Awesome dad hacks Donkey Kong so daughter can play as Pauline

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Nicole Kline

What do you do when your three-year-old daughter, who has been playing Super Mario Bros. 2 as Princess Toadstool, wants to play Donkey Kong as Pauline?

If you’re Mike Mika, you stay up all night hacking the Donkey Kong ROM so she can do just that. Sure, he could just tell her to play Metroid, or teach her how to play Portal, but instead he’s taking charge and changing the game so she can play it her way. And why not? Check out the video to see what it would be like if Donkey Kong had kidnapped Mario, and Pauline had to save him.
