Lego Donkey Kong Hack Replicates Classic Gameplay

There’s no chance in hell that developer Traveler’s Tales will ever get to create a Lego game based on a Nintendo franchise, but that didn’t stop Dan Kressin from offering his own take on a Donkey Kong-Lego team-up.

Using an awesome array of Mindstorms — Lego’s programmable bricks — Kressin not only managed to build a level from the classic game, he replicated the gameplay too: barrel rolls down, Mario jumps. You can even hear the tune that starts each level.

Embedded, the glorious contraption in action.
