Which Donkey Kong screen/stage is your favorite, and is there a particular port of the game where you enjoy that stage the most?

The first (25 m):

The second aka the pie/cement factory (50 m):

I'm trying to ID the versions of the game you took the level pics from...

25m = Arcade
50m = Atari
75m = Intelevision
100m = NES

Stage 1 is my favorite because its just one of the most classic stages in Nintendo history IMO. Plus I like the barrel jumping :).

Gunstar beat me to the reason why. That first stage just has more going for it, it's iconic, and just downright fun even at the speedier levels. I just dislike the elevator one the most, the other two are fun but the final is kind of plain.

You are correct on both 25 & 100m. 50m is the XM homebrew version of the Atari 7800 port and 75m is the Atarisoft (as opposed to the Ocean) version of the Commodore 64 port.

I like the 3rd Stage with the bouncing obstacles and the way you have to stand in a safe spot as they bounce over you on the top level,the middle area is interesting too as you play cat and mouse trying to out maneuver the fire ball to get across the screen.

This right here. It's so iconic, and just feels the best. The rest are great, too, but board (which, btw, is, I think, the proper way to call them) one is what draws me in.
