Donkey Kong Country Returns is a 2010 platform game produced by Nintendo and Retro Studios (of Metroid Prime fame). It's the first entry in the Donkey Kong Country series since Donkey Kong 64 in 1999, and the first side-scroller since Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! in 1996. The plot this time concerns the Tiki Tak Tribe, a group of evil tikis that have hypnotized the animals of DK Island, forcing them to steal Donkey Kong's treasured hoard of bananas for their own nefarious plans. Along with his best friend and second banana Diddy Kong, the big guy sets out to get them back.The game features many popular series landmarks, such as pirate ships, mine cart rides, and of course, plenty of lush wilderness to get lost in, as well as the goal of collecting scattered bananas and golden K-O-N-G letters. A co-op mode has been implemented, but gone are King K. Rool and any underwater stages, as stated here.The game is the first in the series to be made with no cooperation from Rare, because Microsoft bought Rare in 2002. So once again, after 11 years, it's on like the eponymous ape.A 3DS version called Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D was released on May 24th, 2013 in all regions.A Wii U sequel called Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was released in 2014. | |

Coup de Grâce Cutscene | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_11204355 | comment |
Coup de Grâce Cutscene: This happens twice with bosses. Once after you deliver the final blow to whatever critter the Tiki of that world is possessing (showing the critter fall unconscious in an over-the-top manner), and one where Donkey Kong punches out that Tiki. The latter comes with Action Commands to add more hits! | |

Directionally Solid Platforms | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_116451c7 | comment |
Directionally Solid Platforms: The game manages to recreate them in a 2.5D game — even though the platforms and Donkey Kong are rendered as 3D models, Donkey Kong can still jump up "through" them and then land on them, and it's rendered as if he were passing "in front" of the platform instead of through it, yet he doesn't visibly move along the Z-axis. | |

Temporary Platform | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_1664fe9f | comment |
Temporary Platform: Mostly of the "crumbling" varieties, and some levels (like World 1's secret level, "Platform Panic") are built entirely around them. One level in World 3 has a grid of platforms that appear and disappear at regular intervals (not unlike the infamous platforms of Mega Man fame), but thankfully, you have safe ground to land on underneath. | |

Direct Continuous Levels | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_18d0e38c | comment |
Direct Continuous Levels: The first level in each world shows traces of the previous world's theme, so, for instance, 3-1 starts out on the beach before moving into the ruins, 4-1 has you coming out of ruins before going into a cave, and 5-1 starts out in a cave before blasting you up into the forest canopy. The only exceptions are 1-1 (for obvious reasons) and 6-1 (which, for whatever reason, doesn't really start out in anything forest-like). | |

Eternal Engine | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_19028da | comment |
Eternal Engine: World 7 (Factory). This industrial facility, originally shrouded in fog until the completion of its first level, is where the Tiki tribe takes the stolen bananas and prepares their juice to feed their master (Tiki Tong). As Donkey and Diddy venture through it, they have to deal with dangerous mechanisms like fire pistons, giant mallets, purple electric barriers, and moving pieces of mechanical terrain. In three levels, the Kongs also have find and press hidden switches in order to enable the launch of a rocket that will take them to the lair of the world's boss, Colonel Pluck. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: The game has three endings, though all of them are good (it all depends on which character(s) deliver the last blow onto the Final Boss): If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are present, Donkey Kong and Diddy will fall towards the moon before Donkey Kong pounds it, ending the Tiki tribe. Diddy then makes a safe landing. If only Donkey Kong is present, the same thing happens, this time without Diddy. Donkey Kong will keep falling until Diddy saves Donkey Kong. If only Diddy is present (only possible when the player who played as Donkey lost and only the player with Diddy remains), Diddy will fall towards the moon and tries to use his jetpack, but the jetpack goes out of control, causing Diddy to land headfirst into the moon, which ends the Tiki tribe. Donkey Kong then catches Diddy as he falls. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: If you buy items, Cranky Kong will make fun of you. Then again, he is Cranky Kong. Notably, he keeps his mouth shut if you buy the key that unlocks the extra level in a given world, the only item in the shop that doesn't make anything easier. If you die a lot in a given level, Professor Chops will give you the option to have the Super Guide (featuring Super Kong, a white CPU-controlled Palette Swap of Donkey Kong) beat the level for you. However, the computer purposely avoids collectible items that are out of the way, and you're unable to actually keep the items he does collect. | |

Palmtree Panic: The second world, simply named "Beach", is set on DK Isle's tropical beach amid the wrecks of numerous ships (overlapping with Gangplank Galleon). Crabs and squid abound, as does a very large squid monster that harasses the Kongs in one level. There's also a level with turbulent tides that can only be avoided by taking shelter in rocky spots, as touching the tides spells instant death. | |

Primal Fear: Muncher Marathon. Partway through the level, you awaken a whole swarm of creepy black spiders that end up chasing DK and Diddy Kong all the way to the end of the level, and literally eat them alive if they catch them. The sheer quantity of spiders in the level is disturbing. | |

