'''''Donkey Kong Country''''' is a side-scrolling [[Genre#Platform|platform]] game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] released in November 1994. It was developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. The game stars [[Donkey Kong]] and his sidekick [[Diddy Kong]], as the two travel across [[Donkey Kong Island]] to recover their [[banana hoard]], stolen by the [[Kremling]]s and their leader, [[King K. Rool]].

Line 19:

The game reintroduced the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' series (alongside the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|1994 Game Boy game]] released a few months prior) after a nearly decade-long hiatus, and in doing also introduced Donkey Kong's modern design, his supporting cast and enemies, setting, musical motifs, and the gameplay mechanics that most of the following ''Donkey Kong'' games as well as Donkey Kong's appearances in ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' spin-off titles would build upon. The game's success spawned multiple sequels and spin-offs, a [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|40-episode 3D animated series]], a [[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|chapter book adaptation]], manga adaptations in ''Mario''-related publications such as [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha's ''Super Mario'' manga]] and ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', and other merchandise. ''Donkey Kong Country'' was notable because of its pre-rendered sprites that were converted from 3D CGI models on {{wp|Silicon Graphics}} workstations<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet, page 32</ref>, inspiring future video games to do the same. ''Donkey Kong Country'' was followed by two sequels: ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' in 1995 and 1996.

The game was remade for the [[Game Boy Color]] in 2000 and was also remade again for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2003. Both [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]]s feature some extra Bonus Games and the ability to save in the overworld. ''Donkey Kong Country'' was ported to the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in 2006/2007. On November 25, 2012, for reasons unknown, ''Donkey Kong Country'' and its sequels were delisted from the Wii Virtual Console,<ref>[http://gimmegimmegames.com/2012/11/nintendo-removing-all-donkey-kong-country-games-from-virtual-console/ Nintendo removing all ''Donkey Kong Country'' games from Virtual Console - Gimme Gimme Games]</ref> but on October 30, 2014, the games were relisted in Europe and Australia. Around the same time, the games were released on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in Europe and Australia, in Japan on November 26, 2014, and in the United States and Canada on February 26, 2015. For handhelds, ''Donkey Kong Country'' was ported exclusively to the [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in March 2016. It is one of the 21 games included on the [[Classics#Super NES Classic Edition|Super NES Classic Edition]] and was made available on [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on July 15, 2020.

In 1995, a specialized competition variant named ''[[Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge]]'' was manufactured for use in various video game tournaments held throughout 1995. After that, the few existing cartridges were sold in a [[Nintendo Power]] subscriber catalogue, and the carts have since become a collector's item.

==Story==

{{quote|I'll hunt them down through every part of my island, until I have every banana from my hoard back!!|Donkey Kong}}

~~[[File:Diddy guarding Banana Hoard DKC GBA intro.png|thumb|left|240px|Diddy guards the banana hoard at the start of the game (GBA version)]]~~

During a stormy night on [[Donkey Kong Island]], Donkey Kong orders [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] to guard his [[banana hoard]] for his "hero training" until midnight. While watching for predators beneath the darkness, Diddy hears noises outside. He nervously asks, "W-w-who goes there?!". An ominous voice tells the other to seal Diddy in a barrel, kick it into the bushes, and steal the bananas. Diddy gets ambushed by [[Kremling]]s, some of which he manages to defeat with his [[Cartwheel Attack]] until being overpowered by [[Klump]]. He seals Diddy in a [[DK Barrel]] and kicks it across the jungle. The Kremlings load the entire banana hoard onto their vehicles and carry them through the jungle, dropping behind trails of bananas.

The next morning, Donkey Kong wakes up by a loud calling of his name. Realizing that he slept through his watch, Donkey Kong quickly exits his tree house, only to find [[Cranky Kong]] outside. Cranky prompts Donkey Kong to check the [[banana hoard|banana cave]] for a "big surprise". Inside the cave, Donkey Kong finds out that all of his bananas were stolen, with only a few discarded peels lying around. Cranky mocks Donkey Kong for shirking his responsibility, noting that Diddy is also gone. Meanwhile, Donkey Kong is in disbelief over his stolen bananas and rages that the Kremlings stole all of them. Donkey Kong vows to bring payback upon the Kremlings and recover his banana hoard.

