With Donkey Kong kidnapped by Kaptain K. Rool, Diddy Kong and his partner Dixie set off to Crocodile Isle in this Game Boy Advance version of Rare's 1995 Super NES sequel. Rare handled the 2004 conversion itself, rebuilding the pre-rendered graphics for the handheld and rearranging David Wise's soundtrack for the GBA's very different sound hardware.
The core game is intact: pirate ships, beehives, roller coasters and haunted forests, with each Kong having a distinct move set. Dixie can twirl her ponytail to float, which makes some jumps easier than with Diddy. Animal buddies like Rambi and Squitter return, and hidden Kremkoins and DK Coins reward exploring every bonus room. The GBA release added extras, such as a time-attack mode and new mini-games. Many players and critics consider the original the strongest of the Super NES trilogy, and the handheld version keeps its demanding level design.
Tips for Donkey Kong Country 2
Use Dixie for wide gaps; her ponytail spin slows her fall and buys time to line up landings.
