25m

25m is the first level from the well-known Nintendo arcade game, Donkey Kong. In Donkey Kong, the player plays as Jumpman, later known as Mario, as he scales the construction like stages dodging barrels thrown down by the dreaded Donkey Kong. Mario’s main goal in the games is to make it to the top in order to rescue his beloved Pauline who had been kidnapped by Donkey Kong.

In M.U.G.E.N, 25m was created by aMAXproduction. The stage uses sprites taken straight from Donkey Kong while creating its own elements like a 3D effect used on the front most platform. The stage is animated, with 2 framed sprites like a fireball and Mario with a hammer in the foreground, and animated sprites of Donkey Kong beating his chest and Pauline calling for help in the background. The stage consists of two different layers. The foreground layer consists of two long trusses for the floor then another floor staircased behind it. The furthermost platform in the foreground holds an oil drum, the animated fireball, Pauline’s purse, and animated Mario and hammer, and Donkey Kong’s stack of barrels. The background layer consists of the top of the actual 25m level from the arcade game. The level holds the animated Donkey Kong, Pauline’s umbrella, and the animated Pauline. The background layer is also darkened to further enhance the depth.