~~[[File:DK and Cranky DKC GBA intro.png|thumb|left|240px|Cranky wakes up Donkey Kong to tell him about the stolen bananas]]~~

Cranky breaks the [[fourth wall]] by questioning why the "game idea" involves finding Diddy and rescuing bananas instead of a damsel in distress. Donkey Kong tells how Diddy wishes to be a video game hero like Donkey Kong. Cranky believes neither of them are suitable for being video game heroes, and he goes on to brag about his popularity during [[Donkey Kong (game)|the arcade era]]. Deeming the adventure "ridiculous", Cranky believes Donkey Kong would be lucky to even sell ten copies of the game. Donkey Kong gets mad at Cranky and insists on going on an adventure to save Diddy and recover the stolen bananas. Donkey Kong leaves and follows a trail of bananas along his way. Cranky briefly hesitates, but then follows after Donkey Kong. Cranky mumbles that Donkey Kong may need his help and further mentions that kids do not have respect for their elders anymore.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country Instruction Booklet'', Nintendo, 1994, pages 4-7</ref>

In the first level, Donkey Kong releases Diddy Kong, who tags along during the adventure. Together, the [[Kong]]s travel through various areas, including jungles, mines, forests, temples, snowy mountains, caves, and factories. With assistance from [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]], [[Funky Kong|Funky]], and [[Candy Kong]], the two Kongs eventually reach a large pirate ship, the [[Gangplank Galleon]], where they are confronted by the Kremling Krew's leader, King K. Rool. After Donkey Kong and Diddy defeat King K. Rool, Cranky congratulates them and tells them to check the banana hoard. They do so, finding that the bananas have been returned.

In the Game Boy Advance remake, the introduction cutscene for starting a new save file is an abridged version of the instruction booklet story. The ending to the remake was altered; after King K. Rool's defeat, Cranky, Funky, and Candy congratulate Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong on their victory. King K. Rool soon recovers, forces them off the ship and sails away, vowing to return.

==Gameplay==

The game introduces the "tag-team" system, where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong follow each other throughout the levels. The Kong in front is the one currently in play, while the other Kong follows behind. If the Kong in play is injured, he quickly runs off the screen ~~(or falls off the screen in the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes)~~, and the other takes its place. If this happens, only one Kong is on the screen at a time. If the lone Kong is injured by an enemy, the player loses an [[extra life]] and must restart the level either from the start or from the activated [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]]. Any Kong that is missing can be recovered from a [[DK Barrel]]. When either the Kongs are freed from a DK Barrel, he goes behind the Kong in play. The player can press {{button|snes|A}} to switch characters, in which case Donkey Kong high-fives Diddy to switch places with him, or vice versa.

In the Game Boy Color remake, only one Kong appears on screen at a time, like the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games. If both Kongs are in the group, the one not in play is represented by a DK Barrel icon at the bottom-left corner. By pressing {{button|gbc|Select}}, the player can switch characters, which shows the Kong in play being moved to the DK Barrel icon while the other Kong moves out to appear on-screen.

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 a button to take over with their Kong. The game keeps a score for both players, to keep track of how many levels they have completed.

In addition to saving at a world's [[Save Point|Candy's Save Point]], the Kongs can also use [[Funky's Flights]] to save at a previous world (except in the first world). In each world, they can save after every level once they encounter either of these amenities.

*In [[Kongo Jungle]], Funky's Flights can be accessed after [[Coral Capers]], and Candy's Save Point can be accessed after [[Barrel Cannon Canyon]]. The Kongs can save after five levels.

*In [[Monkey Mines]], Candy's Save Point and Funky's Flights can ~~both~~ be accessed after [[~~Stop & Go Station~~]]. The Kongs can save after four levels.

*In [[Monkey Mines]], Candy's Save Point can be accessed after [[Stop & Go Station]], and Funky's Flights can be accessed after [[Millstone Mayhem]]. The Kongs can save after four levels.

*In [[Vine Valley]], Funky's Flights can be accessed after [[Tree Top Town]], and Candy's Save Point can be accessed after [[Orang-utan Gang]]. The Kongs can save after two levels.

*In [[Gorilla Glacier]], Candy's Save Point and Funky's Flights can both be accessed after [[Torchlight Trouble]]. The Kongs can save after five levels.

==Differences in other versions==

~~===Super Nintendo Entertainment System===~~

Line 648:

Line 744:

**The [[oil drum]]s in [[Oil Drum Alley]] have a longer gap between the times when they release flames, thus making them attack less frequently.

**The moving platforms in [[Trick Track Trek]] do not automatically drop at the end of their cables, giving the player more time to jump off.

~~===Game Boy Color===~~

~~[[File:Necky Nutmare.png|200px|thumb|Diddy Kong in Necky Nutmare, a level exclusive to the Game Boy Color remake]]~~

''Donkey Kong Country'' was remade for the [[Game Boy Color]] in 2000. It was released in Japan under the title ''Donkey Kong 2001'' (ドンキーコング2001) and, as the name implies, it was released there in 2001. There are several differences, some of which are because of the Game Boy Color's limited hardware capabilities. Differences include:

*The GBC version prompts the player to select a language before going to the title screen, in the SNES version the language select menu is found in the file select. Also unlike the SNES version, all of the text will be in the selected language instead of having menus still in English.

*There are three different title screens.

*There is no two-player option for adventure mode.

*The mode selection menu is reminiscent of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''{{'}}s.

*Much like the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games, only one Kong appears at time. A DK Barrel icon is shown if both Kongs are in a group.

*In the German version, many levels' names were changed to ones that more closely resemble their English names.

