 '''''Donkey Kong''''', released in 1981 in the arcades, is the first game in the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]] and was [[Nintendo]]'s first big success. It introduced [[Donkey Kong]], the villain, [[Mario]] (originally named Jumpman), the protagonist, and [[Pauline]] (originally named Lady), the person Mario has to save from Donkey Kong. It later got two sequels, ''[[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', multiple ports, a version for the [[Game & Watch]], a "remake" for the [[Game Boy]], and it also started the [[Mario (series)|Mario series]], which became one of the best-selling video game franchises.

+| [[Mario]] || [[File:SSBM_001_Mario.png|100px]] || Donkey Kong<br>Arcade 1981 || Known worldwide as Mr. Nintendo, Mario uses his incredible jumping ability to thwart the evil [[Bowser]] time after time. While he's best known as a hero, Mario has played many roles, including racer, doctor, golfer, and villain. His tastes have changed over 20 years of gaming; he long ago swapped the colors of his shirt and overalls.

+| [[Donkey Kong]] || [[File:SSBM_004_Donkey_Kong.png|100px]] || Donkey Kong<br>Arcade 1981 || While he now prefers the laid-back jungle lifestyle to construction site mischief, DK is often forced back into action by the [[Kremling Krew]]. The great ape is quite fast despite his burly physique, and he keeps his strength up with a steady diet of his favorite food: bananas. His one extravagance (and only piece of clothing) is a monogrammed necktie.

+| [[Hammer]] || [[File:SSBM_097_Hammer.png|100px]] || Donkey Kong<br>Arcade 1981 || If you grab the Hammer, you'll run across the screen swinging it back and forth nonstop. In Donkey Kong, [[Mario]] used the Hammer in exactly the same fashion. It's an extremely powerful item, but you have no recovery move when carrying it. Every now and then, the mallet head will fall off, and you'll end up completely vulnerable, swinging just the handle.

He's a multitalented plumber with the knowledge of a physician, a top-notch golfer, and a veteran tennis umpire. Is his jumping prowess a boon from his girder-climbing days?<br><br>[[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]: ''Donkey Kong''<br>NES: ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

Once in a great while, the hammer's head will fall off, leaving you nothing but the handle. Of course, you can't tell whether the head is securely fastened just by looking. Hammerheads that fall off can be picked up and thrown as weapons.<br><br>NES: ''Donkey Kong''
