Minecart carnage is the craziest one back in the day

[@DigitalGreenTea]

I love Donkey Kong Country. The graphics were mindblowing and the soundtrack was ahead of its time. I think the level design often gets underappreciated. You can tell the designers put a lot of thought into every nook and cranny. I‘m a big fan of the minecart sections of the game. I‘ve decided to make my own Indie Game based on those minecart sections. Let‘s see how it goes.

[@tonyjohnwilliams8149]

Exactly what I thought.

[@chrisjenkins7459]

I remember my ex used to play it cause when I brought the super nes back then this game came with so, she used to play all the time while I was at work and she would tell me how far she had gotten. She did beat the game though.

[@kwhardin]

For a game that came out in 93/94 the soundtrack is very futuristic sounding to me. The bonus level music sounds kind of similar to some music you’d hear on the super Mario bros wii game. The graphics are very impressive too for a game from the early 90s. While I was team sega back then, my cousins had a Nintendo so my sister and I would visit them to play DK or Mario and they’d come to our house for Sonic and Ms Pac-Man lol. Now I’m 31 and team PlayStation all the way

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!

[@Wis_Dom]

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.

[@PeacefulPauseProductions]

The fact that even ps1 games kept using the graphics. Specifically final fantasy 7-9.

[@LITTLE1994]

I totally agree. For 1994 (year I was born, by the way), it was revolutionary.

[@Videogamer-555]

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.

[@TheMightyThor83]

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.

[@robertleighty4217]

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.

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.

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".

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.

[@galloviking4766]

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.

[@trinidadmetroid]

You are so right. This game blew my mind as a kid. One of the best gifts my dad ever got me.

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.

[@SeriesTube01]

I remember there's a cheat for the "Mine Cart Carnage" level. The gameplay make it look easy (like all gameplays do) but that level was very hard. I FOUND THIS CHEAT ON MY OWN. Here you go: at 14:11 you have to jump over the cannon barrel into the left side of the cliff, there's another cannon barrel (invisible) down there that will take up, you will go down into a cart and continue from the part at 15:34, just jump over the incoming enemy cart and you're done. You can actually complete that level very easily in less than 20 seconds. 👍

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

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! :)

[@jasonharris996]

As a Nintendo fanboy back then, I felt this game single-handedly took down Genesis. The fully rendered graphics, the soundtrack, and overall gameplay simply couldn't be achieved on Genesis (that's not to say that Genesis didn't have its own great games). DKC is an all-time classic!
