Big part of my childhood here. Brings back so many good memories, especially with my mom. Hearing the music and level sounds just takes me back to a better time in life. Life was carefree and fun. I'll never forget those days.
A los 8 años jugaba este juego con mi hermano .. hoy tengo 32 y él murió .. pero su recuerdo sigue intacto, sobre todo con esta obra maestra, musical, gráficamente y sus personajes. Sin duda lo mejor donkey Kong❤️
Jugaba con mi hermano también este juego cuando eramos niños ahora tenemos la misma edad, gracias a Dios aún vivos los 2 pero algún día todos nos iremos y conversaremos todos juntos sobre estos juegos y los trucos y la clave de las 50 vidas 😃

Have you guys noticed that water levels in Nintendo games are always good? Like NSMB DS, DKC, Super Mario 64 just to name a few have very calm and cool themes.
but I’m gen z so I didn’t grow up with the snes but back in 2020 I found a interest in retro gaming so I bought a nes classic and also played snes games on Nintendo switch and now I have a collection of retro games
It was in the right time. We are just ahead of time now so it seems like that looking back. Games have been out for years at this point (2023) over 30 years
long time ago I read in an article that in early 1994 Nintendo got some financial troubles, when this game was released it was an entire success and allowed them to continue developing the N64.
@@justinhughes3518 What?!?!?!? Now u r exaggerate Wii have good graphics and NO ONE game sucks in graphics like this maybe like a GameCube but saying the Wii has the same graphics as the SNES is something stupid
I miss competing with my older brother to have the longer turn. He's been dead 18 years now, and playing this game with him is one of the best memories I have of spending time with him as a kid.
Oh, it wasn't my Childhood, but this of my eldest Son, who was born 1985. But I loved this game too, Only, my little Son was really better. :( :) This game, and Zelda, on SNES, wonderful. Greetings from Germany!
We all have that game that brings us back. When I got the SUPER NES Flashback, I found more than one game I realized I never lost my affection for. Just curious Chris. How long did it take you to beat "Donkey Kong Country?" It can get really hard!
Best days of gaming, got this when it came out, around Nov/dec 1994! Was way ahead of its time, gave the snes a massive jump, that music in atmosphere in the swimming level! 🔥Was like playing a game on a 32 bit system!
Rare was indeed an incredible second party software developer for Nintendo. Chris and Tim Stamper were geniuses when they came up with the technology to create this game :D amazingly talented human beings. edit: replaced 'third party' for 'second party' because I was mistaken
Man, I remember playing this in the late 90's and thinking the graphics were the best in the world. For it being made in '94 they really are great graphics. I miss playing this game so much.
I remember playing this game day and night. Sooooo fun. I remember i got stuck with Bee Boss. I couldn't sleep for days, and didn't know how to beat such boss. One day i woke up around 1am, locked my door, and started playing this level with volume down. I did it, i beat that bitch. Then i went to sleep LOL.
A fantastic game that gave me many wonderful moments and memories. I remember like yesterday that Christmas Eve in 1994 when you opened the Christmas present containing this game. From the first second you stepped into this magical world, you were hooked. Donkey Kong Country and Zelda: A Link to the Past are the two game titles that touched me the most and still does 😊
The graphics along with the music was the best part with Donkey kong country. The background view in each level alone is an incredible work of art. The beauty of the deep djungle, the sandy ocean sea floors, the cold shimmering crystal icy caverns. The music is stunning and perfectly balanced. Quiet and moody at times to let the feelings grasp, still paced enough to enhance your adrenaline rushes. The music alone can remind you why this game holds a special place in your heart, Donkey kong is yours and our's unforgettable childhood memories.

