Trying to get
Donkey Kong Country onto Game Boy must have been something like trying to force a gorilla into a banana suit. Yes, it must have been quite a hairy experience for the folks at Rare; but, somehow, some way, they pulled it off.
The Game Boy version of DKC isn't as colorful as the Super Nintendo version, and the sound quality takes a big hit, but the fun of the original action title remains.
Players will spend hours bouncing and swinging through levels, and looking for bananas and hidden minigames that can be opened up by pounding the ground and throwing TNT into walls. There's also a bit of fast-paced mine-car riding, and players can switch between Donkey and the scrawnier Diddy when they lumber through levels.
One problem with the translation is quirky hit detection. In other words, players might think that they jumped on an enemy's head properly, but end up dying anyway. This is a small price to pay for so much Nintendo goodness in a portable package. --Robb Guido
Pros:
- Near-perfect replica of the original Super Nintendo classic
- Two bonus minigames--new to this version
Cons: - Lesser-quality graphics and sound, compared to Super Nintendo version
