[edit] Article creation

Never played this game. I was interested in it when I read the KLOV entry, and went here to find more. Alas, no article :(. So I decided to get the ball rolling. --Headcase 07:38, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've always heard of it as GB Donkey Kong, with Donkey Kong '94 just being an alternate name. Spyke 22:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I always called it Donkey Kong '94. It was the title used in Nintendo Power until the game was released. - furrykef (Talk at me) 21:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super Gameboy

There needs to be a note about the super gameboy on this page. This game was like the flagship title for the super gameboy, along with kirby's dreamland 2. --Captain_Duck 00:43, 27 august 2006 (CET)

[edit] 'Conveyor Belt' level

(in fact, this is the first home version of Donkey Kong to contain the 'conveyor belt' stage from the arcades)

Incorrect. See here. Basscomm 05:45, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Cool! I wasn't aware of that. Even Nintendo Power was giving out that incorrect info when the Game Boy version first came out, which is why I put it up (figured Nintendo wouldn't have incorrect info about their own product). - EmiOfBrie 22:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
    • I think Nintendo Power probably only took the NES version in consideration when they wrote that statement, seeing how its the only version of the game actually produced in-house by Nintendo (as opposed to licensed to another company like the ColecoVision version).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Donkey Kong 95 - Ingame 9.gif

Image:Donkey Kong 95 - Ingame 9.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