I remember getting this game in the sixth grade. That was such a difficult school year for me. I was bullied every day mercilessly, my teacher had a nervous breakdown and left the school before thanksgiving, and she was replaced by an absolute idiot. I would come home from another bad day, and once I finished my homework, put this game on and everything was ok. Such a great game, that was really an escape for me when I needed it.
I relate to you in a lot of ways as this was one of my most played games on SNES and aside from a teacher getting a nervous breakdown and being replaced everything else feels identical. I can't believe I turn 23 in just 9 days, hope you are still doing well to this day!

one of the most mystifying feelings ive had recently was having that music play really low on my phone as i was trying to sleep and the window was slightly open so it kinda sounded like the music was coming from outside
Man I remember 1995 being in the 5th grade, inviting over my friend who lived 3 houses over if hes want to play some Donkey Kong. No smartphones, social media just hanging out with childhood friends that lived in your neighborhood. It was a great time to be a kid
As someone who was born in 2004, that sounds like a time to be alive. I sometimes wish it were to be like as how you described now in current days. Simplistic and very fun. Nowadays, it's all about social media. It's a hassle and very unfortunate.
@@satantcor1546 I done away with my social media accounts 2 years ago, I feel a lot better from doing so. Forget spending £10000 on a PS5 Download a snes emulator and play the games we grew up with.
No remastering, just as it was... In 4:3, same wonderful audio and clay-like graphics. I own a SNES (Super Famicon) so I'm chasing down DKC2 and 3. I can get them for ≈ 35$ USD a piece.
I wish they had saved all the original renders that the game's visuals were made from, would be really cool to play a version of the games that just used all the original renders uncompressed.

This is the best Donkey Kong Country longplay on UA-cam. I really wish all longplayers put as much effort in making thorough, high-quality videos like this.
I only casually played this game as a kid, it wasn't a huge part of my childhood, but for some reason I keep coming back to it as an adult. It means more to me now than it did then.
I thought that, as a Moroccan, I was the only one who feels nostalgic for these beautiful periods that I went through in my childhood, but the American people also share the same feeling with us, frankly I want to cry here, I watch this game especially the music, I don’t know why maybe because life no longer has a taste, greetings To you from Morocco.
Hey, I agree, we live in such a strange world, I felt it way too often, that the world lost a bit of taste, but keep the hope, sometimes you need to find a way to bring back the taste to life, like Ann Frank had said: Think of all the beauty around you, and be happy :-)
I'm only 13 and I got to grow up on original mario and donkey Kong on snes and a ps2 my life then was so much better then today and now I realise those moments are now.. gone and I just wanna go back and live life over and over again playing that same dk game everyday and no worries of school or anything just a great dad I love you dad and always will just promise me one thing tho that you'll never stop believing in yourself and and trying everyday I know it may be hard but just please do...

I've had a craving to revisit this game, so this playthrough was a fantastic way to indulge my nostalgia :) The DKC games were fantastic and a huge part of my childhood, it was great to watch you play through it
The 90s were the golden age of gaming. Everything great about gaming today was laid out and perfected during the 90s. Though a lot of the stupendous 2D games (like this one) tend to get overshadowed by the incredible 3D games such as Super Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time. But despite the fact that 3D games encompass nearly every game today, 2D games still have their place. It’s like the theme of a game that is centered around guns. No matter how much it may be, there is always room for some kind of blade.

