Despite the hero/villain placement swap, the overall composition is still highly reminiscent. This motif is seen throughout the artwork on the cabinet. The marquee up top is nearly identical to DK's but with one noteworthy change that carries through most of the artwork: Felix and Ralph's positions are swapped compared to DK and Mario. Let's examine some of the individual elements on their own.Įvidently DK beat Felix to the arcades by a year.
And, upon closer inspection of the artwork, it's crazy how closely the details of Fix-It Felix are modeled off of Donkey Kong. Both cabinets are of near identical design and a very similar shade of blue. Right off the bat, the similarities are obvious. But have you ever noticed just how thorough Disney was in their homage? Let's take a look.Ĭan you spot the differences between the picture on the left and the picture on the right? but the rest of the game notably draws influence from the first game in the series, the original Donkey Kong. The title is an obvious nod to Donkey Kong Jr. In Disney's latest film Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph serves as the villain in a classic arcade game known as Fix-It Felix Jr.
