Donkey Kong wasn't an evil mastermind like he was programmed. He was actually quite a nice guy. But in the game, he was always treated like he was evil and only thought about capturing the princess, smashing Mario with barrels and being the winner. That was Bowser. And everyone loved Bowser for what he did. Donkey Kong? Not so much. Donkey Kong just wished he'd be treated like everyone else. And in fact, he'd had enough.

One game, one opportunity and one little objective. Give Peach to Mario. When the game started, Mario was already off. He started bounding up the ladders towards the princess. And so, Donkey Kong activated phase 1. He pushed the barrels out of the screen and started running down the ladders, disposing of all the rolling barrels. The princess glared at Donkey Kong. "Donkey Kong! What are you doing? That's not part of the program!" Donkey Kong ignored her. Mario was confused too. "Get back into place, Donkey Kong" He ignored them once more.

Finally, he grabbed the princess and put her on his back, clambering down the ladder towards Mario. They were both puzzled and when Donkey Kong put down the princess in front of Mario, a huge bit of text appeared.

YOU WIN!

Donkey Kong looked anxiously at Mario and the princess.

"See you guys on the other side."

He jumped off the racks into oblivion.

Suddenly, a tear rolled down Mario's face.
