Synopsis
The smell still lingers in the air, the delicious scent calling to you, teasing you. Your mouth waters but your heart drops. Your banana stash, the one you have conquered countless jungle foes and jumped deadly chasms in a mine cart to assemble, is missing. Controlled by a group of mischievous Tikis, the jungle creatures have betrayed you and raided your Banana Hoard. Now you'll have to jump, slap, run and fight to get back your bananas — but this time you'll have some major help. Equipped with his trusty backpack full of Peanut PopGuns and a Barrel Jet, Diddy Kong is ready to take on the Tikis with Donkey Kong, and this time, he's not leaving your side.For the first time ever in the Donkey Kong franchise, you and a friend will be able to play together at the same time in Donkey Kong Country Returns. You'll have even more abilities and special moves when you get a friend to navigate Donkey Kong's trusty sidekick, Diddy Kong. Navigate through lush jungles, tropical beaches and abandoned mines with the Wii Nunchuk controller's control stick, and express Donkey's outrage and brute force by having him slap the ground when you shake the Wii Remote. With mine carts, barrel cannons and side-scrolling action, this Donkey Kong adventure has all the features you loved in the original version paired with new challenges and enhanced graphics, including levels created with fully rendered 3D environments.
