It's actually a bit jarring to not see any Kremlings, or even any remnants of such, gallumphing about. Donkey Kong and his little buddy Diddy now have to scoot around Donkey Kong Island, freeing each area from the grips of a Tiki Tak Tribe member and get rid of this threat once and for all. Maybe there just isn't enough of a mind to control inside those coconut heads. well, almost all of them, except for any member of the Kong family for inexplicable reasons. They have hypnotized the island's animal inhabitants to do their bidding with music. No, this time around, a band of wild Tikis from the Tiki Tak Tribe have overrun Donkey Kong Island (formerly "DK Isle", rebranded for name recognition to improve tourism, I imagine) in order to steal the precious Banana Horde. That, or he just gave up and now runs a frogurt stand in Newark. Rool Party for Nintendo 3DS down the line. Maybe Rare's still holding him hostage or is still planning to finally release King K.

Wily-style finale because no, he's just not here. And don't expect a surprise "Oop! You thought it was someone else but it's actually been me all along" Dr. And the end result?

#DONKEY KONG COUNTRY RETURNS WII BANANA COINS SERIES#
In 2010, Nintendo faithfully revived the series with Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii, bringing back our snappily-tied hero for another run in an actual platforming game. Though he was brought back for a few specials, including the well-received Donkey Kong 64 and the not-so-sparkling DK: King of Swing. Donkey Kong Country was a series that ran for three seasons on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System before being ultimately cancelled due to low ratings and a stronger interest in the next generation of consoles, mainly the Nintendo 64 and the Sony PlayStation.
