Donkey Kong Country is the very first Donkey Kong game in the series, outside of the original arcade game where Mario tries to rescue Princess Peach while having barrels thrown at him. Definitely a classic in all senses of early 90’s video games, Donkey Kong Country it is the fastest selling video game of all time, and the second best selling SNES game. The game is a platform side-scroller in which players must beat the 40 different levels and bosses in order to get Donkey Kong’s bananas back from King K. Rool. Donkey Kong Country has also spawned many different sequels, and sprung Donkey Kong into cultural legacy and elevated him to an important spot in Nintendo canon. It’s also one of the classic games that most millenials remember playing growing up and throwing their controllers in frustration.
