''Donkey Kong Country'' ran for three seasons with forty episodes total. Like the ''Mario''-based television series before it, this show generally followed an episodic format. During the run, however, there were some episodes aired out of order from the original airing, such as "Bad Hair Day" being aired as the third episode in its run in the United States despite airing first in France. The second season showed many changes, such as using newer, sleeker styles of computer animation and dropping the use of title screens for the intro to each episode. Also similar to the earlier ''Mario'' cartoons, each episode (excluding "[[Message in a Bottle Show]]") also features one or two original songs based around events in the episode performed by the cast. | ''Donkey Kong Country'' ran for three seasons with forty episodes total.
