20 Fascinating Facts You May Not Know About ‘Donkey Kong Country’

This Friday marks the release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, so what better time to look back on the game that started the series, 1994′s Donkey Kong Country?

I knew all of those. I need a life.

I was wondering how long it would take to get this comment.

I quit listening to this asshole as soon as he said 'Diddy is a dork.' Diddy has saved DK himself 3 times (DKC2, DKL2, and SSBB) and he has been playable more than DK himself in the series. He has a girlfriend (DK is dating a she man) and he has a jetpack. We all know who the real leader of the DK crew is: Diddy Kong! Not to metion he has more friends than DK (Diddy Kong Racing) and is better than DK in every way (DKCR).

How about those facts!?

I'm glad they didn't. I heard he was asking for way too much money to reprise his role as a mascot. Which is ludicrous since everybody knows Rambi is the real star here. Enguarde is just a second stinger at best.

The audacity of this fish! SHAME!!!

It’s The Perfect Time For A New Donkey Kong Country

Screen Rant Writes "It's been almost a decade since players have seen a new Donkey Kong Country game, but with the opening of Super Nintendo World, now is the perfect time to release a new DKC game. The last entry was 2014's Tropical Freeze (a slightly enhanced version was re-released for the Switch in 2018), which received rave reviews and between its Wii U and Switch sales, performed very well. The original Donkey Kong Country also spotlighted environmental themes, which would prove to be just as salient if a new entry were to release in the coming years."

Super Mario Bros first please. Plus we still need a current gen Mario Kart.

Number1TailzFan623d ago

Mario Kart will probably be the same rehashed gameplay minus Mission Mode again.

We need a new Diddy Kong Racing.

I would love to see another Double Dash game.

It’s always the perfect time for DKC

No its a perfect time for another 3D Donkey Kong. I dont want 2D anything.

Snookies12623d ago (Edited 623d ago )

I'm halfway agreeing with you on that, lol... 2D is still a fantastic route for Donkey Kong Country to go with. Yet, I still love Donkey Kong 64 to this day, and play it through every so often. I absolutely want a new 3D Donkey Kong game in a similar style. Loved going back through levels with different characters that had unique gameplay aspects. A sequel to DK64 would be the perfect announcement, in my opinion.

Chocoburger623d ago (Edited 623d ago )

I always think about a possible 3D Donkey Kong game, but nothing like DK64, more of a faster paced linear platforming game. Less focus on collectibles, and more focusing on fast platforming action. That'd be amazing for me.

-Foxtrot623d ago (Edited 623d ago )

We need more 3D stuff, the side scrollers start to all blend together eventually. The last Kirby game was great and refreshing because they moved to 3D.
