Story
The story is the same of the Wii version of Donkey Kong Country Returns. A volcano erupts on Donkey Kong Island, releasing the Tiki Tak Tribe, that invades the jungle to steal every banana they can find, hypnotizing the animals of the place to take the fruit away.

Diddy Kong wakes up, and finds out the Banana Hoard is empty, getting furious in the process. Donkey Kong soon notices the animals leaving the jungle taking the bananas with them. Suddenly, Kalimba Tiki peeps into the DK's house and tries to hypnotise Donkey Kong, but it doesn't effect him. DK easily kicks him out of his house. The Kongs join to take the bananas back.

After traveling through the island, Donkey Kong and Diddy reach the Volcano. There, they meet and face the leader of Tiki Tak Tribe, Tiki Tong. As they defeat him, an explosion sends the Kongs to space. DK punches the Moon down to the island, crushing the volcano and releasing the stolen bananas. The Moon jumps back to space. The Kongs land safely on DK Island, the animals are hit by the many bananas that fall from the volcano and thus freeing themselves from the hypnosis.

Differences and Additions

 * The port version was developed by Monsters Games instead of Retro Studios who developed the original Wii game.
 * The port features a New Mode which:
 * Adds an additional heart to the life meter.
 * Adds additional items in Cranky Kong's Shop, including the Green Balloon, Crash Guard, and DK Barrel.
 * Up to three items can be used in one level.
 * Banana Juice only protects against 5 hits, instead of 10, because of this.
 * Any items that do not get used, are put back into the player's Inventory.
 * Cranky Kong's Keys only cost 10 Banana Coins each, instead of 20 each
 * Banana Juice only costs 7 Banana Coins each, instead of 10 each
 * If the player loses a life under the effects of Banana Juice, they will restart the level (either at the beginning or checkpoint) with the invincibility intact (whereas the original removed the invincibility upon being defeated).
 * Health loss is not evenly distributed (in the original, the player would lose one of Diddy's hearts, then Donkey Kong, etc.). Now, if the player has Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, Diddy's health will be removed first, then Donkey Kong's.
 * Super Guide becomes available after losing only 5 lives, as opposed to 8.
 * The game runs at half the frame rate.
 * The first DK Barrel was removed from Jungle Hijinxs, seemingly to increase difficulty. This change was previously observed when played in Time Attack mode in the original.
 * The game introduces a new world, Cloud, as the ninth and final world with eight additional new levels; the Golden Temple, originally the ninth world in and of itself, becomes the new ninth world's final level.
