It's no wonder that she's been absent for so long from the overall series it probably took years of therapy for her to recover from the events of this game. She's probably an emotional trainwreck by the time that Mario finally rescues her.
Getting kidnapped by a giant thuggish ape is bad enough, but being carried away by said ape over the span of a game that lasts more than a hundred stages? Not even Peach has been hauled around this much, or at least never in a single game. Considering that this game actually birthed many mechanics the series would come to tout in later installments (such as the backflip and triple jump), it all comes together nicely. Fridge Brilliance: Nintendo nowadays says that Mario developed his abilities while chasing DK to save Pauline.Even Better Sequel: Some people prefer this to the original arcade game, given how it expands upon the core game in virtually every aspect.In particular, 7-7 is filled to the brim with Red Herrings, and the door in 7-11 is outright invisible. Difficulty Spike: While for the most part, the game has a reasonable progression in difficulty and allows for players to put their puzzle solving to the test, Iceberg cranks the difficulty up to almost unfair degrees, with Rocky-Valley being nowhere near as difficult.
Cult Classic: While not the most well-known or successful Game Boy game, it enjoys a good-sized following that considers the game to not only be a great puzzle-platformer, but one of the best games on the Game Boy in general.Awesome Music: Showdown At The Tower, the "final" boss theme, is an epic and fast-paced boss theme, perfectly suitable to the final (actually penultimate) battle against Donkey Kong.And even when he grows to the size of the entire tower for the real final boss, he can be easily defeated by staying on the platforms, safe from his fists, and pelting him with barrels. There's some wind in the level, and his barrels create poison mushrooms when broken, but it's still easy to hit him with three barrels. Anti-Climax Boss: Despite the epic buildup and music, the final battle with Donkey Kong plays out almost identically to his other fights.