*[[DK Sticker Pack]]s are newly collectible photographs hidden in a level of each world. They are viewable from the [[Sticker Book]], and can even be printed from the Game Boy Printer.

*Due to the graphical limitations, the stormy weather effects in the levels Ropey Rampage and Snow Barrel Blast are not present in this version. Also, perhaps ironically, the misty effect in Misty Mine is not present here.

*The light in Torchlight Trouble does not have a beam of light, but rather lights up the whole screen.

*The level Winky's Walkway has been extended with some more enemies and a different layout.

*In Millstone Mayhem, the Gnawties sit on top of the millstones rather than in the middle.

*A new level called Necky Nutmare has been added in Chimp Caverns.

*The Kongs do not ride the Animal Friends; rather, they transform into them when jumping on the animal crate. If an Animal Friend comes in contact with an enemy, it reverts to Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong, who cannot transform back into the Animal Friend unless they find another animal crate.

*The Kongs do not travel between levels on the world map along dots in a straight line, but rather following paths, similar to ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.

*Two mini-games have been added: Funky hosts a fishing game known as [[Funky's Fishing]] (which would be later reprised in the GBA remake) and Cranky hosts a shooting game called [[Crosshair Cranky]].

*Two additional difficulties have been added: the first one removes DK Barrels and the other removes [[Star Barrel]]s. After beating the game in the normal difficulty, the player has to replay the game with each new difficulty in the same file to achieve 101% completion.

*Most of the music and sound effects were taken from ''Donkey Kong Land'' or downgraded for Game Boy Color. Its Forest Frenzy track was even entirely newly composed.

*The warping Blast Barrel in [[Mine Cart Carnage]] was removed.

*The game saves automatically after completing a level. As a result, Candy's Save Point was replaced by [[Candy's Challenge]] where Donkey Kong or Diddy must complete a challenge in each world.

*The staff credits shows various screenshots instead of taking place in [[DK's Tree House]]. The cast of characters no longer appears in the game.

~~===Game Boy Advance===~~

~~[[File:Candy's Dance Studio.png|200px|thumb|Gameplay of the Candy's Dance Studio minigame]]~~

Another remake of the game was made for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, this one more closely resembling the original in terms of graphics and sound due to the system's more powerful hardware. Even so, the game features several differences from the original:

*An intro cutscene is played when the player starts a new file, which is an abridged version of the story from the manual.

**Regarding the cutscene, a difference between the cutscene and the manual was who ended up being responsible for subduing Diddy. In the cutscene, it was Krusha. In the manual, it was Klump.

*A "Time Attack" mode has been added, called [[DK Attack]], where Donkey and Diddy Kong must collect objects and complete the level in a certain amount of time.

*Rock Krocs can now be defeated by Donkey Kong's [[Hand Slap]] when they are stopped by [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s.

*Some enemies come in different colors (normal Gnawties are blue, normal Kritters are purple, etc.) The original colors of some of said enemies are briefly featured in the credits.

*The Blast Barrels that send the Kongs to [[bonus room]]s are replaced by the [[Bonus Barrel]]s used in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3''.

**Bonus rooms now have title cards ("Find the Exit", "Stop the Barrel", etc); this is another carryover from the sequels.

**Also, as in the sequels, bonus rooms can now be reentered.

*The Blast Barrels that send the Kongs near the end of the level are replaced by [[Warp Barrel]]s.

**The Warp Barrel in [[Millstone Mayhem]] has a different location, while the Warp Barrels in [[Vulture Culture]], [[Tree Top Town]], and [[Slipslide Ride]] were removed. In contrast, more Warp Barrels where added in the early levels, so all the levels in Kongo Jungle and Monkey Mines have one. This is a carryover from the sequels, which only have Warp Barrels in all the levels from their first two worlds.

**When the heroes enter a Warp Barrel, they are sent into a short area that contains a group of bananas that spell out the word "WARP". In the original version of the game, as well as in the Game Boy Color version, the original barrel simply sends them to the end of the level and not into this short area.

*From Vine Valley onwards, there are some changes from the original:

**The bosses are fought a little differently:

***Queen B. now has several Zingers surrounding her when she gets hit and turns red, which all must be taken out with barrels before she can be damaged again. The Zingers' placement changes after each hit.

***Really Gnawty, rather than making high leaps after being hit, leaps over to the side of the stage, and causes stalactites to fall from the ceiling, before leaping around again.

***After defeating the enemies that Dumb Drum drops, as it attempts to crush the player, the player must throw TNT Drums at it to damage it.

***The player battles both Master Necky Snr. and Master Necky simultaneously. Rather than tossing an increasing number of nuts, Master Necky Snr. and Master Necky each toss a single nut at the same time, before either can be hit. After one is defeated, the other will toss four nuts before being vulnerable.

**Some of the levels in the third through fifth worlds are reordered:

***Temple Tempest is the sixth level in Vine Valley, rather than the fourth. This makes Orang-utan Gang and Clam City the fourth and fifth levels, respectively.

