    Donkey Kong Circus © 1984 Nintendo Co., Ltd.

    In the game, Donkey Kong will juggle sticks, though when a torch comes the player are required not to touch it or else Donkey Kong gets burned.

    TECHNICAL
    Model MK-96

    TRIVIA
    Released on September 6, 1984 (Thursday) in Japan at a retail price of 6,000 JPY. The game is an extremely rare title. It was the last of the Panorama Screen series.

    An alternate version of the game was made available as Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse's model number is DC-95, while Donkey Kong Circus is MK-96, when they should be swapped. During the manufacturing of the games, the numbers were accidentally switched. Because Nintendo knew this didn’t pose a problem, they decided not to change it.
