This game was pretty popular when it was first released, but I don’t hear anyone talking about it anymore. It was the first Donkey Kong game neither produced nor directed by creator Shigeru Miyamoto, though he contributed design ideas.A Donkey Kong game as an Obscure Gem? Well, actually, yeah. Before I lose everyone who thinks this game is just a port of the original Donkey Kong arcade game, I want to shout from the top of the Empire State Building to you that it most certainly is not! This game has a ton of unique levels, but the new ones come AFTER you play the already familiar ones, which maybe be what confused people and made this game fall into obscurity. Donkey Kong Country was inspired by the Super Mario series and was one of the first home console games to feature pre-rendered graphics, achieved through a compression technique that allowed Rare to convert 3D models into SNES sprites without losing detail. Tasked with reviving the dormant Donkey Kong franchise, Rare assembled 12 developers to work on Donkey Kong Country over 18 months. Nintendo sought a game to compete with Sega's Aladdin (1993) and purchased a large minority stake in the company. After developing numerous Nintendo Entertainment System games in the 1980s, Rare, a British studio founded by Tim and Chris Stamper, purchased Silicon Graphics workstations to render 3D models.
In the multiplayer modes, two players can work together cooperatively or race each other. In 40 side-scrolling levels, the player collects items, defeats enemies and bosses, and finds secrets. It is a reboot of Nintendo's Donkey Kong franchise and follows the gorilla Donkey Kong and his nephew Diddy Kong as they set out to recover their stolen banana hoard from King K. Donkey Kong Country is a 1994 platform game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
