Item Description

Nothing on a 16-bit console was supposed to look like this. Super Donkey Kong, the game the West knows as Donkey Kong Country, turned Nintendo's oldest mascot into a showpiece for a technique Rare called Advanced Computer Modeling: characters and worlds were built as 3D models on Silicon Graphics workstations, then converted into sprites the Super Famicom could handle. Donkey Kong's fur seemed to ripple, barrels had real weight, and the jungle had a depth that made people stop at store displays and stare. When it arrived in late 1994, it looked like it had skipped a console generation.

Underneath the visuals is a fast, tightly built platformer. King K. Rool and his Kremling Krew have stolen Donkey Kong's banana hoard, and DK sets out with his nephew Diddy, swapping between the two at will. Donkey Kong is slower but strong enough to flatten heavier enemies; Diddy is quick and nimble. Barrel cannons blast you across chasms, mine carts rocket along broken track, and animal buddies change the rules of a stage: Rambi the rhino charges straight through enemies and hidden walls, Enguarde the swordfish rules the water, and Expresso the ostrich flutters over gaps. Almost every level hides a bonus room behind a suspicious wall or barrel, and spelling K-O-N-G across a stage becomes a quiet obsession.

The level design keeps changing its mind in the best way. Jungle Hijinxs eases you in, Mine Cart Carnage tests your reflexes on rails, Stop & Go Station switches the lights on and off around a pack of invincible Rockkroc, and Snow Barrel Blast buries the screen in a blizzard. David Wise, with Eveline Fischer and Robin Beanland, wrote a soundtrack that still gets more love than almost any other on the system, and Aquatic Ambience is the piece people hum when they think of 16-bit water levels. Cranky Kong, the cantankerous elder who is the original arcade Donkey Kong, breaks the fourth wall to grumble about modern games, while Funky's Flights and Candy Kong's save points round out the island.

It sold in enormous numbers, helped keep Nintendo's 16-bit machine competitive just as 32-bit consoles were arriving, and launched a series Nintendo would return to decades later with Donkey Kong Country Returns and Tropical Freeze. Two players can share the adventure too, taking turns in a contest or tagging in and out as DK and Diddy in team play. The Super Famicom release is the game in its original Japanese form, under the Super Donkey Kong name it carried at home, a neat twist on a game nearly every SNES owner in the West played as Donkey Kong Country.

About the game

Donkey Kong Country is a side scrolling platformer by British developers Rare in 1994. It featured revolutionary pre-rendered 3D graphics that give the game a very unique look compared to most other games on consoles at the time. The two playable characters featured in the game are the titular character, Donkey Kong and his nephew, Diddy Kong. Together the two swing, climb, jump, swim, cartwheel, ride animals, and blast out of barrels on their way to recover their stolen bannanas from the evil King K. Rool and his Kremling army. The adventure takes you through a variety of different environments and levels that continually change up gameplay. Donkey Kong Country also provides plenty of opportunities for exploration with almost every level having a multitude of collectible, shortcuts, and hidden bonus areas.
