Donkey Kong Country 2 is a 2004 remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest for the Game Boy Advance. It features several differences, including the addition of photographs and extra Cranky's Video Game Hero Coins.

Story

The story is the same as the original, though an introductory cutscene is added, going over the original manual backstory and adding some new details.

Donkey Kong relaxing on the beach, as Cranky rambles about how he never took rest when he was younger.

Some time after the events of Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong is relaxing at a beach, sitting on a chair while drinking a banana milkshake. Funky Kong is busy surfing waves among the seagulls. Cranky Kong walks up to Donkey Kong and hits him on the head with his cane. Cranky asks Donkey Kong why he is sitting around if he is a "big star". Donkey Kong replies that even stars need time off. Cranky says that he never took breaks, "whisking off maidens and throwing barrels seven days a week". Donkey Kong asks Cranky to leave him alone and stop pestering him, so Cranky leaves. Donkey Kong then goes to sleep in his chair.

Above the island, Kaptain K. Rool arrives in his flying fortress, the Flying Krock, and instructs his Kremling minions to ambush and capture Donkey Kong. They succeed, and he taunts Donkey Kong by saying he will never see his home or friends again.

At night, Diddy Kong and his girlfriend, Dixie Kong, are worried because Donkey Kong has not returned. They go to the beach to investigate, and the Kongs find many footprints surrounding Donkey Kong's broken chair. They find a note in the chair which reads:

Hah-arrrrh! We have got the big monkey! If you want him back, you scurvy dogs, you'll have to hand over the banana hoard! Kaptain K. Rool

Cranky suggests handing over the banana hoard to K. Rool. Diddy refuses because of how much effort he and Donkey Kong went through to retrieve the bananas, and that he would be very upset if his bananas were stolen again. Cranky asks if they have any better suggestions, and Diddy and Dixie both say that they want to rescue Donkey Kong themselves. The two get into a brief argument with Cranky, who does not believe Diddy qualifies as a video game hero. Thus, it is up to Diddy to save Donkey, and alongside Dixie, who insists on joining him, starts his journey.

Donkey Kong is held captive in Kaptain K. Rool's airship, the Flying Krock

The two Kongs travel through Crocodile Isle, the home of the Kremlings. They defeat numerous enemies and collect items on their way. Diddy and Dixie first travel aboard Gangplank Galleon, a large pirate ship docked at the coast. After completing the world, Diddy and Dixie move on to the volcanic world, Crocodile Cauldron, then the swampy Krem Quay, then the abandoned amusement park Krazy Kremland, and spooky woods, Gloomy Gulch. Diddy and Dixie eventually reach the end of the sixth world, K. Rool's Keep, where they are ambushed by K. Rool's largest minion, Kerozene. After beating him, they chase K. Rool to the Flying Krock.

Aboard the giant airship, Diddy and Dixie find Donkey Kong tied up, and they battle Kaptain K. Rool. Donkey Kong eventually breaks free from his ropes, and he uppercuts K. Rool out of the roof. Kaptain K. Rool falls down Crocodile Isle and into the surrounding water. However, a waterlogged K. Rool escapes to the Lost World, where he awaits the Kongs for a final battle.

During their adventures, Diddy and Dixie can also enter the Lost World by paying a Kremkoin fee to Klubba at his kiosk. The Kongs eventually enter Crocodile Isle's power source, Krocodile Kore, where they re-encounter Kaptain K. Rool. After a short battle, K. Rool's blunderbuss explodes, which propels him into the energy geyser powering Crocodile Isle. This blocks the power flow, which then destroys Crocodile Isle.

From a cliff, Donkey Kong, Diddy, and Dixie watch as Crocodile Isle explodes while sinking into the ocean. Just before the isle sinks, K. Rool escapes on a boat. In the 102% ending, Funky Kong flies over in the Gyrocopter and drops a bomb on his raft, destroying it. K. Rool vows revenge as he sinks.

Gameplay

Abilities

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest is a 2D platforming game like its predecessor, Donkey Kong Country. The player controls Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong, whose basic abilities include jumping, climbing, and swimming. The Kongs usually jump to cross gaps and grab airborne items. Either Kong can perform a mid-air jump if they cartwheel or spin off a nearby ledge, often necessary for reaching secret areas or collectibles. Like Donkey Kong Country, Diddy can perform a cartwheel attack and still retains his agility (he can jump, climb, run, and swim a bit faster than Dixie). Dixie's equivalent to the cartwheel attack is the Helicopter Spin, where she spins into an enemy. Dixie has the advantage of also being able to perform the ability in mid-air, where she whirls her ponytail to glide to nearby areas or to cross some large gaps. There are more enemies that Diddy and Dixie can defeat by their respective cartwheel or spin attack, rather than a jump attack.

