Donkey Kong Country is a Donkey Kong video game that was first released for the Super Nintendo in 1994. The playable characters in this game are Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. In this game, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must stop King K. Rool and his Kremling Krew and retrieve all of their bananas from their Banana Hoard back.
Later in 2000, this game had a Game Boy Color remake and then another remake for the Game Boy Advance in 2003; these ports feature more gameplay elements.
Blurb
"Donkey Kong is back with a new sidekick, Diddy Kong, in a crazy island adventure! Challenged by the crazed tribe of reptilian Kremlings, they endeavor to get back their stolen banana horde! Armed with lightning-quick moves, chest-pounding muscle and awesome aerial acrobatics, our duo is ready to face their cunning adversaries. With the help of Donkey Kong's quirky family and his wild animal mounts, they squabble and scamper their way through unending monkey mayhem!"
Story
King K. Rool has invaded Donkey Kong Island and taken Donkey Kong's precious Banana Hoard. It is up to Donkey Kong and his nephew Diddy Kong to get them back and drive off K. Rool's Kremling army. They need to get past 7 worlds including Gangplank Galleon, assisted by Animal Buddies and other members of the Kong Family.
Gameplay
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong adventure together to get the Banana Hoard back. The two work in a "tag team" sense which involves one of the Kongs being controlled and when that Kong gets damaged the other Kong rolled in. This also allows a 2nd Player to assume control of Diddy Kong. The two can jump to attack enemies, get to new areas, etc. and they can perform "Barrel Rolls" which involves the Kongs briefly rolling in efforts to attack enemies. Also, the Kongs may encounter Animal Buddies which gives the player an animal to control that has unique powers and abilities that the Kongs do not have on their own.
The game itself is divided into a World Map similar to that of Super Mario Bros. 3 in the sense that there's worlds which contain different levels for the Kongs to complete. Within each level are letters that spell out the word "Kong", finding these letters usually involves the current player exploring heavily through each level and will reward the player's efforts with a 1-Up. Along the world map the player can communicate with other Kongs and play minigames and/or obtain information regarding secrets within levels, how to complete levels, etc.
