I loved this game it had Donkey Kong always beating on his chest and doing loud noises everytime when you make him stop, and Donkey Knog Jr. would scratch his head. In this game when one monkey gets hit in order to get your partner you have to find a barrel inside would be a monkey screeming to be let out so you grab it drow it on the ground break it then your partner comes back. I like it when you choose which person you want to use and I mean while during your playing all you do is tag team. This game has a lot of scary rides like that rollar coster or being shot out of shotting barrels while it's a snow storm. And the giant bee's you have to dodge them or hit thim with a barrel.
great if you don't erase it!!!

for two months i worked on this my nephew wanted to play it one day and he erased the whole thing!!!! oh well i played all the way through except i didn't beat king k. rool yet i almost did and i didn't know he popped back up a SECOND time! i thought it was over when he popped up and he was too hard the second time maybe i got distracted? don't really know but he hits you a little too hard that time. but all the levels were excellent they put alot of work into it too and it's my second favorite next to turtles in time.

This game is definitely hands down one of the greatest video games to ever be released.
Donkey Kong Country was a game that revealed the positive side of the barrel-throwing Donkey Kong. It also introduced Donkey Kong's sidekick Diddy Kong. And with the graphic production from Rareware, the stunning graphics blew any other SNES games' graphics away!
This game is a definite challenge for the player. The game structure is defined by challenge levels and the boss battle at the end of each "world", which sounds pretty formulatic, but you won't even care once you start playing the game.
I have also never played a video game with such an atmospheric and amazing musical score as well. It really brings out the atmosphere in this game. Whether you're in the jungle, deep in the caverns, or swimming with the fishes, there's always a suiting soundtrack to each level.
I don't want to tell any more than what I have, as I might spoil the plot if I do, but if you're looking for a fun, spectacular, mind-blowing (at least for a game released in 1994) and classic game, Donkey Kong Country awaits. And so does the stolen banana horde.

One of the reasons I bought super Nintendo 2 years ago was for Donkey Kong, When came out I've remembered been stuck at the "mine cart" level for couple of days, but later on I've beaten the game without losing a life. This is the best Donkey Kong they ever made, second and third was okay but the main character which is DK was not playable on them. But anyway, I still play all of then among 2 dozen of others Super Nintendo games.
Classic

Great graphics for SNES.I miss the side-scrolling games.Maybe I'm a purist,I just can't get into most 3D games.Even as a kid when N64 came out.I hated it.This is a must-have along with Mortal Kombat 2,Super Mario World,and Mega Man X.
One of the Top 5 Games of all time!

Play this and remember it was made in 1994 look at the graphics! Donkey Kong Country shocked the world in 1994 with its revoulutionary garphics, but also shocked it with its gameplay sound...just about everything! Even today the graphics are still better than some of new Playstation games. If you like gorillas, or just like video games youll love playing as Donkey and Diddy. Your not a true video game fan if you donrt like Donkey Kong Country. Also play the 2 sequels which are both excellent. Get it immediatley if you dont have it!
Just plain awesome.

Saturday nights I listen to MxPx on my stereo and play this game and enjoy the nostalgia. just get it, okay?

Donkey Kong Country was probably one of the best super nintendo games of it's era. It was lots of fun and had decent graphics considering it came out around '95 when 2d graphics were good.