***In Gorilla Glacier, Ice Age Alley and Croctopus Chase swapped placements, and so too have Rope Bridge Rumble and Torchlight Trouble.

***In Kremkroc Industries Inc., Poison Pond and Elevator Antics are swapped. Blackout Basement and Mine Cart Madness are also swapped.

*Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty swapped colors, but in accordance to the normal Gnawties' color change, Really Gnawty is now blue instead of grayish-green.

*Some unused elements from the original that were still kept in its data were used in this remake. Examples include Necky's falling feathers when defeated, Cranky Kong's walking sprites and most of his unused dialogues.

*After each boss, Cranky Kong comes out and compliments the Kongs on beating the boss while criticizing the bosses.

*The game can be saved at any time or place, including halfway points in levels. With this, Candy's save areas are replaced with [[Candy's Dance Studio|a dance studio]], with different theme music. Here, a dancing minigame can be played.

*After meeting Funky (who also has different music) once, he can be summoned anytime on the world map.

*From [[Monkey Mines]] onward, the maps have been redesigned. The world maps are also zoomed in more.

**On the world map, rather than in straight lines, the Kongs follow curved pathways between each level, similar to the sequels. The flashing ovals that mark the path are replaced with banana peels.

*Some of the level backgrounds are edited:

**At the end of [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]], the time of day does not change to night, unlike in the original.

***Likewise, [[Ropey Rampage]] remains overcast and stormy throughout. These changes were likely made to make the levels easier to see on the original, unlit Game Boy Advance screen.

**The walls behind [[Stop & Go Station|the]] [[Misty Mine|mine]] [[Loopy Lights|levels']] ground areas are hollowed out slightly, as the background can be seen through them.

***Loopy Lights's background is changed to that of [[Mine Cart Carnage]] and Misty Mine.

**[[Slipslide Ride]]'s farthest background is now gem-filled, rather than plain purple.

*Various foreground objects were added to some level environments that lacked them (ex: temple levels with trees in front, beams in mine levels).

*To get [[Completion#Donkey Kong Country|101% Completion]], the player now also has to collect all of the K-O-N-G Letters and fill up the scrapbook.

**The game exclusively features the "Hero Mode", unlocked for getting at least 90% completion on a save file. In this mode, the player controls a yellow-clothed Diddy, who must complete every level without the help of Continue Barrels or DK. However, the player can get the 101% the same way as in the original.

*When the player saves the game, it also saves the number of lives and bananas the Kongs have, unlike in the original, which resets the count to five extra lives and no bananas every time that the game is reset.

*The game has more sound effects and character voices, particularly from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', and enemies have different sound effects when beaten.

**Donkey, Diddy, and King K. Rool now reuse their voice clips from ''Donkey Kong 64''.

*K-O-N-G Letters spin around as in the sequels, instead of always facing the screen; they also no longer sparkle or shimmer. This makes their animations more consistent in the series.

*A scrapbook, similar to the one in the Game Boy Color version, was added; the Kongs have to collect [[photograph]]s throughout the game in order to add pictures to it.

*The Two Player Contest option (while starting a new file) was removed. This option was removed in the remakes of its two sequels as well.

*[[Very Gnawty]] appears in [[DK's Tree House]] after defeating [[Really Gnawty]]. When it realizes that the Kongs have arrived, Very Gnawty hops past them and out of the front door. This can be performed only once per file, however.

*Queen B is now dizzy upon defeat in addition to moving constantly. In the original, she just occasionally moved.

*The cast of characters take place on [[Gangplank Galleon]] instead of DK's Tree House.

**Only the enemies, bosses, and animal buddies are shown with their names during the cast scene; the Kongs are not listed.

**After the cast of characters finishes, the Kongs are all shown on the Gangplank Galleon contemplating their adventure, when King K. Rool forces them off with the threat of using the ship's onboard cannons to blow up Donkey Kong Island. As the Kongs swim back to shore, K. Rool promises to return as his ship sails away. Cranky then criticizes the ending as a cheap attempt at [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|setting up for a sequel]].

==Glitches==

~~===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.

Rare demoed an early version of the game at Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto. Reception of the demo was mixed, with [[Gunpei Yokoi]] remarking that the game looked "too 3D".<ref name="Retrogamer"/> However, Shigeru Miyamoto approved of what was done with the project. He and his staff gave advice to Rare on how to improve the game, with one of the results being the implementation of the [[Hand Slap]] move a few weeks before completion.<ref name="Retrogamer"/>

~~===Game Boy Advance remake===~~

The [[Game Boy Advance]] remake was coded from scratch.<ref name="DK Vine">[http://www.dkvine.com/features/stamped_dkcgba.html DK Vine: The ''Donkey Kong Country'' GBA Trilogy]</ref> The developers extensively playtested the port to make sure the physics and controls were true to the original version, though some deviations were made to improve some mechanics and the level design.<ref name="DK Vine"></ref>

Some of the floppies containing the original graphic assets were lost, while the surviving ones were disorganized and mostly unusable. To remedy this problem, team members ripped the sprites using an emulator.<ref name="DK Vine"></ref> Most of the backgrounds were redone from the ground up to fit the Game Boy Advance's screen resolution, scale, and color palette.

