After seeing Gaming Historian’s video on it, I gave it a shot in MAME and had fun with it. It’s a radical departure, but honestly I didn’t think it was bad. That said it felt a little easy to cheese–I often just ignored enemies and went straight to spraying bug spray up Donkey Kong’s ass, and that’s usually enough to get me through at least two loops.

Meanwhile, original DK gives me a challenge and I’ve never looped arcade DK Jr (I’ve done the NES version, but since that controls slightly differently it almost feels like cheating).

Don’t get me wrong: Sky Skipper isn’t exactly incredible. […]
