A strange little side quest
A little context makes Rolling Evolution more fun to place on the gaming map. Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 with a character called Jumpman, who would later become one of gaming's most recognizable figures: Mario. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Rolling Evolution feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
