Donkey Kong Country Returns is a side-scrolling platform game developed by Retro Studios for the Nintendo Wii. The game follows Donkey Kong as he sets out to reclaim his stolen banana hoard from a group of evil Tikis that have taken control of Donkey Kong Island. Featuring classic gameplay elements and new levels, it revitalizes the legacy of the Donkey Kong franchise.
Under the influence of a group of evil Tikis, the animals of Donkey Kong Island have raided Donkey Kong's banana hoard and stolen his stash of bananas - and being an ape of large appetites he understandably wants them back. Good thing that you are along for the ride. With Donkey Kong Country Returns, Retro Studios brings Donkey Kong back to a banana and platforming hungry public in a new side-scrolling adventure with familiar characters and new levels that reignite the passion players had for the Super NES original and all things Donkey Kong.
