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 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 gives him a serious beatdown and knocks the Tiki 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.

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]
  • 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]
  • This is also the only Donkey Kong Country game so far to have no Kremlings appearing at all; this includes King K. Rool.
  • 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.
