This is probably the best Donkey kong game for a portable system on the whole **** planet!!!!!!!! It was made back in 1994 on the Snes then a few years later it hit the gameboy with more stuff in it. Now it's on the Gameboy advance and Gameboy advance sp. The graphics are wonderful and there are three cool games you can play called dk attack with a friend Funky's fishing and Candy's dance studio. It has 7 bosses that you fight along the way. By the way here is a hint. Collect 3 animal tokens and go into the bonus room. For every 100 bonus tokens you get you are awarded with one extra life. Find a hidden animal token in the room and the amount of bonus tokens you have doubles giving you more extra lives! Buy it and you won't be upset!

I am six years old.
The game is hard but exciting. It has lots of different areas. There are more than 10 levels.

Donkey Kong Country?

Not exactly. I was a die-hard fan of Donkey Kong Country when it came out for the SNES, and I had hoped that this game would be a re-release of the same game for new fans to enjoy.
It's not.
This is why, more or less, the grade is so low. I loved that old SNES game to death. I think I may have loved it a little TOO much, however, because I waited several days before actually entering my name to play it. Why? Because although I turned the game on the very first day, the absence of that wonderful image of Cranky with the phonograph made me realize I wasn't back in Kansas, so to speak.
Yes, you may get some kicks out of this game if you're a new gamer. Yes, you may find it amusing if you were a casual fan of the original, but for an orthadox Kong-aholic like me, I just don't reccomend it.

A fun game!

Donkey Kong Country is one of the first games I've ever played. It is definitely one of the better later games that are out. There are secret rooms you can find to get balloons (extra life) and bananas etc. It's just a fun game to play and it's cute how Donkey Kong always finds his buddy Diddy Kong. If you're into games from around 1995 I'd say this is a game you should buy.

THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

Hey. Have you dreamed of having a fun video game that's challenging but fun? Well I have the answer! It's call Donkey Kong Country! It is so much fun. My friends and I are so addicted to it. Now I really don't like video games that much (hey im a girl) but this game is just so much fun. I suggest that you BUY THIS GAME!!!

Don't Play it too much, too fast

I recommand you play this game once in a while, for example when you're on road trips, because if you play it too much it'll get boring very, very quickly. But if you play it once in a while, you'll like it and keep liking it.

GREAT

LOVE IT. It's so fun to play if your bored or if you and your friend want to challenge each other. It even has mini games that you can play with your friends. You can play a fishing game or a dancing game. BOTH ARE FUN EVEN BY YOURSELF. There are a lot of levels but the bosses are easy to beat(just like in every other one). All you have to do is jump on there head. You can save your game at any point your out of a level. There are still the animals you can ride like the rhino, ostrich, frog and others ones. This game is very easy to beat though. It's still fun and it saves all your highscores in the mini-games. Overall 9/10 because of the easy bosses it lost a point

DK's cool

This is a great game. The graphics great but overrated, it's challenging but not TO hard, a few of the levels are frusturating
for instence I've been stuck on tanked up trouble for while but I've got one boss to go before I win. It takes a couple of times to beat a level but that's how I like it for certian types of games. Overall, this game kicks @$$!!!

Improvement strongly needed

I was really glad that Donkey Kong, which helped popularize the Super Nintendo System back in 94' returned in handheld gameboy advance. I just bought the game today and for the past hour or so, I have been playing it. As you know, the games are exactly the same as the first released donkey kong in SNES system and nothing significant has changed. (Love those cute game transition...if you know what I mean) I have played all the past four donkey kongs, (I,II,III in SNES,and N64) but although the gameplay remained the same, this is the worst. I have the original gameboy advance, meaning no fancy reflective LCD screen which becomes a huge factor for the negative aspect of the game. As you can imagine, the setting is the jungle meaning the background is typically composed of dark colors such as green and brown. It is extremely arduous to see the two monkeys and I find myself struggling to beat the levels which I beat without any difficulty in SNES. Unless you have a Gameboy SP, I would strongly recommend that you have some kind of worm-light or other light accessory. Otherwise you would have to squint throughout the game just to see your little monkey. The poor graphics then lead to misgameplay and I've lost 3 lives trying to go through the second level which never happened before. Really it is a good game, but I would recommend passing this one unless you have advance SP. I hope that the DK company learns from this one and release a better one sometimes soon.

Better looking with the SP