==Reception==

At the time of its release, ''Donkey Kong Country'' received universal acclaim by critics and audiences, with the game being praised for its visuals, controls, and replayability. The massive hype it received due to its innovative use of pre-rendered 3D sprites and subsequent commercial success has been credited with extending the SNES's lifespan and help the system stay relevant in the face of the next-generation {{wp|Sega Saturn}} and {{wp|PlayStation (console)|PlayStation}} consoles.<ref>Jeremy Parish (August 8, 2016). [http://www.usgamer.net/articles/reconsidering-donkey-kong-country-gamings-empty-handed-bluff ''Donkey Kong Country'', Gaming's Biggest Bluff]. ''USGamer''. Retrieved September 26 2017</ref> The [[Game Boy Color]] remake was similarly praised for taking a graphically-impressive title and putting it to the platform in a complete and technically competent form, in contrast to other unsuccessful attempts at directly porting or remaking home console games for handhelds. The game was placed 39th in the 100th issue of ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997 and it was rated the 90th best game on a Nintendo system in their top 200 games list in 2006.

Following Rare's acquisition by Microsoft, ''Donkey Kong Country'' experienced a period of backlash. ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' placed the game in their top 10 overrated games list (despite the publication previously awarding it the 1994 Game of the Year award), and, in their review of the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] version, stated that the game did not hold up. Similarly, GameSpy placed it ninth on their list of the top 25 most overrated games of all time.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070113045844/http://archive.gamespy.com/articles/september03/25overrated/index18.shtml</ref> Regardless, the Game Boy Advance and [[Virtual Console]] re-releases were still positively received.

Despite being a little rough around the edges, Donkey Kong Country once again proves that stereotypes and misconceptions can be broken. The quality of a game doesn't rest with what system it's on, but with those who make it.

 '''''Donkey Kong Country''''' is a side-scrolling [[Genre#Platform|platform]] game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] released in November 1994. It was developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. The game stars [[Donkey Kong]] and his sidekick [[Diddy Kong]], as the two travel across [[Donkey Kong Island]] to recover their [[banana hoard]], stolen by the [[Kremling]]s and their leader, [[King K. Rool]].

 The game reintroduced the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' series (alongside the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|1994 Game Boy game]] released a few months prior) after a nearly decade-long hiatus, and in doing also introduced Donkey Kong's modern design, his supporting cast and enemies, setting, musical motifs, and the gameplay mechanics that most of the following ''Donkey Kong'' games as well as Donkey Kong's appearances in ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' spin-off titles would build upon. The game's success spawned multiple sequels and spin-offs, a [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|40-episode 3D animated series]], a [[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|chapter book adaptation]], manga adaptations in ''Mario''-related publications such as [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha's ''Super Mario'' manga]] and ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', and other merchandise. ''Donkey Kong Country'' was notable because of its pre-rendered sprites that were converted from 3D CGI models on {{wp|Silicon Graphics}} workstations<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet, page 32</ref>, inspiring future video games to do the same. ''Donkey Kong Country'' was followed by two sequels: ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' in 1995 and 1996.
-The game was remade for the [[Game Boy Color]] in 2000 and was also remade again for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2003. Both [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]]s feature some extra Bonus Games and the ability to save in the overworld. ''Donkey Kong Country'' was ported to the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in 2006/2007. On November 25, 2012, for reasons unknown, ''Donkey Kong Country'' and its sequels were delisted from the Wii Virtual Console,<ref>[http://gimmegimmegames.com/2012/11/nintendo-removing-all-donkey-kong-country-games-from-virtual-console/ Nintendo removing all ''Donkey Kong Country'' games from Virtual Console - Gimme Gimme Games]</ref> but on October 30, 2014, the games were relisted in Europe and Australia. Around the same time, the games were released on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in Europe and Australia, in Japan on November 26, 2014, and in the United States and Canada on February 26, 2015. For handhelds, ''Donkey Kong Country'' was ported exclusively to the [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in March 2016.

