Play Don Doko Don (Japan) Online
You smash everything in sight with a tiny hammer—blocks, enemies, even the ground—while dodging swarms of baddies in these colorful, collapsing levels. It’s Bubble Bobble meets pure chaos, with that perfect NES chiptune soundtrack.

Don Doko Don is one of those weird, charming NES games that never made it outside Japan—which is a shame, because it’s a total hidden gem. You play as these little guys with hammers, smashing blocks and enemies in these bright, cartoony levels. At first glance, it feels like a mix between Bubble Bobble and Mario Bros., but with its own weird twist.
The arcade version came first in '89, then hit the NES in 1990. It’s simple but surprisingly addictive—you’re mostly just whacking stuff, but the levels get more chaotic fast, with enemies swarming and platforms crumbling. The music’s got that classic upbeat chiptune energy too. If you’re into retro platformers, this one’s worth digging up.
