''Donkey Kong Country'' ran for three seasons with forty episodes in total. Like the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-based television series before it, the show generally followed an episodic format. During the run, however, there were some episodes aired out of order from the original airing, such as "[[Bad Hair Day]]" being aired as the third episode in its run in the United States despite airing first in France. Additionally, while the first two seasons were produced by [[Medialab]], the third season was instead produced by Chinese company Hong Gaung and switched to a newer and sleeker style of computer animation, as well as dropping the use of title cards to introduce each episode. Also similar to the earlier ''Super Mario'' cartoons, each episode (excluding "[[Message in a Bottle Show]]") features one or two original songs based on events in the episode, performed by the cast. | ''Donkey Kong Country'' ran for three seasons with forty episodes in total.
