About

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D offers over 70 levels of banana‑hoarding platform action starring Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Run, jump, climb, and defeat enemies across diverse environments to reclaim the stolen banana hoard, rebuilt and optimized for portable play on Nintendo 3DS with stereoscopic 3D. This port includes both "Original Mode" (faithful to the Wii release) and an easier "New Mode" with extra items and health, plus an exclusive extra world of eight new levels.
