Pink Panther
The first clip of the fourth episode of Pink Panther and Pals is about the Pink Panther playing various games in an arcade, while Big Nose tries not to make him win and the two eventually get sucked into the games. The episode features parodies to famous videogames, in detail Dance Dance Revolution, Pac-Man, Street Fighter II and Donkey Kong.
The Donkey Kong parody is based on the 25m level, and features a female version of Donkey Kong on top throwing down barrels, that Pink Panther and Big Nose avoid by jumping. On top of the level there isn't Pauline, but instead there's a trampoline that the two characters use to jump out of the game. The score appears to be fixed at 760.

Rubicon Studios and MGM Television, that produced Pink Panther and Pals held no right over Nintendo's Donkey Kong, but they only included a parody of it.
