Handheld game published 43 years ago:

Donkey Kong Jr. (c) 1983 Nintendo Co., Ltd.

The story of the game is the same as the Donkey Kong Jr. arcade game. Mario has locked Donkey Kong up in a cage, and playing as his son, the player has to go out and save him. DK Jr. has to dodge Snapjaws by jumping and grabbing the vines as he moves up the stage. Once he reaches the top, the player must time his jump to grab the key swinging on the vine. The level will then restart with part of Donkey Kong's cage removed. After he has collected the key four times, DK is free and a bonus score is received.

Game B requires more coordination, technique and timing.
