I have been playing video games all my life. When I first played Donkey Kong Country, I thought I was in video game heaven. It's fun, challenging, and entertaining. Something many video games of today lack. I mean sure there have been real break throughs with games like Grand Theft Auto and Final Fantasy 7, but this game is still one of the most enjoyable I've ever played. Anyone who is a fan of video games should know the importance of this game and anyone who just loves to play fun games should pick this game up. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest is also another very good game, so if you can find pick that one up too!

Donkey Kong Country is a new adventure with DK and new Diddy with
fighting an army of Kremlings and billions of bananas, go in lots of bonus barrels, get cameras, go through invisible warps and get lives! Beat all 6 bosses and defeat K. Rool. Go to Funky's or Candy's(Funky:fish,fly,Candy:dance).
I give Donkey Kong Country a "11"(lucky number)!!
It's just another monkey mayhem!
SNES AT IT'S BEST!

Donkey kong country is one of the coolest games I have ever played...I played this awhile ago...Back when SNES just came out and I happend to buy this game...Well acctually my dad got it for me as a gift...This game was off the hook.
The gameplay was original. Same with characters and eveything.
The lengh of the game was great...Not too long but great...
The controls were easy to use...learn in about, what...4 minutes.
DKC was probably the best DK game ever..
If you like DKC then get the second one..It's got all the same of 1 but with some some new stuff mixed with it...This is a GREAT game!
Get it if you're an SNES fan such as myself...Get it if you can find it...
Later...
proof that you don't need next gen. garbage for a great game

Donkey Kong Country really pushed the limits of what the SNES could do. The graphics were very ahead of their time. I don't normally rate graphics, but this game gets points just because it had 3-d textures and characters in a 2-side scroller, which was a first for games back then. Also, the sound design in this game is great. Each sound is clear, and you can easily distinct the step of one of those fat brown dudes with the green army helmets from the sound of a crocodile's mouth opening and closing. This game is loads of fun, with two characters who you can switch between depending on what the situation calls for. There are tons of secrets to find, and riding around on the animals is an experience a true gamer could never forget. This game serves up great challenge without getting too hard. The levels in this game are brilliantly designed, and make for deeply addictive gameplay. If you like this one, check the second and third one also, as the series builds on its weak points as well as its strong points, making for great, well rounded gameplay in all of the games.

DKC is quite simply one of the greatest games of all-time and, as others have mentioned, it still stands up today. A classic game never dies and just like any other media, classic computer games seem to age extremely well and remain as playable as they ever were when they originally came out. DKC has everything: Fantastic graphics, great music & sound effects and, above all else, totally addictive playability on a par with the Mario games.
It's now over a decade since this game came out on the SNES and all I can still say is that Donkey Kong Country is worth buying a SNES for...even today!

Easy at times, hard at others, this game will keep you playing until you beat it, and then some. This is a side scroller that deserves some love.. a lot of love. These graphics are sharper than any GameBoyAdvance game and this game is simply done magnificantly. This is definitely my most favorite side scrolling adventure game ever.
DKC is perfect!!

donkey kong country was THE best for super nintendo. what i really think they need to do is take all the video games for super nintendo and on the box the title is "the best of the super nintendo".That WOULD have been the greatest thing ever!!!
anyway the game is THE best and i just got to the last level and i thought "king K. rool" actually died but he jumped up right before i could react and he killed me!!! but whenever he actually jumps on you, you can't react in enough time to move over so he pounded ME into the ground but i'll GET him someday!!
stinkin' crocodile!!!
DKC is great!!!

this is my favorite super nintendo game so far ok second best the graphics hit it perfectly they've seemed to fit the game anyway there's tons of stuff to do in all the levels!! you can look for secret areas or get ALL the bananas or just race through them without actually beating it to get to king k. rool!!
BUT you have to get every single thing in the levels to actually win!!!which is really a cool feature ok if you are not a perfectionist then you don't have to worry about it!!! so you can just race through,collect everything,or just take it slow!!
