder. Fireballs are introduced and you must time your jumps to avoid them. The final screen is the Rivet Stage which sees you removing eight rivets while surrounded by fireballs. It's simple, yet fun, and the fact that there's less room to manoeuvre at the top of the screen forces you to strategies in interesting ways.
