    Donkey Kong Country!

    The Donkey Kong series is one of the most different adventure video games! The characters, the action, and the sure thrill of adventure makes this game a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

    Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

    Graphics: The graphics are wonderful especially for the Super Nintendo system. The backgrounds are really beautiful!

    Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you find out that it will become more difficult!

    Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

    Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

    Overall: I have always loved Donkey Kong Country! If you like excellent adventure up games then I strongly recommend you play this game!

    To purchase this video game check out Amazon.com!

    The BEST SNES game

    It doesn't need any adapters, the graphics and voice acting are amazing AND it looks 3D, its a great game.

    The Best out of all three, One of the Best Games I've Ever Played Since Childhood

    When the Original Donkey Kong Country came up, It was a very playable game and I've stuck with since the day I was born. Donkey Kong is a sleep and the Kremlins take away his Banana hoard. The next day Doneky & Diddy vow vengeance to get their hoard back.

    The Game is very basic and if you are really good at it, you'll complete the game in an hour. I love the environments that you roam around through from snow mountains to dirty factories.

    It also contains animal buddies to ride, brutal bosses to verse and memorable themes DKC offers a wide range of game play for any fans who are an old fan of old game play.

    I suggest you play this game, it will be the best game you ever play. 9.7/10

    The best selling 16-bit game of all time

    "Gamers will put up with mediocre gameplay, as long as the artwork looks good." These were words spoken by Shigeru Miyamoto, in his initial review of the game. Of course, he later had to eat them when the game became a true success. Ultimately, in most cases when game developers design a game to have phenomenal graphics in comparison to other games, those games usually lack fun gameplay. Not DKC.

    One morning, the chilled out, relaxed Donkey Kong wakes up to find his Banana Hoard robbed, and his Nephew/Little Buddy, Diddy Kong missing. While the mystery of Diddy kong's disappearance and reappearance is solved really quick, the Banana Hoard isn't. It soon becomes evident that the Kremlings, Led by King K. Rool, have taken the bananas and spread them all over the island. With the help of their friends, Cranky Kong, Funky Kong, and DK's Girlfriend, Candy Kong, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must travel across the island's many places to recover the banana hoard, and beat up a few kremlings while they're at it.

    If you're looking for a true 16-bit Masterpiece, Donkey Kong Country is certainly a great choice. It's a simple platformer with plenty of hidden secrets to keep the most determined gamer coming back again and again until the game's finished.

    Note, the Game, and it's sequels are currently available on the E-shop, But due to Nintendo's Shaky Relationship with Rare, the company behind some of your favorite SNES & N64 titles, the games might not be here forever. They were taken off Virtual Console during the Wii's initial run, So you might want to consider buying the games today. and at 8$, it's worth it.

    10/10

    Best game for the Super Nintendo!

    Donkey Kong Country is a really classic game. Everybody who saw it back in 1994 thought that this was a game for Nintendo`s new 64-bit system(Nintendo 64). But Donkey Kong Country was a game for the 16-bit Super Nintendo(Super Famicom in Japan). The extremely good graphics that blew everybody away were possible to do on a SNES(short for Super Nintendo Entertainment System) because the developers discovered a new technique to make SNES-games(the Advanced-Computer-Modelling technique). The graphics are impressive, even by today`s standard. But DKC didn`t become a classic just because it looked lush, it also had gameplay and atmosphere to die for. The levels are highly detailed, there are many of them and the excellent music makes for one he%& of an adventure. The game can be extremely frustrating, and you`ll throw away the control and swear like he¤%, but the game is really worth the bother, so you`ll soon pick up the controller again for one more go. I prefer this to Donkey Kong 64 on the N64. DKC is SO GOOD!! 10/10

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Selling more than 9 million copies, this went on to become the third-best-selling Super Nintendo title in history.
    • Goofs
      King K. Rool is a crocodile and he has a navel, in real life crocodilians and other reptiles do not possess navels, this trait is only found in mammals, more specifically placental mammals. He's an anthropomorphic fictional character, not an anatomically and scientifically correct animal.
    • Quotes

      Cranky Kong (Text Narration): [after Donkey and Diddy defeat King K. Rool] Well done, Donkey, my boy! Who would've thought a young whippersnapper like you could've beaten that bunch of no-good Kremlings? You've made an old man proud! Go and look in your hoard; I think you'll be in for a surprise! If I had been playing, I'd have found everything! I'm sure there must be some bonus rooms you haven't found!

    • Crazy credits
      When you jump on King K. Rool the sixth time, he goes down, then the scene darkens and some goofy credits toll: Kredits Koding...........Klap Trap Karacters........Krusha Kolouring........Kritter Koncept..........Klump Kommander........King K. Rool The End? But watch out because King K. Rool is about to get up again!
    • Alternate versions
      Was rereleased in 2000 for the Game Boy Color with toned down grapics and two new options, a printer mode and a bonus stage.