This was the game that made the SNES to finally prevail over the Genesis and remain popular well into the PS1/N64 era. Quite possibly one of the greatest SNES games of all-time and easily in my personal top 10. The graphics, gameplay, music, etc. was well-made! I'm glad to say that I own this game on the Original SNES and the SNES Mini (built-in), because it is just that good!
Dude, that game was released in november 1994. Also in november 1994, the SEGA Saturn was released, SEGA's 2nd CD-based console, and after the 32-Bit-addon 32x it was SEGA's first real 32-Bit-console. .... Be honest: SEGA was on the next level already. The N64 didnt see the world before 1996 and couldnt keep up with Saturn and Playstation, it looks terrible ist most cases. When in 1998 SEGA's Dreamcast was released, the N64-games looked absolutely outdated, the Dreamcast had PC-standards at that time. I remember playing the N64 when it was brandnew and I couldnt believe how bad it was, although it was just released. Donkey Kong looked good, yes, but very late. And the SEGA Genesis did wipe the floor with the SNES with its CD-addon already, I just say "Final Fight CD".
The art of this video game is amazing, everything is pixelated art but the lights, the environments seem 3D. In addition to the music that makes a very good combination. I follow it and I will continue playing it, I love it, and now more than because I never got to have 99 lives XD
Brings back so many great memories from my childhood. Imagine beating this game with all of the secrets too without a strategy guide or the internet? That was me in my pre-teens. The music still holds up too.
Ah, it's refreshing to be able to watch a playthrough where we can immerse in the full visual and audio experience of the game. Too many channels make the mistake of thinking we want to see their blank expression and chat spam taking up half the screen as they drone a monotonous commentary on.
Donkey Kong Country fue el primer videojuego con graficos 3D de la historia. fue revolucionario. Este videojuego cambio la historia, marco un antes y un despues en la historia de los videojuegos.
@@Thespeedrap DKC II is one of the most challenging side scrollers of the era; perhaps THE most challenging. To this day I still get stuck on certain levels - a testament to the game's enduring greatness and lasting legacy.
@@HomeStudioBasics I agree I remember my cousin and I we had a hard time playing the lava segment which is suck that's why I stopped playing it and weht with 3 and back to 1 again.
Ah, what a classic. A gaming god, too, finding all the hidden areas, and completing all the levels without dying. By the time you broke the maximum counter, I tallied how many more extra lives you obtained: 84.
@LITTLE: Actually according to the instruction-manual of this videogame the "Donkey Kong" that fought Mario in the "Donkey Kong" videogame-arcade game was "Cranky Kong" in this game; ie. Donkey Kong senior. The "Donkey Kong" that is the main[/titular] character of this videogame is Donkey Kong junior, his biological son. In the videogame "Donkey Kong Country 2" you get to meet Wrinkly Kong, who is his mom and Donkey Kong senior's (ie. "Cranky Kong" 's) wife.
44:54 Always loved that level as a kid. The background that changes from clean sky to whiteout as you progress through the level? That was new to me, in a video game.
I'm 17 and beat super Mario world and donkey Kong yesterday I'm planning on playing DKC 2 and 3 and both games blow my mind even after playing a game like the last of us 2 and rd2
As a child I remember seeing DKC on display at Costco, then Price Club, a few months after its release. The graphics were like nothing I'd ever seen before at the time. Nowadays nothing graphics-wise impresses me quite like that did.
There is a part of me that is enjoying watching how easy this game seems. Then there is the rest of me remembering playing this as a kid and is equal parts impressed & depressed at how easy you make this seem ^_^ You're awesome! Enjoying every playthrough you've posted!
Brings back memories whenever I play this, used to play on the original Super Nintendo console when I was like maybe 8 or 9, now I'm 19 yrs old, I'm playing this on nintendo switch
It’s so amazing to see how all of our lives have been touched so deeply from this game. At the time I was just playing something because I was a kid but the memories that I have are priceless.
I absolutely love this game. It's by far one of my favorites, and I just can't get enough of it! I mean, call me nostalgia-blind, but I swear, they just don't make games like this anymore.
As good as donkey kong country returns was it doesn't exactly have the same feel as the originals. Maybe I'm just nostalgia blind but the weight that you got when you bounced of a enemy in this game has not been replicated.
26:45 that's my favorite level. Because I always wanted to live in a forest. Stay in a hut, like those high ones. I imagine living with friends in one of those huts. Singing songs, swim in the lake, eat plants and bears. That must be a fun life! Getting married, and raising my kids there. Awesome life! :)
My favorite game and video game soundtrack ever. Sometimes I would just come here just to smile for a bit. There's something magical about this game, is inexplicable.
I have a story to tell that's both tragic and a little weird involving my Donkey Kong Country cartridge. I played the hell out of this game when I was a kid on my SNES back in the day and I loved it. one day I was alone, sitting on my parents' bed just looking at the cartridge admiring the label art or whatever. Idr exactly what happened next but somehow it fell down the part of the bed where you put the pillows. I looked all over the bed to find the game but it was gone. Like just vanished into thin air lol. I tried to find it one last time before we moved out of that house but it never popped up again. Still love this game though.
Ahh my childhood. I remember playing this game as a kid with my mom and my brother back in the day. I think this was one of our favorite games to play. Good times that sadly don’t happen anymore. Awesome video by the way. You played and beat this game like a pro in my opinion.
Childhood alllll over again lol, I actually just finished a playthrough on this bad boy and trust me it was FREAKIN tough! Im going to play the sequal on my channel soon if you're interested in coming over mate
Crazy! My cousin had this game and I would spend the night, we would stay up late playing this and Gauntlet Legends...multiplayer. A little sad watching this though, he passed away 2018. RIP Chris. ❤️ #90sBaby

