Crazy Kong (クレイジーコング, Kureijī Kongu) is an arcade game developed by Falcon, released in 1981 and similar to Nintendo's Donkey Kong. Although commonly believed to be a bootleg version, it was officially licensed for operation only in Japan when Nintendo couldn't keep up with domestic demand (even though Donkey Kong was still released there)
Like the original game, Crazy Kong had bootleg versions under such titles as Congorilla, Big Kong, Donkey King and Monkey Donkey.

My local arcade back in the 80s had crazy Kong. I probably played it for a good year before I knew there was a Donkey Kong. Man, I miss the 80s.

I discovered Crazy Kong when I was little, and my family went to Canada back in 1983. I played it in a Sheraton hotel in Toronto. I thought it was kinda weird, but it was actually easier than the real Donkey Kong. I rediscovered it in the 90’s when I installed MAME on my PC. A few years ago, I learned that Crazy Kong wasn’t actually a bootleg, but authorized by Nintendo because they couldn’t keep up with the demand for Donkey Kong machines in Japan, and allowed a third party to run it on different hardware.

Nothing can beat the og donkey kong. One of the major problems in the Crazy kong, is that the sounds are high pitched and annoying to the player. Good video by the way! Have a great day Retromantra!!🤗

Imagine if this had carried over into the '90s. Crazy Kong Country would probably look like an Atari 2600 game

Nintendo originally contracted with Falcon help them keep up with the demand for Donkey Kong machines, something Nintendo wasn't able to do on their own. Falcon was licensed to distribute Crazy Kong machines but only in certain areas, which they did for a while. Then they started distributing the game in areas reserved for Nintendo, beyond the scope of the contract. I like the game, especially the "hi-ya" Jumpman sound effect.

Did they just recolored and renamed "Donkey" to "Crazy"!? Oooh, the 80's 🙃

Why does mario in crazy kong scream when he jumps

[marsperson]

I learned about the arcade game “crazy kong” by arcade advantage’s donkey kong bootlegs and clones video! I also got the video I was talking about on this video!

I never understood the purpose of Crazy Kong. It's an officially licensed version of Donkey Kong but has inferior sounds and strange colors?

I'm guessing the hardware needed to produce it was a lot cheaper and that they could sell Crazy Kong machines for a lot less money to operators?

We had both games locally when they were new. I chose to play the original game mostly for the same quarter.

Yikes. I have never got to play a Crazy Kong. It sounds bad 😂
