Donkey Kong Jr. Math was an education game. It was Nintendo's way
of saying the NES was also for educational purposes. That playing
video games can be both fun and educational.
Donkey Kong Jr. Math basically takes the whole game engine from
Donkey Kong Jr. for the NES. But now you are solving Math
problems.
There are 3 different modes:
Mode 1 is called Calculate A.
In this mode there are several vines hanging from above. On the
vines are the various 1 digit numbers. At the bottom of the
screen, on 4 separate platforms are the 4 basic math symbols.
(Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division.)
At the top of the screen is Donkey Kong. Each round (there is only
the one stage.) well, each round DK will hold up a number. Not
really high, below 100.
But your job is to climb the vines and calculate that number. You
can do it as long as you want, and with as many math symbols as
you want.
You just keep doing this until you get bored, or are done studying
I guess.
Mode 2 is called Calculate B.
Calculate B is exactly like A, except harder. The numbers DK holds
up are higher, and sometimes even a negative number.
You get to start with a number yourself, if DK holds up 800, you
don't want to add 5's and 6's all day:P
There is something else I haven't mentioned for both Calculate A
and B. There is a second DK Jr. on the screen. This other DK Jr.
can be controlled by player 2, on controller 2, if there is such a
player. Now the two players have to face off and race each other
to get the sum of the number DK is holding up.
The last mode is called +-x/ Exercise. (/ is in replacement of the
division symbol, I don't have it on my keyboard. Aha! If you hold
down on your alt key, and on your number keypad enter 246 the
division symbol appears. ÷)
Well, enough of this keyboard stuff, back to mode +-x÷.
In that mode you start off by selecting what type of math problems
to tackle. Multiplication, Long Division, etc.
You get to select by climbing a vine. (Just a way to show the
player he/she isn't just doing this on paper:P)
One you select the math problem, a random question will appear.
You then try and solve it. You enter in the numbers by, yet again,
climbing a vine. That makes the game fun. . . .right!?. . .RIGHT!?
That is about that of +-x÷ Exercise.
Donkey Kong Jr. Math is a perfect game for someone who wants to
practice there math, and wants a more interactive, way to learn
than the old pencil and paper method.
It's good that you can have more complicated questions than 5+7,
and then 8x6.
So the game can appeal to different people, at different stages in
math.
You can do simple addition, or some long division.
Someone could get this game in grade 1, and use it for a few years
to practice on.
If your in need of something to help you are someone else in basic
math, this is a perfect game to get. It may not be much fun, but
perfect for practicing math. |
