 Donkey Kong Country is a video game developed by Rare and Nintendo, featuring the popular arcade character, Donkey Kong. It was released for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom in 1994. The game was released in Japan under the title Super Donkey Kong. It was produced by Tim Stamper. In this game, Donkey Kong and his friend, Diddy Kong, have to recover Donkey Kong's stolen hoard of bananas from King K. Rool. Other characters include Candy Kong, Funky Kong, and Cranky Kong (who happens to be the original Donkey Kong and the father or grandfather of the current Donkey Kong). It was also the first time Donkey Kong's home environment, Donkey Kong Island, was established. The game was revolutionary for the fact that it was the first pre-rendered 3-D game for a mainstream home video game console. It was a technique that was originally made famous in Killer Instinct. Many later 3-D video games would also use pre-rendered 3-D together with fully 3-D objects. Two sequels, Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Country 3, were later made. All three games also had counterparts on the Game Boy and Super Game Boy in the form of the Donkey Kong Land series. The Donkey Kong Country name was also used for an Internet game called Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze in 2003. In 1999, a Nintendo 64 game was released called Donkey Kong 64 that was a direct sequel to the DKC franchise. This title featured a playable, hidden version of the original 1981 title. PortsIn 2000, a port of Donkey Kong Country for the Game Boy Color was released. One of the new features included was Game Boy Printer compatibility. In 2003, another port of the game was released for the Game Boy Advance which included remodeled map screens, minigames, a Hero Mode quest where you could only play the game as Diddy Kong, and the DK Attack timed mode.
