It’s been 30 years since the first platformer, Donkey Kong, made its way to our consoles back in 1981. This sidescrolling format revolutionized gaming, bringing now-popular franchises like Mario Bros, Rayman, Crash Bandicoot, and Celeste. Fast forward to 2021, there are many of them on mobile, including the highly-touted Super Mario Run and Crash Bandicoot: On the Run. Amongst these options, one game stands out as a priority: a fun little title that is a throwback to the games of yore, Super Kong Jump - Monkey Bros & Banana Forest Tal.

Super Kong Jump - Monkey Bros & Banana Forest Tal is a 2D sidescrolling platformer that feels and plays like the old NES and SNES games from way back. Here, you’ll be in the shoes of the Monkey King, whose homeland, the Flower Fruit Mountain, is in turmoil. Unfortunately for him and his subjects, an unspeakable evil invaded, and so as all benevolent kings do, he must set off on an adventure to restore peace and balance to his homeland. Fortunately, the Dragon King aided him on his quest, bestowing powers that will help him succeed.

Super Kong Jump - Monkey Bros & Banana Forest Tal is a simple and straightforward platformer. It reminds me of games like the old Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, just with a few modern twists. The gameplay involves jumping across various floating platforms and avoiding pits, taking out one of the Monkey King’s ten lives. You’ll also face enemies ranging from evil-looking insects that pop out of large pipes, as well as one-eyed slimes and turtle-like animals with spikes on their backs. Fortunately, you can deal with them by striking them with your trusty stick or by hitting them from afar with some sort of an energy ball, giving you options on offense.

Super Kong Jump - Monkey Bros & Banana Forest Tal’s controls scream standard platformer relatively smooth. You can navigate across platforms and interact against enemies using on-screen buttons. Though it looks like a rather cute game, it is pretty challenging. The levels are intricately designed, demanding a great deal of timing, especially since it has moving surfaces while enemies will try to stop you in your tracks. Apart from reaching the end of every level, you will also have secondary objectives like gather peaches and bananas and breaking boxes with question marks that contain essential goodies. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about dying when you’ve almost reached the end of every stage since there are checkpoints scattered around them.

In terms of how it looks and the vibe it gives, Super Kong Jump - Monkey Bros & Banana Forest Tal is charming, though the challenge it provides is a complete 180 from its cutesy art style. Moreover, the game gives you that retro feeling, given that its animations and visual elements make it look more like a title in the late 90s. Meanwhile, the music is relaxing and will undoubtedly provide a pleasant experience when playing.

Overall, Super Kong Jump - Monkey Bros & Banana Forest Tal is a fun little platformer that will undoubtedly exceed your expectations. With fun and challenging levels to go through, it is a priority among the legions of platforming options on the Google Play Store. It provides a certain degree of action and formidable obstacles, perfect for gamers who want to test their abilities. With that said, we highly recommend starting your journey to save Flower Fruit Island.
