Remake or not, still great!
This remake of the incredibly good Wii version is very fun, challenging, and diverse to play. The Wii version felt very fresh in the Donkey Kong Country series, so if you haven't played Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D yet, you should definitely give the 3DS remake a try!

For the first time, you can experience the world of DK in three dimensions. DKC Returns is a 2.5D sidescroller, which means the game continuously moves between foreground and background. The 3D effect adds a lot to this. For example, when you are launched between the trees of Jungle Hijinx with a Cannon Barrel, it's a sight to behold!

However, the controls, compared to the Wii version, are a bit more awkward. Shaking the Wii Remote actually worked better than using button controls. But this doesn't spoil the fun at all! It also has an advantage; if you accidentally shake the WiiMote, you might roll yourself into an abyss. This is no longer an issue with the 3DS.

The multiplayer is also a blast. It's really great to roll, jump, and who knows what else through the world of DK and Diddy with someone else! Fortunately, the game doesn't freeze often and runs smoothly.

The new content, only 8 new levels, is very challenging, but that's about it. I actually expected more from that, but it is still a remake.

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is a very enjoyable game and you will definitely spend a lot of time with it. The game is not short-lived. Whether you have played the Wii version before or are now looking to meet the monkeys and the beautiful jungle in 3D, this game is a must-try!

Donkey Kong Country Returns was already a fantastic game and has only gotten better.
We were already familiar with Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii. Now, three years later, this title is also making its way to the 3DS. Initially, it may seem like nothing more than a simple port. But is that really the case?

We knew it was a good and challenging game, and that remains true on the 3DS. The game also looks visually impressive on the handheld. The controls have even improved. On the Wii, you had to shake your Wiimote to perform a roll. Instead, you now execute a roll with a simple press of the X button. This might seem a bit simplistic, but it does make a difference when you accidentally fall off a cliff because you were scratching your nose.

For those who found Country Returns too difficult, a new difficulty level has been added. In this mode, you get three hearts instead of two. Additionally, there are new items in the shops that will make the game easier for you.

In addition to the new difficulty level, the 3DS version of Donkey Kong Country Returns also includes some extra content. Specifically, there are a few new levels that you need to unlock first. This adds an easy two hours of extra gameplay to the experience.

If you haven't played the original Donkey Kong Country Returns yet, this 3DS version is definitely worth buying. However, if you've already played the game on the Wii, there may be better games available for you.

Still a fantastic platformer
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is a fantastic game. The levels are challenging, the environments and enemies are beautifully designed with a fun style, and the game is full of secrets. Even for those who are not fans of the New Super Mario Bros. games (like me), this is a very enjoyable game. The controls are even better than they were on the Wii, as the constant shaking with the Wii remote is no longer present. At times, it almost seems like the game was made for the 3DS, as you constantly jump back and forth between different layers. The additional levels are fun, but otherwise, the game is exactly the same as the Wii version, so if you already have that version, this one is really not worth it.

Challenging top game!
Donkey Kong's island is under attack, with the animals being hypnotized and stealing his bananas. Along the way, you need to try to collect as many bananas, puzzle pieces, and letters as possible. An example are the letters K O N G, but of course, there is more to it, but you need to be up for it! It's very challenging, at times you have to grab barrels along the way and throw them through wood to get letters.
In Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, you also have the smaller monkey Diddy. He is very useful as he jumps higher, and your hearts are increased by 2 (so you have a total of 4 hearts). At the end of the game, an extra world has been added in the 3DS version of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, which is also very difficult to complete!!
This game is for those who enjoy a challenge. It hasn't changed much compared to the Wii version, as it is essentially a remake. However, on the 3DS, this is definitely a good game, and I highly recommend playing it! Truly a top game!

18 tips: 10 Easter Eggs and Glitches - 5 Secrets - 3 Personal tips

Personal tip:
How can I maximize my speed in Time Attack mode?
Mvoske
22069
16 jaar
In Time Attack mode, it's obvious that time and speed are of the essence. Simply moving or running forward won't cut it. That's why here's the next tip: roll as much as you can. If you have Diddy on your back, this is really easy—just keep pressing 'X' all the time. However, if that's not the case, it gets trickier because there's too much time between rolling and standing back up. That's why it's crucial to jump immediately after your roll. This way, you jump much faster and further than usual. Give it a go yourself, I’d say!

Secrets:
How do you unlock the Cloud Levels in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D?
Wesleye98
24725
In Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, there are 9 levels that aren’t included in the Wii version. It’s a bit of a shame that you have to unlock them first. I was really eager to play them quickly. But how do you unlock them? The 9 new levels are hidden in the Cloud World. The portal to get there is the Golden Temple, which appeared in the Wii version but only had one level. It’s quite simple; defeat the boss in World 8 and then restart the game. Now the Golden Temple Cloud Gate is unlocked, and you can enjoy the new levels. By the way, each level has its own theme, which corresponds to the themes of the 8 previous worlds.

Secrets:
How do you play Mirror Mode in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D?
Wesleye98
24725
Ever wanted to play a 2(.5)D scroller backwards? You can do just that with the Mirror Mode in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. In Mirror Mode, you play all the levels from right to left. To make it even tougher, you start with one less heart than usual, you can't use items from Cranky's Shop, and the absolute worst part is that you can't bring your buddy Diddy along. So, how do you unlock this mode? Complete the very last level in the game: W9-9, also known as the Golden Temple. Good luck with that!

Secrets:
How do you get a blue medal in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D?
Kietje
1823
If you collect all the letters (K-O-N-G) in a level in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, you'll earn a red medal. If you collect these letters again, but this time in mirror mode, the red medal will change to blue.

Secrets:
What is 'The Golden Temple' in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and how do you gain access?
Kietje
1823
Once you've completed the entire game, a new level called 'The Golden Temple' will appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. However, you can't enter this temple right away. First, you need to collect 8 rare orbs by gathering all the letters in each level again or by purchasing them in New Mode at Cranky Kong's shops.

Easter Eggs and Glitches:
When do Donkey and Diddy Kong start playing on a Nintendo DS?
Bramd de Groot

If you leave the controller untouched for long enough, Donkey and Diddy will pull out a Nintendo DS and start playing on it, before tossing the device away in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.


Secrets:
Why should I go left when starting a level in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D?
Wesleye98
24725
When you start a level, you usually head to the right. However, if you want to collect all the puzzle pieces for some fun extras, you should try going left at the beginning of the level in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. Sometimes, the first puzzle piece of the level can be found there. Or you might just score a bunch of bananas.

Easter Eggs and Glitches:
Why is there a statue of Billy Mitchell's tie in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D?
Bramd de Groot
39210
Billy Mitchell is a passionate Donkey Kong player known from the documentary The King of Kong, where various enthusiasts compete against each other in the original Donkey Kong arcade game. Billy Mitchell is easily recognizable by his tie featuring the American flag. Apparently, someone at Retro Studios has seen the documentary too, as in level 3-2 of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, there's a statue wearing Billy's tie!

In two-player mode, if you shoot peanuts at the bosses Mugly and Thugly from worlds 1 and 6 while playing as Diddy Kong, they will temporarily freeze and eat your peanuts. This allows Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D to easily jump on their backs to defeat them.

Bramd de Groot