If both Kongs are on screen, they can perform team up, where either Kong piggybacks on the other in front. While this slows Diddy and Dixie's movement, either Kong can be thrown to reach items or higher areas. When a Kong is thrown to a higher platform, the lead Kong automatically moves up there with them.

Diddy holds a carriable object in front of him, which includes barrels, crates, and treasure chests. This way Diddy can defeat an enemy who walks into the object. Dixie holds an object over her head with her ponytail, which defends against foes above her.

The swimming mechanic is derived from earlier installments of the Super Mario series. The player must hit , the jump button, to advance upwards into the water. If the player does not press the button, the Kongs slowly sink to the bottom. Pressing enables them to swim quicker, and controls their ascent and descent.

Modes

The Game Boy Advance version has two mode select screens: player selection (left) and a gameplay selection between the main game and two exclusive modes (right).

When starting a new file, the player has the option to choose between one or two player modes.

Icon	Title	Description
	1 Player	The single-player mode: the player controls both Diddy and Dixie.
	2-Player Team	Two players cooperatively take turns playing through the levels. The first player controls Diddy while the second player does Dixie. Players can change turns by switching the Kongs or by losing their Kongs.

Bonus Games

The Game Boy Advance version features three minigames (more specifically, Bonus Games), which can be accessed from the "Bonus Games" option of the selection menu. The minigames are also in the Kongs' adventure and are hosted by a supporting character. It also includes a time attack mode, which is somewhat a successor to DK Attack from the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country.

Image	Name	Description
	Expresso Racing	A mini-game where Expresso races against three other ostriches within one, two, three, four, or five laps. During the Kongs' adventure, Cranky Kong hosts the Bonus Game at his hut in most worlds, each having their own race. Before a race, the Kongs must power up Expresso's stats with golden feathers, which gives him a winning chance against his opponents. By completing a race, the Kongs are rewarded with one of Cranky's Video Game Hero Coins.
	Funky's Flights	A series of challenges where Diddy or Dixie pilots the Gyrocopter to complete various tasks within three, five, and ten minutes, such as navigating a maze or rescuing a character. During the adventure, Funky hosts a challenge in each world and rewards a Video Game Hero Coin for each completed challenge.
	Bag a Bug	Diddy or Dixie must catch as many fireflies within a minute while avoiding Klubba from swinging his club at them. During the adventure, if the Kongs play this game, Klubba only rewards them with common items (such as Banana Coins and Extra Life Balloons) instead of a Video Game Hero Coin.

Diddy's Dash

Main article: Diddy's Dash

A successor to DK Attack from the previous game's remake, Diddy's Dash involves the player taking control of Diddy only, with the goal doing to complete every level as quickly as possible while being tracked by an on-screen timer.

Characters

Kong Family

Several members of the Kong family appear in the game.

Animal Buddies

Animal Buddies are animals who help Diddy and Dixie on their adventure. Each Animal Buddy has its own abilities to help the Kongs find Bonus Barrels, Cranky's Video Game Hero Coins, Banana Coin, and other collectible items. There are a total of eight Animal Buddies, with one having two variations; as such, this game features the most of any Donkey Kong Country series game. Diddy and Dixie can only transform into or ride five of the Animal Buddies. Animal Buddies have a larger role than in Donkey Kong Country, because many levels cannot be completed without them, and more Bonus Levels can only be accessed by them. Some Animal Buddies can perform a super move, where they build up energy before unleashing a powerful attack.

Ghostly Grove	Klobber Karnage
	Kackle	Kackles are large, skeletal Kremlings who only appear in Haunted Hall. There are four Kackles, each of whom chases the Kongs throughout segments of the level. When the Kongs are chased by a Kackle, a time limit appears on top of the screen, and if it hits zero, the Kackle attacks the Kongs. Diddy and Dixie must run into Plus Barrels, which increase the timer and thus prevent the Kackle from attacking the Kongs, and avoid the Minus Barrels, which reduce the timer.	Haunted Hall

He prevents others from entering the Lost World, but Diddy and Dixie can pay 15 Kremkoins to Klubba from each of his kiosks to access the Lost World from that location and unlock one of its levels. Klubba wields a cudgel, and if the Kongs decide to fight him, Kudgel whacks them out using his cudgel. He also hosts a firefly collecting mini-game.	Klubba's Kiosk
	Krockhead	Krockheads are, as their name suggests, crocodile heads submerged in swamp water and lava. They are used as platforms by Diddy and Dixie to safely cross over. Some Krockheads repeatedly emerge and then sink below, meaning that Diddy and Dixie must quickly jump from them. Green Krockheads are used as standard platforms while the red ones spring the Kongs into the air.	Hot-Head Hop	Mudhole Marsh
	Krook	Krooks are Kremlings wearing a trenchcoat and have two hooks for their hands. They attack by throwing a hook like a boomerang at the Kongs. They can be defeated by a cartwheel or jump attack, though some are out of range and must only be avoided.	Squawks's Shaft	Fiery Furnace
	Kruncha	Krunchas are strong, muscular Kremlings. It is invulnerable to jump attacks, and if Diddy and Dixie attempt it, the Kruncha turns bright red and moves around the area.

