==Story==
==Story==
The game's manual features an abridged version of the story from the original game's manual. During a stormy night, "hero-in-training" [[Diddy Kong]] is overpowered by the [[Kremling]]s, who proceed to trap him in a [[DK Barrel|barrel]], toss him into the jungle, and steal [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[banana hoard]]. In the morning, Donkey Kong is woken up by a smug [[Cranky Kong]], and vows to find Diddy, beat the Kremlings, and reclaim his bananas.

Aside from the supporting Kongs, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are also assisted by [[Animal Friends]] during the game.

|Kritters are the grunt soldiers of the Kremling Krew. They are one of the weakest enemies along with Gnawty. The color of a Kritter determines its movement behavior: the standard, gray (green in [[Boss Dumb Drum]]) ones walk forward, while teal ones jump while moving forward. The brown ones either jump vertically without moving forward, or hop forward a few times before doing a long jump. Another type appears red in [[Bouncy Bonanza]] and green in [[Rope Bridge Rumble]] and [[Loopy Lights]], jumping left and right.

|Animal tokens are small tokens that depict one of the Animal Friends (excluding [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]]). If three animal tokens depicting the same Animal Friend are collected, the game redirects the player to a bonus area where they control the corresponding Animal Friend. In the area, the Animal Friend must collect as many [[Mini Animal Token]]s depicting them within a time limit in exchange for extra lives.

''Donkey Kong Country'' was remade for the [[Game Boy Color]] in 2000. It was released in Japan under the title ''Donkey Kong 2001'' (ドンキーコング2001) and, as the name implies, it was released there in 2001. There are several differences, some of which are because of the Game Boy Color's limited hardware capabilities. Differences include:
*The GBC version prompts the player to select a language before going to the title screen; in the SNES version the language select menu is found in the file select. Also unlike the SNES version, all of the text will be in the selected language instead of having menus still in English.

The Game Boy Color remake was praised for taking a graphically-impressive title and putting it to the platform in a complete and technically competent form, in contrast to other unsuccessful attempts at directly porting or remaking home console games for handhelds.

{{more images|Mode selection and early victory animation}}
On September 9, 2020, a Game Boy Color prototype for ''Donkey Kong Country'' leaked to the internet.<ref>[[tcrf:Proto:Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|TCRF]]</ref> The file is timestamped July 17, 2000, four months before the retail release of the Game Boy Color version. The prototype has several differences from the retail version.
===Differences===
*Only the Adventure and Option modes are accessible, suggesting that the Link-Up and Bonus modes were not yet or in the process of being implemented.
*Like the original Super Nintendo version, accessing every [[bonus room]] in a level adds an exclamation mark after the level's name. In the retail Game Boy Color version, the level name is highlighted red instead.
*Diddy's victory animation involves him throwing his cap up once rather than repeatedly.
*In the prototype build, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can roll through crawlspaces. This was fixed in the retail version.
*[[Candy's Challenge]] is inaccessible.
*In [[Very Gnawty's Lair]], [[Very Gnawty]]'s starting position is closer to the Kongs than in the retail version.
*The moment that Very Gnawty is defeated, the [[Giant Banana]] and Kongs' victory animation is shown. In the retail version, this is only shown once Very Gnawty pants repeatedly and faints. After this, the game resets.
**Even after resetting the game and reopening the game, [[Monkey Mines]] is inaccessible, but like the retail version, once [[Kongo Jungle]] is completed, [[Gangplank Galleon]] is shown from a distant view on the world map, and Kongo Jungle is marked by a Kong head instead of a [[Kremling]] head.

The message that is shown when booting the game in Game Boy mode is longer in the prototype than in the final version.

The prototype version has a Title option in the Options menu. Selecting it changes the option to Title 2, 3, 4, and lastly 5 before switching back to Title 1.

The sprite for a [[DK Sticker Pad]] is much smaller in the prototype. When either [[Kong]] collects a DK Sticker Pad, it is not added to the total, but instead floats up and offscreen.

In a Stop the Barrel! minigame, after the prize stops alternating between the barrels, the red question mark sprites do not appear on-screen.
