Donkey Kong Country

Leading them are dastardly bosses, including Very Gnawty, Necky, Queen B., and Dumb Drum, and they all bar the way with their own special blend of villainy. Donkey Kong is joined by Diddy Kong: these two primates differ significantly. For example, Donkey Kong is generally stronger; he can destroy most enemies with a single jump and can lift barrels straight over his head to throw them farther.

On the other hand, Diddy is faster and not as strong as Donkey; he can run really fast and do cartwheels. Diddy carries barrels in front of him, creating a shield against frontal attacks. The game is split into different worlds, which are split into different levels. Each level contains bonus areas, where one can collect bananas, medallions, and lives.

The game also has two more difficulty options that become available after beating the game. Beating the game once lets the player turn off DK barrels, while beating the game a second time will let the player turn off checkpoint barrels. The Game Boy Advance version had additional bonus games and changes to the sticker book idea.
