Mario very first video game appearance was ''Donkey Kong'', where he was also nicknamed "Jumpman." The plot involves Donkey Kong kidnapping Mario's girlfriend, [[Pauline]]. Slinging Pauline across his back, Donkey Kong ascends the metal ~~girders~~ of a construction site ~~in [[Big Ape City]] on [[Donkey Kong Island]]~~. When Mario pursues, the ape begins throwing [[barrels]] at him and rolling them down the structure. Mario must then jump over and dodge these obstacles, while using lifts and ladders to reach the top of the level, where Donkey Kong holds Pauline captive. On the way, Mario can retrieve items such as [[Pauline's Items|Pauline's umbrella]] and [[Pauline's Items|Pauline's purse]] for bonus points.

Each time Mario reaches Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong then slings Pauline across his shoulders once more and climbs higher. After three levels, Donkey Kong is trapped at the top of the structure, cornered. Donkey Kong falls off of the structure, and Pauline seems to be safe. Rather than continue DK and his circus act, Mario instead only wished to ensure that Donkey Kong would not return to kidnap Pauline. Mario took him to a deep and dangerous jungle and imprisoned him in a cage, as seen in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr.]]''. Seeing his chance to rescue his father, Donkey Kong Jr. challenged Mario and unlocked the cage. Each time this happened, Mario fled with Donkey Kong to a new location, locking the ape up once again. Eventually, in ''[[Donkey Kong II]]'', Mario began using chains to lock up the ape. Eventually, Jr. was able to free his father and Mario fled from the angry Donkey Kong, leaving him in the jungle.
