Donkey Kong Country Handhelds

DONKEY KONG COUNTRY HANDHELDS


Today, let's cover the handheld remakes of the first three Donkey Kong Country games. These mostly fall in line with the Super Mario Advance games, being more or less faithful recreations with just a few changeups here and there. For instance, Donkey Kong Country now has new intro and ending cutscenes, a few of the bosses have some upgrades, and a few modes like Time Attack and Hero Mode have been added. 

Donkey Kong Country 2 likewise has upgraded cutscenes, a few added minigames and modes, and a whole new boss: a giant fire-breathing Kremling named Kerozene. Donkey Kong Country 3 has a brand new area called Pacifica, complete with a new boss called Kroctopus, and a few new Brothers Bear and Banana Birds.

That's about it! Here's what we've got so far:


Characters:

Mario: handstand, jump, crouch, spin, spin on bar, hammer, spring, key, pick up and throw

Donkey Kong: punch, barrel, stomp, jack, grow giant, throw enemies

Donkey Kong Jr.: hop, throw switches
