75m The arcade game Donkey Kong first appeared in 1981, and with it, the world’s most famous video-game characters, Mario and Donkey Kong, were born.
Two years later, another version of the game appeared for the first FamiCom console. Both versions were amazing given the technology at the time.
So, we wanted to try to faithfully recreate those screens here! You... You’re kidding, right? 75 meters is the height of the uppermost part of the construction site where Donkey Kong flees. This stage is very big, with lots of narrow scaffolding and footholds. This stage is a bit strange—it feels pretty free, but at the same time, kind of restricted.
Items can also have a big effect here—or be completely useless.
This stage has a flavor to it that isn’t found anywhere else. Even a lady’s purse and a jack show up. In Japan this was named a "trouble bug." (...Is it really a bug?) Sometimes retro is cool. Why not try some of those up-and-coming characters and see how they handle the old-school style? When Donkey Kong hits you, it hurts! The original Donkey Kong game also appears in Masterpieces mode, and I’ve set it up so you can start at 75m. Wow! They’re exactly the same! |

I was wondering if it was going to be the whole stage, or just that bit at the top we saw in the first screenshot. I'm glad it's the whole thing. This looks like a crazy fun stage ;D First time I've heard of the fireball being referred to as a "Trouble Bug" though... It's just been "Fireball" from everything I've seen. Plus, plenty of classic + modern DK screenshot possibilities  |

This could be fun for a themed match. Actually, I could imagine a whole series of customs based on Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. (Sorry DK3, you wouldn't translate well)

I think what Sakurai has done for the main stages (no build able ones) is make them zanny and unique. I think 75mm shows that.

In fact, it also has the points appear when you touch the item, and the score at the top left increases by that much. |
