Don Doko Don is a platformer game where you play as a bearded dwarf whose girlfriend has been kidnapped by a dragon and taken to its castle. Your goal is to rescue her by defeating enemies with your mallet, picking them up and throwing them at other enemies, and collecting the fruit they leave behind.
The gameplay involves navigating through levels, fighting enemies, and avoiding obstacles while trying to complete each level within a certain time limit. If you fail to do so, a winged devil will appear and try to kill you. Throughout the game, power-ups will appear that increase your power, award you with new weapons, or freeze time.
The game is divided into five areas, each consisting of ten levels. At the end of each area, you must defeat a boss in order to proceed further. With increasing power and skill, you'll unlock new abilities and become more formidable in your quest to rescue your girlfriend.

Story
Story
Marry Land was a very peaceful country. Two carpenters, Bob and Jim, lived there.
One day, the King ordered Bob and Jim to find a pillar for his newly building castle. The pair set off into the forest and discovered a massive tree.
They began cutting down the tree with their axes. Pink light burst from inside and flew toward the King's castle. This light revealed itself to be Pigs from the Land of Wonders, who had snatched the King and the Princess.
The Pigs shut the royal family up in a castle high in the clouds, home of the Boar King. Bob and Jim took up hammers to pursue the Pigs into the Land of Wonders and rescue the captives.
