Donkey Kong Country
About the Game
Rool has stolen Donkey Kong's banana stash, and Donkey Kong needs your help to get them back. Rool, the Kremling horde impedes your progress. Kremlings, crocodile-like creatures, include Kritters (they succumb to a simple jump on the head), Krushas (they are virtually indestructible), and others. There are also other enemies that block your path, such as beavers, snakes, vultures.
Gameplay & Core Systems
For example, Donkey Kong is generally stronger; he can destroy most enemies with a single jump and can lift barrels straight over his head to throw them farther. On the other hand, Diddy is faster and not as strong as Donkey; he can run really fast and do cartwheels. Diddy carries barrels in front of him, creating a shield against frontal attacks. The game is split into different worlds, which are split into different levels. Each level contains bonus areas, where one can collect bananas, medallions, and lives.
Standout Features
- Super Nintendo: The original Super Nintendo game was later released for Nintendo's handheld systems.
- There is also the additions of a time attack mode called DK Attack, a harder difficulty mode called Hero Mode (can only play as Diddy Kong and the game no longer offers Donkey Kong barrels and checkpoints throughout the levels), and the sticker book idea from the Gameboy Color version was replaced with collecting scrapbook pictures instead.
- Necky Nutmare: The Game Boy Color version has an exclusive level (Necky Nutmare) and additional bonus games, Funky's Fishing and five Crosshair Cranky minigames.
- Beating: The game also uses two more difficulty options that become available after beating the game.Beating the game once lets players turn off DK barrels and beating the game a second time will let players turn off checkpoint barrels.
Modes & Ways to Play
The Game Boy Advance version also had additional bonus games.
Player support includes Hot Seat, Co-Op, and 1-2 Players.
Presentation & Atmosphere
At the end of each world is a boss, which is usually a larger version of a minor enemy.
