Template:Infobox Donkey Kong Country Returns is a side-scrolling 2.5D platform game developed by Retro Studios for the Wii. It was released on November 21 in North America, December 2 in Australia, December 3 in Europe, and December 9, 2010 in Japan. It includes Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, who travel across the island to retrieve the Banana Hoard. It is the fourth game from the Super Nintendo game series, Donkey Kong Country.
Story
One peaceful day, the volcano of Donkey Kong Island erupts and reawakens the Tiki Tak Tribe from their slumber. For mysterious purposes, the Tikis hypnotize the local wildlife ranging from elephants, giraffes, zebras, and squirrels by using their music to bring them every banana in sight. Under their control, Donkey Kong is robbed of his Banana Hoard. Luckily, the Kongs seem immune to the Tikis' mind powers. Donkey Kong stares at the Tiki and kicks him out of his house. Donkey Kong breaks his front door open and immediately sets off for adventure.
Donkey Kong reunites himself with Diddy Kong and the two monkeys head off to the Tiki Island to recover their precious bananas.
Template:Spoiler After traveling through various parts of Donkey Kong Island, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong soon encounter the leader of the Tiki Tak Tribe, Tiki Tong. After going through a tough fight, the Kongs prevail, and they retrieve their banana hoard along the way.
Afterwards, a Golden Temple will appear on the island. If the Kongs get all the Rare Orbs from the 8 temples, they'll have access to this temple, and its secrets.
The treasure found in that temple is a mirror, which unlocks Mirror Mode. In Mirror Mode, players can't use inventory items, nor can players use Diddy Kong. To add to the difficulty, Donkey Kong only gets one heart, which makes this mode even more difficult. Template:Endspoiler

Trivia
- Currently, this is the only game in the Donkey Kong Country series that isn't developed by Rare. It is also currently the only Donkey Kong Country game to not be released with a Donkey Kong Land sequel.[1]
- This is also the only Donkey Kong Country game so far to have no Kremlings appearing at all; this includes King K. Rool.
- It is also the only Donkey Kong Country game so far to not feature any underwater levels, and glacier-themed levels.
- At the game's release, those who pre-ordered Donkey Kong Country Returns at GameStop in the United States or Canada received a special banana-shaped Wii Remote pouch with the game's logo printed on it.[2]
- If Donkey Kong does nothing for a long time while standing, he will look around, and sit to play what appears to be a Nintendo DS Lite. While he is playing, button sounds and a sound effect from the first Donkey Kong arcade game can be heard. Moments later, he throws the DS behind him, which fades away quickly.
References to Other Games
- The main theme of the game is a remixed version of the main theme for DK: King of Swing.
- The level pads look identical to those from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They even use the same colors. Also, the Super Guide exists in that game too.
- Super Kong also operates in the same way as the Cosmic Spirit, from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
