Play Super Donkey Online

Summary

Super Donkey is a curious footnote in SNES history – an unreleased platformer that never saw a soundtrack or even a working timer. The game stars an unnamed aviator‑explorer who looks like a proto‑Rayman and bears a striking resemblance to the hero of Nintendo’s Sky Skipper. Two separate builds have surfaced, both stripped of music and with the on‑screen clock frozen, giving the whole experience a ghostly, unfinished vibe. While the title hints at a possible Donkey Kong tie‑in, the evidence is mostly limited to a few unused sprites and the project’s name itself. Interestingly, several visual and gameplay ideas from Super Donkey later resurfaced in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, showing how even abandoned concepts can find new life.
