You can keep reading to learn more about this barrel-blasting adventure! You can also check out some of the fun friends from the game, like Squawks and Professor Chops.

 

In Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, you can help Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong recover their precious banana hoard from the villainous Tiki Tak Tribe! You can stomp enemies, blast through barrels, and ride rockets and mine carts (and even Rambi the rhino) in 80 levels across nine worlds.

You can also pass a Joy-Con controller to a buddy and take on the Tiki Tak Tribe as DK and Diddy Kong in two-player local play. Diddy’s Peanut Popgun can be used to pelt foes and you can hover using his Barrel Jet. You can slam bad guys into submission with DK’s Ground Pound—or just Barrel Roll right through them. Work together to reclaim those bananas by the bunch!

 

Features:

  • You can stomp enemies, blast through barrels, and more as Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in a visually enhanced HD adventure
  • You can navigate 80 levels across nine worlds, including the extra levels from the Nintendo 3DS version
  • You can play the game as it was first designed for the Wii system, or reduce the difficulty for extra hearts and other goodies