Donkey Kong Country will always have a place in my heart. It was the first game I owned. It came with my SNES that i got for Xmas. 3 months later, for my birthday I got Zelda: Link to the Past. Which I now have multiple walls dedicated to! These 2 games make me love RPG and Platforming Games.
When this game came out, those pre-rendered graphics were really impressive. Even now, I think they still look beautiful.
Mathieu Pronovost Agreed! I was 11 years old in 1995 when this came out. Even today, this game looks gorgeous. It was way ahead of its time!
And what's MORE impressive, it was on a 16 bit console! THIS is the game that made SEGA felt stupid for chasing 32 bit at at the time.
The fact that even ps1 games kept using the graphics. Specifically final fantasy 7-9.
I totally agree. For 1994 (year I was born, by the way), it was revolutionary.
It gives the impression of it being rendered with 3d models in real time, but it's not. It's just sprites that are rendered from 3d models. And I don't even think the model files are stored on the cartridge, just the final sprites. The models were originally rendered by Nintendo or Rare and the sprites written into the game's ROM when it was compiled.
Somehow i still get this desolated feeling when listening to the music in the water levels after all the years.
Yeah, it kinda feels a wee bit depressing.
one of the most mystifying feelings ive had recently was having that music play really low on my phone as i was trying to sleep and the window was slightly open so it kinda sounded like the music was coming from outside
You should hear the Mangrove Cove Underwater version.
Listen to the save room of resident evil one ! Thats where my sweet spot is (nearly the same tune). Fingernail pulling stuff.. or the soulblade intro.
One of my favorite games from my childhood. Brings back good memories.
Man I remember 1995 being in the 5th grade, inviting over my friend who lived 3 houses over if hes want to play some Donkey Kong. No smartphones, social media just hanging out with childhood friends that lived in your neighborhood. It was a great time to be a kid
As someone who was born in 2004, that sounds like a time to be alive. I sometimes wish it were to be like as how you described now in current days. Simplistic and very fun. Nowadays, it's all about social media. It's a hassle and very unfortunate.

@@satantcor1546 I done away with my social media accounts 2 years ago, I feel a lot better from doing so.
Forget spending £10000 on a PS5 Download a snes emulator and play the games we grew up with.
Yes how true...i remember that we play football in the streets....i am living in greece!nice era for everybody in west world in general!
@@satantcor1546 you just need to hang out with the right people who aren't addicted to that shit
Back when it was a simpler time glad I have memories of this
Una auténtica obra maestra de los videojuegos. La banda sonora es magistral. Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en mi vida, de largo.
This game was years ahead of its time an absolute classic would be great to see it remastered loved it
No remastering, just as it was... In 4:3, same wonderful audio and clay-like graphics. I own a SNES (Super Famicon) so I'm chasing down DKC2 and 3. I can get them for ≈ 35$ USD a piece.
Have you not seen donkey Kong country returns or tropical freeze?
I wish they had saved all the original renders that the game's visuals were made from, would be really cool to play a version of the games that just used all the original renders uncompressed.
@Crocodiles United Owner Roblox crocodiles is angry donkey kong country two is hard now ok guys meets happy this is game single now finally donkey kong got banana!
This is the best Donkey Kong Country longplay on UA-cam. I really wish all longplayers put as much effort in making thorough, high-quality videos like this.
Thanks a lot for the kind words! :D I'm glad you liked it.
I agree Crymoar.
Oh yes the 90s was a great decade to grow up in
Good times, Good memories !! A masterpiece of a game !!
I only casually played this game as a kid, it wasn't a huge part of my childhood, but for some reason I keep coming back to it as an adult. It means more to me now than it did then.
I thought that, as a Moroccan, I was the only one who feels nostalgic for these beautiful periods that I went through in my childhood, but the American people also share the same feeling with us, frankly I want to cry here, I watch this game especially the music, I don’t know why maybe because life no longer has a taste, greetings To you from Morocco.
Hey, I agree, we live in such a strange world, I felt it way too often, that the world lost a bit of taste, but keep the hope, sometimes you need to find a way to bring back the taste to life, like Ann Frank had said: Think of all the beauty around you, and be happy :-)
I'm only 13 and I got to grow up on original mario and donkey Kong on snes and a ps2 my life then was so much better then today and now I realise those moments are now.. gone and I just wanna go back and live life over and over again playing that same dk game everyday and no worries of school or anything just a great dad I love you dad and always will just promise me one thing tho that you'll never stop believing in yourself and and trying everyday I know it may be hard but just please do... Please

