When you realize that Donkey Kong was originally Popeye everything all of a sudden makes sense! Bluto\Donkey Kong stealing Popeye's\Mario's girlfriend, Popeye\Mario all of a sudden becoming invincible when gets the spinach\hammer. All in all its a great translation of a popeye cartoon with the limited technology they had at the time.
