{"product_id":"donkey-kong-66","title":"Donkey Kong 64","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.25em;font-weight:700;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:0.5em;\"\u003eItem Condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDonkey Kong 64 comes complete with the original Nintendo 64 box and the game cartridge — the only thing missing is the manual. The box and cart are the real showstoppers for any N64 collection display, and they're both here. Coolection has fully tested this one, and it was running great — just keep in mind that vintage cartridges can behave a little differently depending on your setup and console.

It's a sprawling 3D collectathon that puts you in control of five playable Kongs — DK, Diddy, Lanky, Tiny, and Chunky — each with their own abilities, instruments, and color-coded collectibles spread across enormous themed worlds. The sheer scale of the adventure was jaw-dropping for its era, and it still carries that sense of ambition today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual design is quintessential Rare at their creative peak, packed with personality from top to bottom. Every world — from the jungle treetops to a pirate ship to a factory floor — is crammed with enemies, puzzles, mini-games, and secrets that reward exploration. The soundtrack by Grant Kirkhope is instantly recognizable, and yes, that means the DK Rap is in there. Say what you will, but nobody who played this game as a kid has ever forgotten it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleting Donkey Kong 64 is a genuinely massive undertaking, with hundreds of Golden Bananas, colored coins, and Banana Medals spread across the game's many stages. Whether you're revisiting it after years away or experiencing it for the first time, it's a time capsule of everything that made late-90s 3D platformers feel like pure discovery. Having the original box puts this copy a significant step above a bare cartridge on any N64 shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is ideal for the dedicated N64 collector who wants the authentic boxed presentation, or the returning player ready to dive back into one of the console's most ambitious adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coolection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57264159850662,"sku":"PCP-3742-NM","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/7404\/4838\/files\/PCP-3742-NM-1.webp?v=1788732041","url":"https:\/\/coolection.com\/products\/donkey-kong-66","provider":"Coolection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