Gangplank Galley	Clapper's Cavern
	Kutlass	Kutlasses are short Kremlings who wield two large swords. If the Kongs approach a Kutlass, it chases them and attempts to slash them with their swords.

There are yellow and green varieties, the latter of whom picks up its swords faster after attacking with them.	Krockhead Klamber	Fiery Furnace

Barnacled Bosses

Like Donkey Kong Country, a boss is fought at the end of every world after beating every stage in their respective order. Every boss level has a unique stage, a notable difference from Donkey Kong Country where every boss stage takes place between similar piles of Banana Bunches. Every boss's name in the game begins with 'K'.

Image	Name	Description	First level appearance	Last level appearance
	Krow	Krow is the first boss and is a large vulture who appears at the end of Gangplank Galleon. He attacks by taking a large egg from his nest and throwing it down at the Kongs, or by bumping into his nest, causing numerous large eggs to fall. The Kongs can attack Krow by throwing a large egg at him. After taking four hits, Krow is defeated.	Krow's Nest
	Kleever	Kleever is the second boss and is a giant sword who appears at the end of Crocodile Cauldron. It attacks by swinging itself at Diddy and Dixie, or by launching fireballs from the lava at them. The Kongs can attack Kleever by throwing a kannonball at it. After being hit by a kannonball, hooks drop from the sky, and the Kongs must move to the other side of the arena. Kleever usually rapidly slashes itself after the Kongs. After taking six hits, Kleever is defeated, as it breaks apart into pieces.	Kleever's Kiln	Stronghold Showdown
	Kudgel	Kudgel is the third boss, found at the end of Krem Quay. He is a large muscular Kremling who heavily resembles Klubba, except Kudgel has gray skin. Kudgel wields a large spiked club as a weapon against Diddy and Dixie. He also can jump high and cause the ground to shake from landing. The Kongs must throw a TNT Barrel to attack Kudgel, who gets defeated after taking six hits.	Kudgel's Kontest
	King Zing	King Zing is a large Zinger and the fourth boss, located at the end of Krazy Kremland. He constantly moves around his beehive and is fought by Squawks. King Zing's weakness is his stinger, which Squawks must spit a coconut at to attack him. After taking some hits, King Zing shoots spikes in every direction and then resumes moving around. When King Zing takes six hits, he shrinks to the size of a normal Zinger and summons other Zingers to guard him. Squawks can defeat King Zing by spitting three more coconuts while he is in this state.	Rambi Rumble	King Zing Sting
	Kreepy Krow	Krow's ghost who appears as the fifth boss and is battled at the end of Gloomy Gulch. Here, he is fought in three sections of the stage. He sends ghost Mini-Neckies to attack the Kongs, though one of them is a normal Mini-Necky. By jumping on the live Mini-Necky, a barrel is spawned, which the Kongs must use to attack Krow. After he takes three hits, Krow is defeated again.	Kreepy Krow
	Kerozene	Kerozene is a massive, orange Kremling who only appears in the Game Boy Advance version, at the end of K. Rool's Keep. He attacks the Kongs with his giant hands and by breathing fire at them. The Kongs can attack Kerozene by hitting his face with a kannonball. He sometimes sends weak Kleevers to attack the Kongs.	Stronghold Showdown
	Kaptain K. Rool	Kaptain K. Rool is the pirate alias of King K. Rool. He is the main villain and the final boss. Kaptain K. Rool is first encountered at The Flying Krock and later at the Lost World. In the first battle, at K. Rool Duel, Kaptain K. Rool wields a blunderbuss, which he uses to shoot kannonballs and gases at the Kongs. He also dashes from one side of the arena to the other, attempting to hit Diddy and Dixie. The Kongs can attack Kaptain K. Rool by throwing a kannonball into his blunderbuss. If they do this nine times, Kaptain K. Rool is defeated. In the second battle, at Krocodile Kore, Kaptain K. Rool shoots numerous objects out from his blunderbuss. The last object he shoots out is a barrel containing a kannonball. Unlike the first battle, K. Rool is defeated instantly when the Kongs throw the kannonball into his blunderbuss.	K. Rool Duel	Krocodile Kore

Items

“I've never seen so much worthless rubbish! I'm surprised they don't give you a special "trash barrel" to haul it all around in!”

—Cranky Kong

A variety of items and objects appear throughout the levels, and they each have a unique purpose. Due to the various additional minigames and missions, far more are present than in the original game.
