Players control Donkey Kong as he jumps, climbs, and swings through different environments filled with enemies and obstacles.
The main objective is to progress through stages by defeating enemies and collecting items, ultimately reaching the end of each level. The pace is steady, requiring precise timing and careful exploration.
