Leaving aside the improved graphics, the main novelty of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is the combination of elements from the Wii and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game. This means the option to choose between motion controls or buttons (or use both) to slam the ground, roll and blow, play the eight additional levels included in the Nintendo 3DS version, and play the modern mode more relaxed to use hearts and additional items or to the original mode to take on a more difficult challenge.
The Donkey Kong Country Returns HD campaign does not hide any type of mystery. While Donkey Kong and his best friend Diddy Kong enjoy a sunny day, the Tiki Tak tribe hypnotizes the inhabitants of Donkey Kong Island and steals the entire supply of bananas. Their trail will take the two apes on an adventure throughout nine scenarios, ranging from a jungle to a volcano, through ruins, a cavern or a cliff. In total, the game offers 80 levels where players must defeat enemies, solve puzzles, recover bananas and find objects and secrets. Also, at the end of each world there is a boss.
Players can play alone or pass control to a second player to take on the role of Diddy Kong, a character who can lend a hand in local co-op. Diddy has a jetpack and can also take on enemies with his peanut, a special weapon made of wood that shoots peanuts. During the campaign our heroes will also have the help of other animals, including the rhino Rambi. For the more curious, in most levels you can find four KONG letters that unlock a secret level in each world.
