You had levels where it was dark and all silhouettes. The first few times I tried playing the game, it was a lot of “oh this level is cool!”, but now there was a lot of love with regards to how it was all made. I will say that this time, I actually really enjoyed the level design. You can find Diddy in barrels, like in traditional DK games, but all he does is sit on your back and let you glide through the air with his jet pack. Unfortunately you only get to play as Donkey Kong. This is basically just an easier mode where you get 3 hearts for Donkey and Diddy each, as opposed to two. The game plays like a 2D platformer, but on the 3DS version, there’s a “New Mode” added on. So he beats up the Tiki, notices his stash is gone, then his adventure begins with the help of his old pal Diddy Kong. They control the minds of the animals of DK Island, steal the bananas, then enter Donkey’s house and try to mind control him. This time by weird mind controlling Tikis. So the story, as with almost every Donkey Kong game, is that DK’s horde of bananas was stolen…again. But the third time around, and maybe the 7th time all together, it finally clicked and I fell in love. Throughout the years I had tried many times to finish it, but would only get halfway before I dropped it again. I enjoyed it when I played it, but I didn’t make it too far before I dropped it. We all sat down, and popped it into the Wii, on the big television. I remember when my dad came home with the game. It wasn’t until 2010 that we got a return to roots! In the form of this 2D platformer!

Sure there were the Donkey Kong games in the age of rhythm games, and Jungle Beat, but no one played those.

Who had some adventures throughout the years, but no one truly talked about him ever since Donkey Kong 64. In 2010 the world saw the return of Donkey Kong. It was then ported to the Nintendo 3DS in 2013! Review Donkey Kong Country Returns was developed by Retro Studios for Wii in 2010.
