Donkey Kong Country (GBA) - 101% Longplay (No Damage)

Originally recorded for www.longplays.org
Played by: Mariofan98
It's the GBA port of the great SNES Game from 1994 released in 2003.
Meantime after SNES (1994) and GBC (2000/2001) the third version of Donkey Kong Country (1).
In contrast to SNES and GBC has the game with this a new mini game (the Funky Minigame was already in GBC)
and the DK Attack where you can collect a lot of points for good grades.
Will you see more? Go to the Donkey Kong Wiki.
This is the COMPLETE game 101% without getting damage.
Sorry I even now and then go back for the things I've forgotten.
Thanks to GameKirby (for submit the Playlist) & smoke072 (for the Walkthrough Playlist) for help.

One of the best games I used to own and play when I was 6. Sometimes I played it in my room, at my backyard, at the park, and sometimes during bedtime before school. I just never thought I was a luckiest kid to be part of this Nintendo hysteria back then.

You can still see it on the DS. If the Game Boy Advance pak is inserted.

[@alejandrovaldez9848]

Adding the voices from Donkey Kong 64 to the GBA series was one of the best decisions ever made in my opinion. This is probably why I’ll still play this over the SNES version.

[@marnixmaximus3053]

Like which sounds for example?

[@cookimaus1]

Also i like the colors alot better too, even if its a bit too low contrast

[@RangoTheMercenary]

I remember when this first came out. I couldn't believe Nintendo would actually just up and release DKC on the GBA when they had literally released it on GBC years prior.

[@TyG2k9]

I never played the gba version. I noticed how it didn't turn nighttime at the end of Jungle Hijinks or how it didn't stop raining and turn daytime at the end of Ropey Rampage like the SNES version. Limitations I guess. Still a solid looking game, nonetheless.

[@polycube868]

At least it rains in Ropey Rampage unlike the GameBoy Color version...it's also at night in the SNES original, in the GameBoy Advance it's just a rainy afternoon.

[@dragonofthenight9084]

This is so impressive, no damage run.

[@JosueTheChef]

Damn hearing that drum intro again made me happy

[@bigfatmeanni]

I’ve been teaching myself to play Mindcart Madness blindfolded. When I was a kid, I learned to play it one handed and I found that I always jumped at certain parts of the music. I’ve almost been able to make it halfway every time. Sometimes I make it to the checkpoint barrel and sometimes I get really close to it and take an extra jump where I don’t need to resulting in screwed up timing and missing the barrel completely.

[@ahem8013]

SAME. favorite level by far

[@selinaogorman8380]

I love donkey Kong country for the snes and happy when I bought it for the gba sp they didn’t change it they did add some mini games to it but this game is great and the graphics are amazing for a snes game still a masterpiece.

The ending music in Donkey Kong Country it’s a sad music it makes me cry

[@johneygd]

For years, i didn’t liked the GBA version of DkC ,but recently i must admit that despites the overbrighted colors & zoomed in graphics, there’re some small improvements to it ,such as rotating DK letters, or you see dropping feathers when you kill those birds, or you see a frontground layers such as in the underwater levels,mine care levels,temple levels, and those jungle levels etc,,, also some bugs were fixed, also despites many sounds are not correct,especially in the music department with mostly incorrect instruments ,but i must say that there’re many new and extra sound effects wich are not only nice but it fits well to the game and/or they are of higher quality., i also must admit that i do like the animated zoomed in worldmap screens,, all these enhancements do makes me jalous why the snes version lacks all these extras, i first tout it coun’t be any better,but the GBA version proves me wrong .

I actually prefer the soundtrack of this over the SNES. Probably because of my bias for my love of full on music and against atmospheric music. (SNES focused heavily on atmosphere, GBA focused on music)
