Ep. 027: Donkey Kong Country
Alex and Luke Talk Donkey Kong Country.
Donkey Kong Country is a groundbreaking platformer developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. In this iconic title, players take on the roles of Donkey Kong and his sidekick Diddy Kong, embarking on a quest to recover their stolen banana hoard from the villainous King K. Rool and his army of Kremlings.
Originally released on November 21, 1994, the game was a pivotal moment in gaming history, showcasing revolutionary graphics for its time, thanks to its use of pre-rendered 3D sprites. The game's technical achievements and addictive gameplay garnered universal acclaim, earning it a lasting legacy in the platforming genre.
According to howlongtobeat.com, the main storyline of Donkey Kong Country can be completed in about 5 hours. However, for those aiming to achieve 100% game completion by finding all bonus rooms and collectibles, you're looking at a much larger commitment.
Alex revisited Donkey Kong Country on his Switch using NSO, as did Luke. Both hosts succeeded in toppling King K. Rool, but the question remains: Who truly mastered the dense jungles and treacherous mine cart rides of Donkey Kong Island?