@Mehdi Boumour the best level for me is coral capers (swimming), especially the music that reminds me the childhood, big hello to you
El mejor momento de mi vida la pasaba jugando este juego
I love this game so much, so many memories! Although 2 is my favorite this one will always have a place in my heart.
Returns is my fave, then 2, then a tie between this and 3 (tropical freeze dosen’t count). however, i love them all a lot (except tropical freeze).
I've had a craving to revisit this game, so this playthrough was a fantastic way to indulge my nostalgia :) The DKC games were fantastic and a huge part of my childhood, it was great to watch you play through it
The 90s were the golden age of gaming. Everything great about gaming today was laid out and perfected during the 90s. Though a lot of the stupendous 2D games (like this one) tend to get overshadowed by the incredible 3D games such as Super Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time. But despite the fact that 3D games encompass nearly every game today, 2D games still have their place. It’s like the theme of a game that is centered around guns. No matter how much it may be, there is always room for some kind of blade.
Que nostalgia recordar la musica, los graficos, los mapas, los sonidos, todo de este juego.
my head is imploding from nostalgia
Me 2. The game before all games.. Even before baldurs gate.
My head is also full kg nostalgia
!!!😀😀
I know right
*of, not kg
Hdihuhujijhibbnjhbjbh
No joke, I sometimes just play the underwater theme music from this game when I want to mellow out.
damn the originality of the graphics, incredible..
Its really impressive
The graphics along with the music was the best part with Donkey kong country. The background view in each level alone is an incredible work of art. The beauty of the deep djungle, the sandy ocean sea floors, the cold shimmering crystal icy caverns. The music is stunning and perfectly balanced. Quiet and moody at times to let the feelings grasp, still paced enough to enhance your adrenaline rushes. The music alone can remind you why this game holds a special place in your heart, Donkey kong is yours and our's unforgettable childhood memories.
@@SunriseFestival indeedd
@@SunriseFestival Yes, i agree
This was the game that made the SNES to finally prevail over the Genesis and remain popular well into the PS1/N64 era. Quite possibly one of the greatest SNES games of all-time and easily in my personal top 10. The graphics, gameplay, music, etc. was well-made! I'm glad to say that I own this game on the Original SNES and the SNES Mini (built-in), because it is just that good!
Dude, that game was released in november 1994. Also in november 1994, the SEGA Saturn was released, SEGA's 2nd CD-based console, and after the 32-Bit-addon 32x it was SEGA's first real 32-Bit-console. .... Be honest: SEGA was on the next level already. The N64 didnt see the world before 1996 and couldnt keep up with Saturn and Playstation, it looks terrible ist most cases. When in 1998 SEGA's Dreamcast was released, the N64-games looked absolutely outdated, the Dreamcast had PC-standards at that time. I remember playing the N64 when it was brandnew and I couldnt believe how bad it was, although it was just released. Donkey Kong looked good, yes, but very late. And the SEGA Genesis did wipe the floor with the SNES with its CD-addon already, I just say "Final Fight CD".
@@MrZillas and yet nintendo still out sold sega with ever single one of those consoles you mentioned.
The art of this video game is amazing, everything is pixelated art but the lights, the environments seem 3D. In addition to the music that makes a very good combination. I follow it and I will continue playing it, I love it, and now more than because I never got to have 99 lives XD
The music in the waterlevels♥️👌
The beginning part almost sounds like the dungeon theme from Legend of Zelda on NES
are you from?
Second?

@@HexMan-HM03 so I heard it right!!!!
Brings back so many great memories from my childhood. Imagine beating this game with all of the secrets too without a strategy guide or the internet? That was me in my pre-teens. The music still holds up too.
Seeing this thumbnail of the map… literally took me back to being a kid again. Thank you for sharing!
Ah, it's refreshing to be able to watch a playthrough where we can immerse in the full visual and audio experience of the game. Too many channels make the mistake of thinking we want to see their blank expression and chat spam taking up half the screen as they drone a monotonous commentary on.
I hate commentary.
Lloré al recordar mí juego preferido de infancia ❤️😭
Y yo este domingo lo volveré a tener después de tantos añso🥺

