Donkey Kong Country

Donkey Kong Country is a side scrolling platformer by the British developer Rare. It used pre-rendered 3D graphics that gave the game a unique look compared to most other console games of its time. The two playable characters are Donkey Kong and his nephew Diddy Kong. Together the two swing, climb, jump, swim, cartwheel, ride animals, and blast out of barrels on their way to recover their stolen bananas from the evil King K. Rool and his Kremling army. You control one Kong at a time and switch between them at any point. Donkey Kong is the stronger of the two, and Diddy is faster and more agile. Levels include mine cart rides, underwater stages and rope swinging sections, and animal buddies such as Rambi the rhino and Enguarde the swordfish help in some of them. Almost every level has collectibles such as the letters K, O, N and G, along with shortcuts and hidden bonus areas. Two players can take turns or play as a team.
