Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Sansū Lesson, simply referred to as Donkey Kong Jr. on the title screen, is the pack-in game for the Sharp C1 Famicom TV, a combined television and Family Computer unit released in October 1983, only a few months after the original Famicom.[1] It is a compilation of the games Donkey Kong Jr. and a prototype of Donkey Kong Jr. Math; the latter game would not be released until December 12, 1983.[2] Despite being a compilation of the two games, it only contains half of the 1- and 2-Player game modes from Donkey Kong Jr. and the +-×÷ Exercise mode from Donkey Kong Jr. Math.[3] Its cartridge is the first Famicom cartridge to not use the "pulse" label.