Donkey Kong Country fue el primer videojuego con graficos 3D de la historia. fue revolucionario. Este videojuego cambio la historia, marco un antes y un despues en la historia de los videojuegos.
I work from home in audio and music, and it's been a real pleasure to watch this on lunch breaks! Now for part II. :)
I work in media production, tv and video. I’m finishing up college. Any advice for finding a job where I can work from home?
Part 2 was hard for me even most people say it's their favorite of theirs.
@@Thespeedrap DKC II is one of the most challenging side scrollers of the era; perhaps THE most challenging. To this day I still get stuck on certain levels - a testament to the game's enduring greatness and lasting legacy.
@@HomeStudioBasics I agree I remember my cousin and I we had a hard time playing the lava segment which is suck that's why I stopped playing it and weht with 3 and back to 1 again.
Thank you for replaying my child hood. Nothing like the jump combos, mid air adjustments and “not even remotely based in reality” physics.
Love it.
Ah, what a classic. A gaming god, too, finding all the hidden areas, and completing all the levels without dying. By the time you broke the maximum counter, I tallied how many more extra lives you obtained: 84.
Good walkthrough! My wife and I just bought a Super Nintendo recently and bought DK. Memories! Awesome memories!🤗
The game that reformed the once-nemesis of Mario, Donkey Kong. I still own the original cartridge, and it sure is a revolutionary and fun game.
@LITTLE:
Actually according to the instruction-manual of this videogame the "Donkey Kong" that fought Mario in the "Donkey Kong" videogame-arcade game was "Cranky Kong" in this game; ie. Donkey Kong senior. The "Donkey Kong" that is the main[/titular] character of this videogame is Donkey Kong junior, his biological son.
In the videogame "Donkey Kong Country 2" you get to meet Wrinkly Kong, who is his mom and Donkey Kong senior's (ie. "Cranky Kong" 's) wife.
So much nostalgia with this game, I remember playing this at an older friend's house as a little kid and watching Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
Allllll righty then
Those backgrounds are simply gorgeous.
please never delete this, so many good memories.
este Videojuego fue antes y un despues en la historia de los videojuegos. Es el videojuego que revoluciono el 3D.
This game was revolutionary back then. By far the most technically astonishing 16bit game ever to be released.
The music and sound effects take me back
Even almost 30 years later I will always love you DKC ❤️
44:54
Always loved that level as a kid. The background that changes from clean sky to whiteout as you progress through the level? That was new to me, in a video game.
You are so right. This game blew my mind as a kid. One of the best gifts my dad ever got me.
I'm 17 and beat super Mario world and donkey Kong yesterday I'm planning on playing DKC 2 and 3 and both games blow my mind even after playing a game like the last of us 2 and rd2
I really enjoy them I play them with my dad
As a child I remember seeing DKC on display at Costco, then Price Club, a few months after its release. The graphics were like nothing I'd ever seen before at the time. Nowadays nothing graphics-wise impresses me quite like that did.
This game still looks unbelievably good. It was next level when it came out
Agreed
This brought a smile to my face. I remember so clearly playing this with my brothers and dad
1:07:07 Favorite sountrack in this game :,c !!
All music in this game is f****g amazing! The best is king k rool imho!
Agreed

Some Cirque du Soleil shit
There is a part of me that is enjoying watching how easy this game seems. Then there is the rest of me remembering playing this as a kid and is equal parts impressed & depressed at how easy you make this seem ^_^ You're awesome! Enjoying every playthrough you've posted!
I think I'm gonna start going back in life and start collecting all these old games and consoles
Oh mi niñez!! Como lo extraño. Podía pasar horas jugándolo y no me aburría😭💛
Era genial el juego yo lo jugaba en compu
x2
Puedes volver a jugarlo.
Super Nintendo mini. Trae 21 juegos incluyendo "Donkey kong country". Lo venden online en amazon 😎😁
Pueden tambien descargar los tres en happy chick
Fue mi primer juego de niño
Brings back memories whenever I play this, used to play on the original Super Nintendo console when I was like maybe 8 or 9, now I'm 19 yrs old, I'm playing this on nintendo switch
Este es uno de los mejores juegos de la historia, sin duda.
The music is FANTASTIC! That drumbeat, I can’t get enough of it. And this from a 26 year old game. 😮
It’s so amazing to see how all of our lives have been touched so deeply from this game. At the time I was just playing something because I was a kid but the memories that I have are priceless.
It's reminds me of my Chilhood and make me cry! The best game of the World!!
Same. I didn't really play it, I just watched my sister play it haha. It's like no time passed at all. Painful nostalgia