 ==Story==
 {{quote|I'll hunt them down through every part of my island, until I have every banana from my hoard back!!|Donkey Kong}}
-[[File:Diddy guarding Banana Hoard DKC GBA intro.png|thumb|left|240px|Diddy guards the banana hoard at the start of the game (GBA version)]]
 During a stormy night on [[Donkey Kong Island]], Donkey Kong orders [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] to guard his [[banana hoard]] for his "hero training" until midnight. While watching for predators beneath the darkness, Diddy hears noises outside. He nervously asks, "W-w-who goes there?!". An ominous voice tells the other to seal Diddy in a barrel, kick it into the bushes, and steal the bananas. Diddy gets ambushed by [[Kremling]]s, some of which he manages to defeat with his [[Cartwheel Attack]] until being overpowered by [[Klump]]. He seals Diddy in a [[DK Barrel]] and kicks it across the jungle. The Kremlings load the entire banana hoard onto their vehicles and carry them through the jungle, dropping behind trails of bananas.
 The next morning, Donkey Kong wakes up by a loud calling of his name. Realizing that he slept through his watch, Donkey Kong quickly exits his tree house, only to find [[Cranky Kong]] outside. Cranky prompts Donkey Kong to check the [[banana hoard|banana cave]] for a "big surprise". Inside the cave, Donkey Kong finds out that all of his bananas were stolen, with only a few discarded peels lying around. Cranky mocks Donkey Kong for shirking his responsibility, noting that Diddy is also gone. Meanwhile, Donkey Kong is in disbelief over his stolen bananas and rages that the Kremlings stole all of them. Donkey Kong vows to bring payback upon the Kremlings and recover his banana hoard.
-[[File:DK and Cranky DKC GBA intro.png|thumb|left|240px|Cranky wakes up Donkey Kong to tell him about the stolen bananas]]
 Cranky breaks the [[fourth wall]] by questioning why the "game idea" involves finding Diddy and rescuing bananas instead of a damsel in distress. Donkey Kong tells how Diddy wishes to be a video game hero like Donkey Kong. Cranky believes neither of them are suitable for being video game heroes, and he goes on to brag about his popularity during [[Donkey Kong (game)|the arcade era]]. Deeming the adventure "ridiculous", Cranky believes Donkey Kong would be lucky to even sell ten copies of the game. Donkey Kong gets mad at Cranky and insists on going on an adventure to save Diddy and recover the stolen bananas. Donkey Kong leaves and follows a trail of bananas along his way. Cranky briefly hesitates, but then follows after Donkey Kong. Cranky mumbles that Donkey Kong may need his help and further mentions that kids do not have respect for their elders anymore.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country Instruction Booklet'', Nintendo, 1994, pages 4-7</ref>
 In the first level, Donkey Kong releases Diddy Kong, who tags along during the adventure. Together, the [[Kong]]s travel through various areas, including jungles, mines, forests, temples, snowy mountains, caves, and factories. With assistance from [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]], [[Funky Kong|Funky]], and [[Candy Kong]], the two Kongs eventually reach a large pirate ship, the [[Gangplank Galleon]], where they are confronted by the Kremling Krew's leader, King K. Rool. After Donkey Kong and Diddy defeat King K. Rool, Cranky congratulates them and tells them to check the banana hoard. They do so, finding that the bananas have been returned.
-In the Game Boy Advance remake, the introduction cutscene for starting a new save file is an abridged version of the instruction booklet story. The ending to the remake was altered; after King K. Rool's defeat, Cranky, Funky, and Candy congratulate Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong on their victory. King K. Rool soon recovers, forces them off the ship and sails away, vowing to return.
 {{br|left}}
 ==Gameplay==
-The game introduces the "tag-team" system, where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong follow each other throughout the levels. The Kong in front is the one currently in play, while the other Kong follows behind. If the Kong in play is injured, he quickly runs off the screen (or falls off the screen in the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes), and the other takes its place. If this happens, only one Kong is on the screen at a time. If the lone Kong is injured by an enemy, the player loses an [[extra life]] and must restart the level either from the start or from the activated [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]]. Any Kong that is missing can be recovered from a [[DK Barrel]]. When either the Kongs are freed from a DK Barrel, he goes behind the Kong in play. The player can press {{button|snes|A}} to switch characters, in which case Donkey Kong high-fives Diddy to switch places with him, or vice versa.

-In the Game Boy Color remake, only one Kong appears on screen at a time, like the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games. If both Kongs are in the group, the one not in play is represented by a DK Barrel icon at the bottom-left corner. By pressing {{button|gbc|Select}}, the player can switch characters, which shows the Kong in play being moved to the DK Barrel icon while the other Kong moves out to appear on-screen.

