At least the developers bothered to put in all four levels, which at the time was an extreme rarity in home ports of DK. All in all not a bad port for the time, although Mario’s speed is a too fast relative to the enemies
if the COLECOVISION version's of this game could have been ported to MSX, we would have had a version close to perfection since the hardware of the two platforms is almost the same but unfortunately this did not occur
Mario can’t jump in a proper curve pattern, instead he only could jump to a 3th quarter of a curve pattern but then he lands 5 frames too fast,if mario just could,ve jump in a proper curve pattern and didn’t landed that fast,then jumping over barrels would,ve been much easier,but now you have to jump pixel perfect over them,ouch.
You make this game look like to be very easy but it’s not because the hit & collision detection is off,also once mario jumps,he falls down the last few pixels waay too fast,as a result those jumpings on those barrels has to be pixel perfect,also since the hit boxes from those barrels are just too big,if you just jump too early you will get hit by the barrels from it’s frontside but if you jump just slightly too late ,then you will get hit be the barrel from it’s backside,also jumping over gaps is a nightmare,if you just jump slightly too late then you will slide off the platform,but if you just jump slightly too early you might not get to that other platform,it’s just that awful,why those jumps has to be pixel perfect? Well i was able to beat the game but oh boy what was it freaking hard man,phew🤣
+mocgames998 Well, the MSX2 was capable of doing almost arcade-perfect versions of some games, but most of the MSX1 games I've seen look pretty much like this.

I noticed that all the graphics are from the ZX Spectrum version and Mario's sprites are from the Commodore 64 release from Ocean.

But the hit detection of this port, Uuuggghh!!!
Coleco Adam.
It... looks better than the zx spectrum version?
Well, the only diffrence being better sound, and Mario's sprite looking a lot better, with better color picking
Still better than the zx spectrum version

Is it me, or does that look like Coconuts from AOSTH on steroids?
ShinobiKirby I thought that too. XD
If the jumping and hitboxes weren’t as precise and as wonky as they are this would be a great port

Coded by Sentient Software? Wow. Who knew the MSX had advanced AI back then.
If you watch Donkey Kong closely starting from 2:46, you'll see that he's actually punching his balls instead of his chest! LOL!!!
don't do that DK there's kids in the Audience

Surpeised they didn't just port the Colecovision version to the MSX (with added pie stage).
This must be zx spectrums brother
This port is a Replica of the ZX Spectrum version
Mario's sprite is looking all right,
but DK's sprite looks rushed during development and Pauline's sprite looks like they didn't even try at all.
Donkey Kong for Atari 400/800 (that came out 4 years earlier) was so much better!
IKR Pauline looks like a cockroach in the MSX version
This is zx spectrum updated?

This version is INCREDIBLY hard. It plays really fast and even in slow speed its hard.
never would’ve expected to see you here on my travels

Why is Mario’s so small
Mario don't look that small, you didn't notice Pauline is the tiniest

The sprites look so funny because of their inaccuracy
FC版では､カットされた2面が入ってるだけMSX版は良いですね｡日本でも､発売されてたら購入してたと思います｡
beats the spectrum port i guess
Why is dk pounding his crotch?!
controls?
Sprites jumpman look like a Amstrad cpc
The MSX could probably do much better than this, to be honest.

+mocgames998
more then one MSX.
+LaVey Charkus Veros Shame really (the ColecoVision DK at least had more colorful sprites).
Yes it could, and it did. Check out the Coleco Adam version.
Good port
How did this get so butchered?
