It first aired in France on September 4, 1996, and was originally titled ''La Planète Donkey Kong'' ("Planet Donkey Kong").

It premiered late in North America on August 15, 1998, and the original run finished on July 7, 2000; the show is currently airing in Australia as of December 2009. Strangely, many of the episodes were aired out of order, confusing many fans. Regardless of this, ''Donkey Kong Country'' won a publicly-voted award at 7 d'Or in 1999, for "Best Animation and Youth Program" ("Meilleure émission d'animation et de jeunesse"). | ||
The show featured all of the [[Kong]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', except for [[Swanky Kong]] and [[Wrinkly Kong]]. There were also featured characters exclusive to the show, such as [[Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]], [[Kaptain Skurvy]] and [[Bluster Kong]]. Most of the episodes can be seen on the website, [http://www.donkeykong.co.nr/ the Donkey Kong Chronicles]. | The show featured all of the [[Kong]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', except for [[Swanky Kong]] and [[Wrinkly Kong]].

*Interestingly, King K. Rool's name was pronounced two different ways during the first episode. First, he was referred to as "King Kay-Rool", and then "King Kuh-Rool" shortly afterwards. However, after that episode, he was never referred to as "Kay-Rool" again. | *Interestingly, King K. Rool's name was pronounced two different ways during the first episode.