-===Game Boy Color===
-[[File:Necky Nutmare.png|200px|thumb|Diddy Kong in Necky Nutmare, a level exclusive to the Game Boy Color remake]]
-''Donkey Kong Country'' was remade for the [[Game Boy Color]] in 2000. It was released in Japan under the title ''Donkey Kong 2001'' (ドンキーコング2001) and, as the name implies, it was released there in 2001. There are several differences, some of which are because of the Game Boy Color's limited hardware capabilities. Differences include:
-*The GBC version prompts the player to select a language before going to the title screen, in the SNES version the language select menu is found in the file select. Also unlike the SNES version, all of the text will be in the selected language instead of having menus still in English.
-*There are three different title screens.
-*There is no two-player option for adventure mode.
-*The mode selection menu is reminiscent of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''{{'}}s.
-*Much like the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games, only one Kong appears at time. A DK Barrel icon is shown if both Kongs are in a group.
-*In the German version, many levels' names were changed to ones that more closely resemble their English names.
-*[[DK Sticker Pack]]s are newly collectible photographs hidden in a level of each world. They are viewable from the [[Sticker Book]], and can even be printed from the Game Boy Printer.
-*Due to the graphical limitations, the stormy weather effects in the levels Ropey Rampage and Snow Barrel Blast are not present in this version. Also, perhaps ironically, the misty effect in Misty Mine is not present here.
-*The light in Torchlight Trouble does not have a beam of light, but rather lights up the whole screen.
-*The level Winky's Walkway has been extended with some more enemies and a different layout.
-*In Millstone Mayhem, the Gnawties sit on top of the millstones rather than in the middle.
-*A new level called Necky Nutmare has been added in Chimp Caverns.
-*The Kongs do not ride the Animal Friends; rather, they transform into them when jumping on the animal crate. If an Animal Friend comes in contact with an enemy, it reverts to Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong, who cannot transform back into the Animal Friend unless they find another animal crate.
-*The Kongs do not travel between levels on the world map along dots in a straight line, but rather following paths, similar to ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.
-*Two mini-games have been added: Funky hosts a fishing game known as [[Funky's Fishing]] (which would be later reprised in the GBA remake) and Cranky hosts a shooting game called [[Crosshair Cranky]].
-*Two additional difficulties have been added: the first one removes DK Barrels and the other removes [[Star Barrel]]s. After beating the game in the normal difficulty, the player has to replay the game with each new difficulty in the same file to achieve 101% completion.
-*Most of the music and sound effects were taken from ''Donkey Kong Land'' or downgraded for Game Boy Color. Its Forest Frenzy track was even entirely newly composed.
-*The warping Blast Barrel in [[Mine Cart Carnage]] was removed.
-*The game saves automatically after completing a level. As a result, Candy's Save Point was replaced by [[Candy's Challenge]] where Donkey Kong or Diddy must complete a challenge in each world.
-*The staff credits shows various screenshots instead of taking place in [[DK's Tree House]]. The cast of characters no longer appears in the game.
-===Game Boy Advance===
-[[File:Candy's Dance Studio.png|200px|thumb|Gameplay of the Candy's Dance Studio minigame]]
-Another remake of the game was made for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, this one more closely resembling the original in terms of graphics and sound due to the system's more powerful hardware. Even so, the game features several differences from the original:
-*An intro cutscene is played when the player starts a new file, which is an abridged version of the story from the manual.
-**Regarding the cutscene, a difference between the cutscene and the manual was who ended up being responsible for subduing Diddy. In the cutscene, it was Krusha. In the manual, it was Klump.
-*A "Time Attack" mode has been added, called [[DK Attack]], where Donkey and Diddy Kong must collect objects and complete the level in a certain amount of time.
-*Rock Krocs can now be defeated by Donkey Kong's [[Hand Slap]] when they are stopped by [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s.
-*Some enemies come in different colors (normal Gnawties are blue, normal Kritters are purple, etc.) The original colors of some of said enemies are briefly featured in the credits.
-*The Blast Barrels that send the Kongs to [[bonus room]]s are replaced by the [[Bonus Barrel]]s used in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3''.
-**Bonus rooms now have title cards ("Find the Exit", "Stop the Barrel", etc); this is another carryover from the sequels.
-**Also, as in the sequels, bonus rooms can now be reentered.
-*The Blast Barrels that send the Kongs near the end of the level are replaced by [[Warp Barrel]]s.
-**The Warp Barrel in [[Millstone Mayhem]] has a different location, while the Warp Barrels in [[Vulture Culture]], [[Tree Top Town]], and [[Slipslide Ride]] were removed. In contrast, more Warp Barrels where added in the early levels, so all the levels in Kongo Jungle and Monkey Mines have one. This is a carryover from the sequels, which only have Warp Barrels in all the levels from their first two worlds.
-**When the heroes enter a Warp Barrel, they are sent into a short area that contains a group of bananas that spell out the word "WARP". In the original version of the game, as well as in the Game Boy Color version, the original barrel simply sends them to the end of the level and not into this short area.
-*From Vine Valley onwards, there are some changes from the original:
-**The bosses are fought a little differently:
-***Queen B. now has several Zingers surrounding her when she gets hit and turns red, which all must be taken out with barrels before she can be damaged again.  The Zingers' placement changes after each hit.
-***Really Gnawty, rather than making high leaps after being hit, leaps over to the side of the stage, and causes stalactites to fall from the ceiling, before leaping around again.
