Title: Is My Donkey Kong Jr Missing Levels???
Post by: baddate on June 17, 2010, 11:10:28 am

I recently bought a Donkey Kong Jr arcade machine.  I always remember there being 4 levels to DKJ, but this only has two (jungle and key).  Is there some sort of setting on my board I need to look at or is this just the way the arcade DKJ is?? 

Sorry to be asking such a noobish question, but I wasn’t really able to find the answer.

Thanks!

On the american boardset, you skip the other two levels on the first wave.  on the second wave, one of them is back in, and on the third wave on they are all there.

Its a similar board progression as the US version of Donkey Kong.

Yes, play the Japanese romset to go through all 4 levels on each 'wave'. This is how I played it at the corner shop when I was a kid.
