Golden Axe II [ ]. Main article: Each of the heroes from the first game return to battle the forces of evil villain Dark Guld in this sequel. While Golden Axe II was a exclusive from a development point of view, it saw limited arcade exposure in the series of arcade machines.

Released in 1991, the game featured new magic for each of the heroes with the characteristic magic pots from the first game replaced by spell books this time around. Many video game magazine editors [ ] of the time expressed that the game was very likely rushed into production to give Sega another popular title to enable the to compete with its new rival, the. In most respects this sequel was essentially the same as the original, though it had new sprites for enemy characters and new levels. Many fans were disappointed with this title as they were expecting more than a rehash of the first title. However, the title had the virtue of not straying too far from a successful formula and was still quite popular upon its release.

Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder [ ]. Main article: In 1992, Sega released Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder in arcades. Despite its popularity, [ ] the game remains an arcade exclusive as of 2017. Only Gilius Thunderhead makes a return, riding the back of new character Goah the giant. The rest of the cast is all new and includes Sternblade the barbarian, Dora the female, and Little Trix, a young lad who carries a pitch fork. The main enemy is once again Death Adder.

As well as introducing multiple paths to the franchise, the magic aspect was adjusted. Though still found in the classic Golden Axe pots, the magic spells did not increase in power with the number of pots collected but required a set number to work. The Revenge of Death Adder was the only Golden Axe game in which one of the magic attacks was not offensive, as Little Trix grew apple trees with fruit that replenished health. At the game's end, Death Adder rises one more time. Gilius sacrifices his life to finally end Adder's. During the end cinematic Gilius is shown in a bar with every other character, and a banner appears saying, 'See you Next Game!'

Golden Axe III [ ]. Main article: Released in 1993, a few weeks after Revenge of the Death Adder, the third Golden Axe game on the Mega Drive was released only in Japan. However, the game was available for a while in North America on the, Sega's -based game downloading system. It was brought to Europe and North America on the 's.

The game's lineup of playable characters includes swordsman Kain Grinder (カイン・グリンダー), swordswoman Sarah Barn (サラ・バーン), giant Braoude Cragger (プラウド・クラッガー) and beastman Chronos 'Evil' Lait (クロノス・”イビル”・レート). Gilius also appear as a non-playable character at the character select screen. In this game the object is to travel along a number of truly branching paths and eventually defeat the main boss of the game, the Prince of Darkness.

The player can choose different branching paths in this game toward that objective just as in Revenge of Death Adder. However the paths in this game are more elaborate and do not loop back together. Many of the characters are good characters that were possessed, and once beaten they are freed. A king turned into an anthropomorphic eagle is a recurring boss who may possibly be Prince Hellbringer's right-hand man, and is playable in VS mode. As opposed to Golden Axe II, where the characters, moves, and controls remained largely the same, Golden Axe III brought many changes to the gameplay.

The background scenery was less lush and colorful than in previous games, as were the sprites themselves. There was a greater variety of moves. Furthermore, there were several abilities unique to certain characters: for example, the Braoude could throw, while the Chronos and Sarah could double jump and wall jump. Finally, each character had a super-move with its own unique button combination.

Some features were returned to the title that had been cut in previous sequels. Golden Axe III brought back the thieves from the original game, rather than the mages from Golden Axe II. Also, extra lives could be gained by freeing prisoners scattered throughout the levels. The magic system was returned to the original version where all pots are used at the same time, as opposed to the improved system in Golden Axe II that allowed the player to only use as many spellbooks as they wanted.

Critics applauded Sega's decision not to release Golden Axe III in North America, speculating that the game's drab graphics and generally mediocre quality would have damaged the Sega Genesis's reputation. Golden Axe: Beast Rider [ ]. Main article: Released for the, this action-adventure title follows the legend of the character Ax Battler. Unlike its console counterpart, it is based more on than the original game. The player moves around a top-view overworld and enemies randomly attack. However the player can not see them like in Zelda II. When a battle begins, the game zooms down to a platform-style fighting environment.