-***After defeating the enemies that Dumb Drum drops, as it attempts to crush the player, the player must throw TNT Drums at it to damage it.
-***The player battles both Master Necky Snr. and Master Necky simultaneously. Rather than tossing an increasing number of nuts, Master Necky Snr. and Master Necky each toss a single nut at the same time, before either can be hit.  After one is defeated, the other will toss four nuts before being vulnerable.
-**Some of the levels in the third through fifth worlds are reordered:
-***Temple Tempest is the sixth level in Vine Valley, rather than the fourth. This makes Orang-utan Gang and Clam City the fourth and fifth levels, respectively.
-***In Gorilla Glacier, Ice Age Alley and Croctopus Chase swapped placements, and so too have Rope Bridge Rumble and Torchlight Trouble.
-***In Kremkroc Industries Inc., Poison Pond and Elevator Antics are swapped. Blackout Basement and Mine Cart Madness are also swapped.
-*Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty swapped colors, but in accordance to the normal Gnawties' color change, Really Gnawty is now blue instead of grayish-green.
-*Some unused elements from the original that were still kept in its data were used in this remake. Examples include Necky's falling feathers when defeated, Cranky Kong's walking sprites and most of his unused dialogues.
-*After each boss, Cranky Kong comes out and compliments the Kongs on beating the boss while criticizing the bosses.
-*The game can be saved at any time or place, including halfway points in levels. With this, Candy's save areas are replaced with [[Candy's Dance Studio|a dance studio]], with different theme music. Here, a dancing minigame can be played.
-*After meeting Funky (who also has different music) once, he can be summoned anytime on the world map.
-*From [[Monkey Mines]] onward, the maps have been redesigned. The world maps are also zoomed in more.
-**On the world map,  rather than in straight lines, the Kongs follow curved pathways between each level, similar to the sequels. The flashing ovals that mark the path are replaced with banana peels.
-*Some of the level backgrounds are edited:
-**At the end of [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]], the time of day does not change to night, unlike in the original.
-***Likewise, [[Ropey Rampage]] remains overcast and stormy throughout. These changes were likely made to make the levels easier to see on the original, unlit Game Boy Advance screen.
-**The walls behind [[Stop & Go Station|the]] [[Misty Mine|mine]] [[Loopy Lights|levels']] ground areas are hollowed out slightly, as the background can be seen through them.
-***Loopy Lights's background is changed to that of [[Mine Cart Carnage]] and Misty Mine.
-**[[Slipslide Ride]]'s farthest background is now gem-filled, rather than plain purple.
-*Various foreground objects were added to some level environments that lacked them (ex: temple levels with trees in front, beams in mine levels).
-*To get [[Completion#Donkey Kong Country|101% Completion]], the player now also has to collect all of the K-O-N-G Letters and fill up the scrapbook.
-**The game exclusively features the "Hero Mode", unlocked for getting at least 90% completion on a save file. In this mode, the player controls a yellow-clothed Diddy, who must complete every level without the help of Continue Barrels or DK. However, the player can get the 101% the same way as in the original.
-*When the player saves the game, it also saves the number of lives and bananas the Kongs have, unlike in the original, which resets the count to five extra lives and no bananas every time that the game is reset.
-*The game has more sound effects and character voices, particularly from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', and enemies have different sound effects when beaten.
-**Donkey, Diddy, and King K. Rool now reuse their voice clips from ''Donkey Kong 64''.
-*K-O-N-G Letters spin around as in the sequels, instead of always facing the screen; they also no longer sparkle or shimmer. This makes their animations more consistent in the series.
-*A scrapbook, similar to the one in the Game Boy Color version, was added; the Kongs have to collect [[photograph]]s throughout the game in order to add pictures to it.
-*The Two Player Contest option (while starting a new file) was removed. This option was removed in the remakes of its two sequels as well.
-*[[Very Gnawty]] appears in [[DK's Tree House]] after defeating [[Really Gnawty]]. When it realizes that the Kongs have arrived, Very Gnawty hops past them and out of the front door. This can be performed only once per file, however.
-*Queen B is now dizzy upon defeat in addition to moving constantly. In the original, she just occasionally moved.
-*The cast of characters take place on [[Gangplank Galleon]] instead of DK's Tree House.
-**Only the enemies, bosses, and animal buddies are shown with their names during the cast scene; the Kongs are not listed.
-**After the cast of characters finishes, the Kongs are all shown on the Gangplank Galleon contemplating their adventure, when King K. Rool forces them off with the threat of using the ship's onboard cannons to blow up Donkey Kong Island. As the Kongs swim back to shore, K. Rool promises to return as his ship sails away. Cranky then criticizes the ending as a cheap attempt at [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|setting up for a sequel]].
 ==Glitches==
 {{main|List of Donkey Kong Country glitches}}
-===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.

The game was placed 39th in the 100th issue of ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997 and it was rated the 90th best game on a Nintendo system in their top 200 games list in 2006.

 Following Rare's acquisition by Microsoft, ''Donkey Kong Country'' experienced a period of backlash. ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' placed the game in their top 10 overrated games list (despite the publication previously awarding it the 1994 Game of the Year award), and, in their review of the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] version, stated that the game did not hold up. Similarly, GameSpy placed it ninth on their list of the top 25 most overrated games of all time.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070113045844/http://archive.gamespy.com/articles/september03/25overrated/index18.shtml</ref> Regardless, the Game Boy Advance and [[Virtual Console]] re-releases were still positively received.
