'''''Donkey Kong Country''''' is a 2003 [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] [[Donkey Kong Country|game of the same name]]. It is less downsized than the game's [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|previous remake]], though it still loses some graphical and sound clarity due to the smaller screen and differing hardware capabilities. Nevertheless, it trades them for new content, such as greater boss diversity and in-game cutscenes.

When selecting a new file, the player can choose either single player or multiplayer; once the player selects a mode, they cannot change it unless they delete it and start a new one. In multiplayer, the first player controls Donkey Kong while the second player controls Diddy Kong. In multiplayer, if either Kong is hit, the other player must press {{button|GBA|select}}, as instructed on the screen, to take over with their Kong. The game keeps a score for both players, to keep track of how many levels they have completed.

|Klap Traps are small, four-legged crocodiles who repeatedly open and close their jaws while moving in the Kongs' direction. Because of this, the Kongs cannot attack Klap Trap by rolling into it from the front. Klap Traps can either be defeated from behind or if jumped over.

A head of either Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong appear on the location of every world and level that either Kong has completed. A Kritter head appears only on the next level or world that the Kongs have not yet completed. In the Super Nintendo version, there is a glitch in single player mode where if Diddy completes a level and then Donkey Kong completes it afterward, his head does not appear on that level.

Most levels have [[Bonus Level]]s in them, two or three on average. They allow the Kongs to collect items and prizes. While it is optional for the Kongs to enter the Bonus Levels, entering every Bonus Level is required for 101% [[Completion|completion]]. Unlike the ''Super Mario'' series, the Kongs are not required to traverse a whole level to reach the end boss.

===Bonus Level Early Exit===
This glitch can only be done in the Game Boy Advance version. The Kongs must go to the first [[Bonus Level]] found in [[Platform Perils]] and stand underneath the fourth barrel and a little to the right of it. Now, the Kongs have to hit this barrel when the G is not showing up. If they do it right, they will lose the bonus level as usual, but they will end up walking out early, not showing their Mini-Game defeat animation. This can be done with either Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong.
