Crazy Kong Part II (bootleg)

Released in 1981 as an unlicensed bootleg arcade title by developer and distributor Falcon, Crazy Kong Part II is one of the most widely recognized clones of Nintendo’s groundbreaking 1981 platformer Donkey Kong. Created to meet high demand for Donkey Kong-style gameplay in small arcades that could not afford official Nintendo cabinet or conversion kits, this bootleg title quickly gained massive popularity across North America, Europe, and parts of Southeast Asia throughout the early 1980s. The game follows a nearly identical core premise to its official inspiration: a giant, aggressive ape named Crazy Kong has kidnapped a young woman named Lady, and holds her hostage at the top of a four-tiered active construction site. Players take control of Jumpman, the carpenter protagonist that would later evolve into Mario, as he navigates sloped girders, moving elevators, and a range of moving hazards to reach the top of the site and rescue Lady.

Game Guide

Mastering Crazy Kong Part II (bootleg) is far easier once you account for its key differences from the official Donkey Kong release, starting with its tighter collision detection and 15% faster overall hazard movement speed. First, familiarize yourself with basic controls: use the 8-way joystick to move left or right, climb up or down ladders, and press the single action button to jump. Note that the length of time you hold the jump button directly determines your jump height, so you will need to use short taps for small gaps between girders, and full presses to clear multiple rolling barrels at once. For the opening Sloped Girder level: do not linger on the sloped sections of the girders, as barrels roll much faster in this bootleg than in the official Donkey Kong release. Jump barrels approximately one full frame before they reach your position, rather than waiting for them to be directly at your feet, to account for the game’s tighter hitboxes. Unlike the official game, barrels in Crazy Kong Part II have a 20% chance of rolling down ladders, so never camp at the top or bottom of a ladder for more than a second to avoid unexpected hits. For the Elevator level: time your jumps between the two moving elevators carefully, as the game’s strict collision detection will register a fall if even a small portion of your character’s foot hangs off the edge of the platform. Avoid staying on the same horizontal line as the spring enemies for more than two seconds, as they move significantly faster than their official Donkey Kong counterparts. For the final Rivet level: only remove one rivet at a time, then step back to avoid the fast-moving cement blocks Crazy Kong throws from the top of the level. Collect all bonus items (hats, umbrellas, and purses) for 300 points each, and clear the first level in under 80 seconds to earn a bonus 5000 points to boost your high score. Avoid jumping while you are halfway up a ladder, as the game’s quirky ladder collision logic will often cau
