If you liked the original Super Nintendo version or the revamped Nintendo 64 Donkey Kong games, you will probably like this. Good graphics, good speed, good game play. It also is a surprising change from all the recent titles which seem to be more-of-the-same and rather bland. It allows three players to each have an entry that tracks the percentage complete and the time spent. The saving of game information is nearly transparent, quick and painless. Certainly one to add to your game bag.

Love This Game

This game is really pretty fun. The evil crocidle (he's not what your imagining, he stands up, his belly is gold, and he is a king)k.rool has stolen all of donkey kong's (donkey kong is a famous video game character, he is an ape, but he's kind of cute) bannanas! You'd probably think a pretty cruddy plot, huh? Well, it's not that bad. You even have help from Donkey kong's nephew, diddy kong! Cranky kong, candy kong, and funky kong will also help you.

Now let's talk about the gameplay. You see this is a side-scrolling game which is a view from the side where you can jump, enemies will hurt you and make you lose lives, if you lose them all, its game over which makes you lose check points, etc. (places in levels [you start from the beginning of the level, you must find your way to the end to progress to the next one] where you can continue from if you lose) Diddy kong will fallow you wherever you go however he does not limit your speed. On the level-selection map, left on control pad makes you go back to levels you have already beaten, right makes you continue forward a level, one that may or may have not be beaten. Up and down are the same (you might need them giving left and right no effect depending on where you are). The A button makes you start the level you are on, start opens the menu where you can save, etc. select asks you if you wnat to quit, and the B button lets you cancel these two menus. In a level, up lets you climb up ropes you have jumped on, right makes you move right, left makes you move left, down makes you duck and clib down ropes, and when you are playing as donkey kong down and the B button is a special attack. A button is jump, and the B button is most important. By holding down B, you can go MUCH faster. It is actually essential for some places. If you just press the B button, you swiftly roll into and enemy (you can also jump on them to beat them). Select lets you switch between donkey kong and diddy kong (however whoever is beaten the one behind take his place) and finnaly start lets you pause (you can quit the level if you have beaten it). The graphic are AWSOME even though this game was orginally a 16-bit snes game. You can do all of the levels over again, you can even battle the bosses again, and you cn EVEN battle k.rool (the final boss) again (however don't worry, its still saves once you beat the game). The game is really fun, you can ride on four animals, a rhino, an ostrich, a frog, and a sword fish (only underwater). There are also two mini games, one where you have to time your button presses to dance right, and one where you must fish specific fish using your hook. And finnaly, there's DK attack where you must improve your score as you do timed stages (the ones you have beaten in the real game), bannanas which are like coins, get 100 and you get an extra life, instead add to your score, you can pick up more time in various places, etc. All in all, it is a really great game, if you like DK games, Want a cute sidescroller, or like sidescrolling games, you should get it.

oh yeah this is one of the best things to happen since Mario

I don't have the GBA DKC, but I do have the earlier SNES version. I play over and over and can still find new bonus levels, tricks and secrets (I recently beat it with a 101% complete rating). The gameplay is orignial, and so are the levels. I hope the re-make DKC 2 and 3 as well. I would really like a whole new Donkey Kong Country game (DKC4) to come out as well. Anyway, get this game today! It's a Nintendo classic and probably one of the best they have ever published!

DK IS BACK!!!!!

I was very excited to hear that the 94 classic SNES game which i loved so much was coming to GBA. The worlds are identical to the ones in the original which means you don't have to learn any new worlds if you played the original. The sound aint too great but wat can you expect for a GBA game which only has 1 speaker. Unless you have SP or worm light or something like that it might be a little difficult to see your DK and Diddy(i mean it takes place in a jungle with a lot of dark colors). The gameplay is great, the bosses aren't a pretty easy except for like the last 2, and overall its fairly easy. Despite its few problems I still gotta say its as good or maybe even better than the original. You have to buy this one, you wont regret it.
