Yeah, you guessed it. Donkey Kong, Level 1, the classic stage. So, what's the deal? Basically, you fight on the red girders, beating each other up while you're at it. You can climb every ladder, but you won't reach the top of the broken ones (just like the original!) You can't stand on the oil drum, it's in the background, and you can't take barrels from the pile or stand on them, same thing. You can jump through each of the girders, including the bottom one if you're underneath the stage. Now, of course, that'd be really boring to play in as it stands. So, what makes it interesting? Occasionally, a Manky Kong will appear in front of the barrels and start hucking them down the platform. Jump the barrels or take the pain. If you're lucky enough to have a hammer or a golden hammer, you can simply smash the barrels, as well. Unfortunately, Manky Kong doesn't just huck them at you, he'll occasionally throw one down below him to smash the oil drum, lighting it ablaze and thus creating a Podoboo, which will act like a red shell on the bottom platform, except more deadly in that it has alot of knock-back. After throwing ten barrels, however, Manky Kong gets bored and vanishes. If you're wondering, by the way, why I chose Manky Kong, it was because Manky Kong is perfect for the job: He's evil, he's close enough to a gorilla (an orangutan,) and his only attack he's ever had is, well, hucking barrels. Why didn't I pick DK, though, even an 8-bit one? Because DK's already playable, no matter the amount of bits are in him.

Hm, I could've sworn a submitted a vastly modified version of this, but that must have been on a different site since I can't find it..
I like the idea of including Manky, though maybe Cranky is more suitable since he is often considered to be the original Donkey.

I, for one, see no flaw in this sub. Though I have questions. Is it possible to KO Manky? Or is he invicincible? And can players attack the barrels that he rules?
You should also include that the barrels can go down ladders, unless I just missed that.
BTW Kriven, I don't think an old monkey tosing and cussing at us is very suitable. He can barely pick up a cane!!

@ Kriven: Yeah, but Cranky Kong is used enough to afford being passed for a cameo. Manky Kong's taken the place of the barrel thrower in DKC1, and since, we haven't seen hide or hair of another one (including Manky, in fact.)
@ Mr. G: No, you can't KO Manky. You just have to accept he's there throwing barrels until he's thrown all ten, at which point he leaves on his own. The barrels, yeah, can be attacked, but it's probably not smart to try it unless you have a hammer, a powerful projectile, or a really long reach. Otherwise, you're liable to get smashed by the barrel before you can hit it.
I didn't mention that the barrels can go down ladders, because it kinda slipped my mind. Thanks for reminding me.
Eh, I'm not so sure on Cranky being unsuitable for the job. Remember, he's gotten a playable appearance in the spin-off series in Barrel Blast, making his age irrelevant, plus the fact that he's shown to have that Yoda thing to him in the Countries (importantly to this, DKC3 showed him as able to perform karate.) His age doesn't limit him much at all.

Make this have a pixelated DK (and Pauline), or my vote is disapproval.
About Brawl: Pros: Donkey Kong-like structures have been seen in the previous Super Smash Bros. games, and there's already a suitable song in Brawl. Contras: The Donkey Kong game has been remade and conceptually retconned in the last 13 years. I made a stage submission months ago, which I just bumped.

I don't want to use an 8-bit DK because DK's already in and Cranky has enough cameos. As for Pauline, I don't want to do that, either. Besides, we're not hounding down the monkey, we're beating each other up. Granted, it's possible to screw around and play that in this stage with Mario, DK, and Princess Peach (or Pauline if I ever get a submission and accept, not to say if I want her or not,) but the idea here is just playing on the stage.
The thing about the conceptual retcon you mention is that, well, you're wrong. The retcon is more along the lines of the next game in the classic DK series. Besides, the classic Donkey Kong is much more well known, making any attempt to retcon the game seem ridiculous. Hell, Cranky Kong is repeatedly referred to as the original DK, and this is also called out on in Mario Superstar Baseball.

Okay, disapproval.

Well why would I need to put them there? It seems rather redundant.
