'''''Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Sansū Lesson''''' (meaning "Math Lesson") is a game released for the [[Family Computer]] in Japan. It is a compilation of the games ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]''. Despite being a compilation of two games, only parts of both are included. Combining half of the 1- and 2-Player game modes from ''Donkey Kong Jr''. and the +-×÷ Exercise mode from ''Donkey Kong Jr''. Math, the game can cater to classic arcade excitement and arithmetic lessons directed towards the younger set. No other gameplay mechanics or details seem to have changed. This game was released with a Sharp C1 TV (with built-in Family Computer), making it a very rare find.<ref>[https://nindb.net/nes/donkey-kong-jr-and-jr-sansu-lesson/index.html Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Sansū Lesson].
