 '''''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''''' is the second installment in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]] released in 1995. It was developed by [[Rare, Ltd.|Rareware]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It is a sequel and direct follow-up of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. The subtitle was originally ''Diddy Kong's Quest'',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' #74, page 108.</ref> but it was later changed to ''Diddy's Kong Quest'', the latter two words being a pun on "conquest." The game stars [[Diddy Kong]], as he and his girlfriend, [[Dixie Kong]], make their way through [[Crocodile Isle]] to save [[Donkey Kong]] from the [[Kremling Krew]]. A sequel to ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' was released in 1996, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''

It features several differences, including the addition of [[photograph]]s and extra [[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]s. It omits the ''Diddy's Kong Quest'' subtitle, thus the game is simply known as '''''Donkey Kong Country 2'''''.
