Comments

DKC ushered in the era of Donkey Kong as the good guy, after the early years of battling with mario on the old game & watch handheld's. The character of Donkey Kong has been refined into a likable cool Ape, coupled with his little friend Diddy Kong, they make a great kick-ass duo. The game looks great and plenty of variety in the levels keep interest throughout the adventure. Secret areas spread out through most levels add to re-playability in the strive to gain the perfect game score.
