Popeye's a close match. You'd have to rotate the monitor 90-degrees though.
I'd recommend not doing that though - go with a Double Kong.

Not sure about Mario Bros - definitely used a different control panel (for
two simultaneous players).

Donkey Kong Junior is a plug and play swap in the upright cabinet.

Neither of these have the small black sockets to use a DK harness.
The edge connector is close, but DK cabs didn't have an edge connector
harness.

Popeye does have places to add them...

Plain .1" headers work great if you don't care about keying... heh.