After killing the foe (or the foe wounding them) the hero returns to the overworld. Unlike previous Golden Axe games, the player can learn new attacks and moves at the training dojos in each town.

The currency in this game is pots, the traditional Golden Axe magic-usage item. Pots double as both currency and as an offensive attack. Golden Axe: The Duel [ ]. Main article: Released in 1994 in the arcades and in 1995 for the, Golden Axe: The Duel is a one-on-one fighting game featuring characters who appear to be descendants of some of the characters in the original game.

In Golden Axe III, Gilius is the only character from the previous games to appear, though he is not playable, he starts each of the characters off on their quest at the game's beginning. When Death Adder returns from the dead in Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, Gilius rides on the back of playable character Goah throughout the game, and sacrifices his life at game's end to vanquish Death Adder once and for all. Gilius is granted the least powerful spells in the game, but has the best striking range in battle. Gillius is a recurring playable character in the series.

• Death Adder is a tyrannical who wears a full iron helmet, pointed, and wields an enormous. In addition to his brutal strength and speed while attacking, he can also cast magical spells. With his army, he enslaves the kingdom of Golden Axe and kidnaps its royal family.

After dispatching his minions, Adder is finally killed by the game's three heroes, but is resurrected for Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder. Here, he survives an initial attempt on his life but perishes due to the self-sacrifice of Gilius Thunderhead. Death Adder reappears many years later in Golden Axe: The Duel, where he is a playable character, and the penultimate boss. In 2010, ranked Death Adder 83rd in 'Top 100 Videogames Villains'.

Donkey Kong seems to get startled much easier in the TV series and is more sensitive. Powers and Abilities [ ] Unlike most characters, who have some kind of special power, Donkey Kong relies mainly on his brute strength to get his way through.

Though his size and weight may suggest otherwise, DK is deceptively fast and agile. In Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat he's shown to very proficient in hand to hand combat, delivering a vast amount of fast punches and kicks in a few seconds and is quick in countering the attacks he dodges. Donkey Kong also has some skill with musical instruments and occasionally can weaponize music and song in combat, most noticeably in his Final Smash from the Smash Bros series. Relationships [ ]. DK and Cranky Kong.

Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong's crabby and constantly rambling grandfather. He also originally had the name Donkey Kong until he turned it over to his replacement, and has not resumed the title since (with the sole exception being re-releases such as games in the ).

In Rare-developed games, DK prefers to keep a then-recent framed photograph of her in. In the TV series, Donkey Kong and Candy Kong are dating. The two love each other, not because of their looks, but for personality. Donkey Kong loves Candy Kong for her sweet side, her kindness, her dedication, and banana cream pies while Candy Kong loves Donkey Kong for his kindness and sweetness. Though Candy Kong can get angry at Donkey Kong for his foolishness as shown in several episodes, though none the less, the two love one another.

One of the evident facts about this is that Mario shares neutral chemistry with Donkey Kong in the series. Other relationships [ ] Pauline was kidnapped by both the in the Arcade, and Game & Watch games, and the current Donkey Kong in the Mario vs.

Donkey Kong series. The original Donkey Kong's motive was revenge against Mario for not being a good pet owner, while the current Donkey Kong had three different variations of the kidnapping.

In March of the Minis, it was due to his perceived rejection of his feelings in favor of Mario, and took Pauline away to shower her with gifts. In Minis March Again!, Donkey Kong appears to have kidnapped Pauline due to theme park tickets being sold out. In Mini-Land Mayhem!, Donkey Kong just missed having the free that was given to the first 100 guests of the theme park, so he takes the real Pauline instead. Although the current Donkey Kong has ultimately proven to have harmless intentions, Mario still assumes the worst when his brash temper acts up and causes him to take her away somewhere. Despite this, Pauline and Donkey Kong remain on friendly terms, and Pauline is generally key to soothing his anger issues.
