I never played that version where Mario attacks Donkey Kong with Mjolnir.

Mario can use hammers in Donkey Kong, albeit not against Kong himself.

Japanese Famicom/NES cover art

Japanese PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) cover art

The American TurboGrafx-16 (PC Engine) shows the dragon with two heads --- apparently power-ups in the game could increase the head count!

also used for various other computer ports in the West

The cover art for the Sharp X68000 is a rare example of a cover displaying graphics from actual gameplay

New digital cover on Steam and other services:

It's typical. Paintings and drawings are seen as archaic, whether they're movie covers or video game covers.
