Miyamoto wanted to create a Popeye game that featured a love triangle between Bluto, Olive Oyl, and Popeye, but Nintendo couldn’t secure the rights. Miyamoto decided to keep the love triangle idea and Donkey was born. One of Donkey Kong’s defining features was that fact that the game had a plot and cutscenes to move that plot. Donkey Kong would kidnap Mr.Video’s Girl and Mr.Video, a carpenter, would have to scale the construction site to rescue his girl. Mr. Video Soon became Jumpman and thanks to an angry land named Mario Segale his final name would be Mario. Fast forward five years 1985 and Mario and his brother Luigi embark on an adventure to save Princess Toadstool. Here’s the story from the instruction manual. One day the kingdom of the peaceful mushroom people was invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles famous for their black magic. The quiet, peace-loving Mushroom People were turned into mere stones, bricks, and even field horse-hair plants, and the Mushroom Kingdom fell into ruin The only one who can undo the magic spell on the Mushroom People and return them to their normal selves is the Princess Toadstool, the daughter of the Mushroom King. Unfortunately, she is presently in the hands of the great Koopa turtle king. Mario, the hero of the story (maybe) hears about the Mushroom People’s plight and sets out on a quest to free the Mushroom Princess from the evil Koopa and restore the fallen kingdom of the Mushroom People. You are Mario! It’s up to you to save the Mushroom People from the black magic of the Koopa! What set it apart It had a plot 32 levels.
