About

A tribe of mysterious marauders has put some sort of musical spell on the creatures of Donkey Kong Island, and now they’re stealing every banana in sight! Naturally, this doesn't sit too well with Donkey Kong, whose personal banana hoard has been ransacked.

With his pint-sized pal Diddy Kong on his shoulders, Donkey Kong sets out to get to the bottom of this bewildering banana burglary.

    If you've already played through the Wii version, then the new additions to the 3DS port aren't worth it. But if you're just someone looking for a must-have game for your 3DS, DKCR3D just won't fit the bill. It's fun, sure, but its problems have me waiting for the time when the true Donkey Kong Country returns.

    With solid visuals and sound, some new levels, a new control scheme, and a new mode to help manage the original game’s difficulty, there is not much to go wrong; however, it can be hard to see things on the smaller 3DS screen (as opposed to a TV) and you will hit a few framerate issues now and then too. In the end this 3DS port is a solid game and both fans of the original and those new to the game will enjoy all that this portable version has to offer.
