3''Donkey Kong 5: [[BlindIdiotTranslation The Journey of Over Time and Space]]'' is a bootleg video game based of ''Franchise/DonkeyKong''. It was developed by Sintax for the Platform/GameBoyColor in presumably 2001.

5The game's story is both simple and rather weird. It's about a kind girl named Sodoma, who managed the world's ecology, but the Lombado (Which doesn't really appear in the game, unless you [[{{Pun}} count]] Dracula) a bducts (sic) her, which destroys bananas and fruit Donkey Kong loved so much. This makes him thinner and thinner, eventually he turns into Diddy Kong. He then sets off to rescue Sodoma.

7The gameplay's just about the same as ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', only there are bananas instead of coins, meat instead of mushrooms, a bell on a rope replaces the flagpole, and the boss is Dracula, not Bowser.

9!!This game provides the following tropes:
10* ArtisticLicenseBiology: No, gorillas don't turn into monkeys when they starve.
11* BlindIdiotTranslation: [[SelfDemonstratingArticle Just read of the game's title]].
12* CompositeCharacter: Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are simply different forms of the same character here, as opposed to being completely different characters in canon.
13* DamselInDistress: Sodoma. The Lombado kidnapped her and Donkey Kong's supposed to rescue her.
14* DarkIsEvil: The Lombado that lives in the darksome comer is also the main antagonist.
15* {{Dracula}}: Serves as a replacement to Bowser.
16* PlayingWithFire: The blue Donkey Kong can shoot fireballs, though the projectiles themselves resemble a KamehameHadoken and travel much faster (and in a straight line) compared to a [=SMB1=] fireball.
17* RecycledSoundtrack: All the music in the game is taken straight from ''VideoGame/PokemonPinball''.
18* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The threat from the intro is either the lombado or the lonbado.
19* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The intro refers to Donkey Kong like such exactly once.
20--->''"[...] the banana and the wild fruit '''the''' Donkey Kong loved had been lacked too."''
21* AWinnerIsYou: The ending's very underwhelming compared to the intro, all you get is a sentence as well as a pic of Donkey Kong and Sodoma.
22* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Beat any world that isn't World 5 and Donkey Kong will seem to save Sodoma... but she'll just fly away in smoke to the next world.
