The game stars [[Donkey Kong]] - a character who had been out of the spotlight since his last starring role in [[Donkey Kong 3]]. In this game, Donkey Kong is a hero, as opposed to the antagonist as he was viewed in [[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]. This time, his enemy isn't [[Mario]], but [[King K. Rool]] and his [[Kremling Krew]], who have stolen his precious [[Banana Hoard]] from his home, [[Donkey Kong Island]]. With the help of his friend, [[Diddy Kong]], Donkey must chase K. Rool to his ship, the [[Gangplank Galleon]], and get back his [[bananas]]!

With ''Donkey Kong Country'', [[Rare, Ltd.|Rare]] introduced a whole new [[Donkey Kong Universe]] to [[Nintendo]] (who now own the rights to it) - DK was no longer Mario's rival, but he was a hero in his own world!
== Gameplay ==


The game also pays tribute to the arcade games in some areas: the concept of DK using [[barrel]]s as weapons, [[Oil Drum]]s which burn and produce [[enemies]], elevator platforms (seen in the level '[[Elevator Antics]]'), and the new character, [[Cranky Kong]], DK's father, is said to be the original DK from the arcade games, while the DK in this game is his son, most likely [[Donkey Kong Jr.]].
The game introduce the "tag-team" system. Diddy and Donkey Kong follow each other and each have their own unique abilities. Diddy is faster and more agile than Donkey, however, he's not as strong as Donkey and have difficulty defeating stronger enemy such as [[Krusha]]. Donkey Kong is stronger and slower, as well as having his own unique move called [[Handslap]]. If one of the Kong happened to be hit, he would run away and couldn't be used. A Kong can be "ressurected" by finding a [[DK Barrel]] and smashing it. Losing both Kong or falling in a bottomles pit will cause an [[Extra Life]] to be lost.  
 
The game has two direct sequels; ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', as well as a pseudo-sequel for Nintendo's [[Game Boy]], ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.
 
Two remakes of the game have been released. The first one came out for [[Game Boy Color]] in 2000, and sported new features such as mini-games, [[Game Boy Printer]] compatibility, and an additional level, [[Necky's Nutmare]]. However, this version has been watered down graphically to run on the Game Boy Color. In 2003, a [[Game Boy Advance]] remake was released, this one truer to the original version, but with extra features, such as a Diddy-only mode and new mini-games.