Brian Klingele
Brian Klingele right I remember playing this as a kid may get a Super Nintendo thru GameStop
As good as donkey kong country returns was it doesn't exactly have the same feel as the originals. Maybe I'm just nostalgia blind but the weight that you got when you bounced of a enemy in this game has not been replicated.
DK returns is still a fantastic game though. One of the best 2D platformers I ever played.
Yes true...very friendly for kids...nice music and maybe the first with new graphics in that era..
I remember when this first came out. Could not believe the graphics and sounds. I still have it 😊
Nice!!
26:45 that's my favorite level. Because I always wanted to live in a forest. Stay in a hut, like those high ones. I imagine living with friends in one of those huts. Singing songs, swim in the lake, eat plants and bears. That must be a fun life! Getting married, and raising my kids there. Awesome life! :)
Excuse me and Forgive me but are you on drugs or Something??? Because i say that the life could be too hard in the forest
That yould be cool but mosquitoes are annoying
maybe you should live in san diego where you get the beach, the snow and the factories
"eat plants and BEARS"???
good for you.. becuse i was terrified of the background as a kid like your comment
Ah, my childhood... I loved this game so much. My favorite levels are usually the ice worlds.
This game had amazing graphics for its time! One of my top fave games to play!
One of the few games that never gets old! Great music, graphics, and gameplay! I always get back into it!
My favorite game and video game soundtrack ever. Sometimes I would just come here just to smile for a bit. There's something magical about this game, is inexplicable.
I still remember being blown away by these graphics.
I still remember what my uncle did to me .

this song intro... very nostalgic
I have a story to tell that's both tragic and a little weird involving my Donkey Kong Country cartridge. I played the hell out of this game when I was a kid on my SNES back in the day and I loved it. one day I was alone, sitting on my parents' bed just looking at the cartridge admiring the label art or whatever. Idr exactly what happened next but somehow it fell down the part of the bed where you put the pillows. I looked all over the bed to find the game but it was gone. Like just vanished into thin air lol. I tried to find it one last time before we moved out of that house but it never popped up again. Still love this game though.
This video made me cry. I play hundreds of hour on this game in the 90s....
that was skillful. Almsot like a speedrun. Such quick movement and not even dying. Truly that Herd of Golden banas wa swell earned.
Ahh my childhood. I remember playing this game as a kid with my mom and my brother back in the day. I think this was one of our favorite games to play. Good times that sadly don’t happen anymore.
Awesome video by the way. You played and beat this game like a pro in my opinion.
God bless you for the high quality.
Thank you so much for uploading my childhood all in one video! Brings back so many memories! :')
Childhood alllll over again lol, I actually just finished a playthrough on this bad boy and trust me it was FREAKIN tough! Im going to play the sequal on my channel soon if you're interested in coming over mate
28/08/2019 siempre te recordaremos Dkcountry 💗
I have loved this game so much
Crazy! My cousin had this game and I would spend the night, we would stay up late playing this and Gauntlet Legends...multiplayer. A little sad watching this though, he passed away 2018. RIP Chris. ❤️ #90sBaby
Sorry about that hope u feel better
RIP Chris 🙏🏿
Sorry to hear that my cousin and I would play all 3 of the Donkey Kong series my favorite was the original 2 and 3 were good just not as fun😅.
1:44:12 não, mas essa transição da música alegre para mais agitada é um marco, meus senhores. Amo a parte também em que dar a entender que é o fim, mas ele ressuscita kakaka lembro de me estressar nessa parte. Quando consegui zerar fiquei bastante triste, pois o jogo foi tão bom e eu queria mais. Melhor jogo que já joguei
Slipslide Ride is so pretty and well designed in my opinion(yes I like all the designs for maps but the music was pretty relaxing as well with the course)
I’m drunk, looking back at my childhood and nostalgia is hitting me so bad that I wanna cry lol. Swear.
It's to know that this is coming to the SNES Online Service on the Switch.
