Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. Look over the photos for condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

A mine cart rattles off a broken rail, a rocket barrel threads a gauntlet with no room for error, and Donkey Kong runs across a stage rendered entirely in silhouette against a blazing sunset. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D brings Retro Studios' 2010 Wii revival to the 3DS, ported by Monster Games, and it keeps every one of those showpiece moments intact while adding a brand-new world of eight levels made for this release.

The setup is gloriously simple. The Tiki Tak Tribe has hypnotized the island's animals and made off with DK's banana hoard, so Donkey and Diddy set out across jungles, beaches, ancient ruins, factories and a volcano to get it back. Diddy rides on DK's back, and his barrel jetpack adds a short hover that rescues countless mistimed jumps. Every level hides KONG letters and puzzle pieces, and collecting all the letters in a world opens a brutal hidden stage, with the Golden Temple waiting for players who clear them all. Rolling, ground-pounding and blowing are all mapped to buttons here, which many players prefer to the Wii version's shake controls.

The 3DS version's biggest gift is choice. Original Mode keeps the Wii game's strict two-heart challenge, while New Mode adds an extra heart and stocks Cranky Kong's shop with extra items such as the Green Balloon, which floats you back up after a fall, and the Crash Guard, which protects mine cart and rocket barrel rides. That makes this the most approachable version of a famously demanding platformer, without taking anything away from players who want the original difficulty.

Returns was the first new Donkey Kong Country game since Rare's SNES trilogy, and Retro Studios, the team behind Metroid Prime, proved the series could come back with its momentum, secrets and remixed classic music intact. On a 3DS, it is a full-size Donkey Kong Country adventure you can carry anywhere, and the only version with that bonus world of eight extra stages.
