From the arcade cabinet's giant ape to the gorgeous Donkey Kong Country games, DK is a platforming legend. RomWize re-ranks the best entries by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Donkey Kong Game Boy 1994, and arguably the best game on the system. The original four arcade screens explode into 100+ true puzzle-platform levels, Mario learns to swing, climb and carry. Absolutely prodigious Nintendo work. Essential on Game Boy."
"A port of a platforming high point from Retro Studios, with fierce difficulty and exquisitely crafted level design. Every stage overflows with ideas and secrets, and David Wise's soundtrack ranks among the finest in the genre."
"A collect-a-thon atom bomb from Rare. Five Kongs with distinct abilities, eight enormous worlds and two hundred golden bananas build an outsized adventure. The pace sometimes sags under the weight of content, yet the richness, writing and generosity remain unique on the N64."
"Retro Studios platformer reviving the DKC saga on Wii. Demanding levels, gorgeous animation, local co-op with Diddy, occasionally awkward Wiimote shake controls. A brilliant Wii exclusive, essential for fans of modern 2D platformers."
