In total, over the course of a little more than 30 years, 28 games were released that are included in the series Donkey Kong, most of them released exclusively in versions for consoles produced by Nintendo.

The main character of the games in the series Donkey Kong is a gorilla, who, although in the first installments of the series played the role of the main opponent, over time he gained the status of a protagonist. He is often accompanied by other characters such as Donkey Kong Jr., Cranky Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong or King K. Rool.

The gameplay mechanics of individual games in the series sometimes vary. Most are 2 or 3D platformers. However, there are also arcade racers or brawlers. In general, the games offer the possibility of single-player play and in the company of other players.

Audiovisual setting of the series Donkey Kong has evolved along with its development. Initially, games with Donkey Kong offered only simple, two-dimensional graphics and midi background music. Modern productions are usually characterized by attractive, three-dimensional graphics in a cartoon style.