Platforming Pocket Pal | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_275e3abb | comment |
Platforming Pocket Pal: In normal gameplay, Diddy spends his time mounted on Donkey Kong's back, aiding him with his Jet Pack while DK handles the actual platforming. However, he's perfectly capable of dismounting DK in multiplayer, at which point he's as vulnerable to the platforming as DK is, depending on the skill of the second player. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: Donkey and Diddy, despite being able to swim endlessly underwater in all previous DKC games as well as in 64, are now unable to swim. They WILL die if they fall into the water, as if it were a Bottomless Pit. By the time Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze rolled around, they apparently took some swimming classes, but never got to the lesson about how to avoid drowning. | |

Non-Indicative Name: One level is called "Peaceful Pier". Other than three very small wooden platforms floating in the sea, there is no pier, and the level consists of piloting a rocket-powered barrel over an ocean while being perpetually bombarded by fire from a pirate ship. | |

Level in the Clouds | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_2af6a2cb | comment |
Level in the Clouds: The Golden Temple (solo level in the Wii version, ninth level of world 9 in the 3DS version) combines this setting with Level Ate. Several giant fruits are suspended in the sky, and Donkey and Diddy have to take them with extra care in order to avoid falling into the abyss. This being a 2.5D game, the vertical-moving bananas can only be stepped on when they're aligned with the axis of the characters (they're looping from the background). Horizontal-moving bananas simply oscillate, cherries explode shortly after they're stomped on, strawberries and blueberries have trouble resisting the Kongs' weight. Lastly, several Tikis appear from small portals to attack the Kongs with projectiles. | |

Misbegotten Multiplayer Mode: This game and Tropical Freeze have a co-op mode which seems to benefit gameplay as both Kongs can move separately AND tag along to use the single-player version moves. However, due to the Nintendo Hard difficulty and that, unlike the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series, players share lives, it can become a hindrance. | |

Checkpoint Starvation: Muncher Marathon has an Advancing Wall of Doom made of spiders. Once you hit the checkpoint, you can finish the level in 30 seconds. Everywhere before that, if you die, you are back to square one. Near the end of the game, level 8-5's first stretch is quite a long and difficult one. The Temples. There are no checkpoints. For any of them. And the majority of them are 5-8 minutes of pure old-school platforming. The Golden Temple has no checkpoints either. | |

Mad Bomber: Stu◊ has only one attack that doesn't involve throwing various kinds of bombs from the pot he's in (swooping at you). The rest are all explosive-based, and to beat him, you have to throw his Cartoon Bombs back at him. The "mad" part comes from the fact that he's Brainwashed and Crazy. The Kowalees in the Golden Temple frequently toss bombs at the Kongs, who have to toss them back at them to defeat them. | |

Mook-Themed Level | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_38374e26 | comment |
Mook-Themed Level: Level 3-5 (Itty Bitty Biters) stars little furball enemies called Toothberries, who first observe and then ambush the player by jumping out of the floor and objects inside an ancient temple. They also have variants encountered through the level, like a stack of four of them that is too tall to be Goomba Stomped and a caged one that's effectively invulnerable, but can be exploited to provide a huge jumping boost for the player. Level 5-8 (Muncher Marathon) is focused on running away from a tidal wave of ravenous insects aptly named the Munchers, who consume everything in their path. The level is divided into two sections: the horizontal section near the start that lasts two-thirds of the level, and the final vertical section near the end where you must ascend quickly by barrel cannons to keep ahead of the climbing Munchers. This level also features bigger, defeatable spiders called Skittlers, which are implied to be the adult form of the Munchers (as they share very similar models). | |

The World 7 (Factory) level selection music is also rearranged with literal industrial noises and a sharp electronic sound. | |

Prehistoria | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_414388fb | comment |
Prehistoria: World 6, the Cliff, is a primeval canyon where brown mud flows in many levels, greatly reducing Donkey's and Diddy's motion when they're soaked in it. There are also dinosaur ribs they can step onto, crumbling rocky platforms, and spiky boulders. Besides the dinosaur ribs, another prehistoric motif is fossils reminiscent of the Leviathan infants from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (both games were developed by Retro Studios). | |

Auto-Scrolling Level | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_418208c3 | comment |
Auto-Scrolling Level: Any minecart or rocket barrel segment. The vehicles in question will move forward on their own, and the Kongs' job is to dodge the incoming attacks to avoid dying (since One-Hit-Point Wonder is in effect here). With minecarts, the Kongs control the jumps; with the rocket barrels, they steer up and down. | |

Toggling Setpiece Puzzle | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_442304c0 | comment |
Toggling Setpiece Puzzle: The World 7 level Switcheroo lives up to its name by featuring luminescent switching walls, colored red and blue. Only one colored group of them (the red ones by default) will be active at a time, acting as walls that impede DK's progress while the other group will be inactive and turned off. But by passing by spherical switches in the walls, their states will reverse, with the red ones retracting and the blue ones brightening and protracting. Later walls can be used as platforms to reach upper areas, and in some cases, DK and Diddy must avoid passing by the switches to avoid falling into a pit by removing supporting ground. | |

Once they defeat all Miners in one particular chain of wagons, they proceed to chase the next one and repeat the process until reaching the King Mook Mole Miner Max and defeat him to win the battle. | |

Scenery Porn: General consensus is that the silhouette level in the sunset is beautiful. Remember Retro's last project, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption? A game that was already gorgeous? DKCR has three times as many polygons. Several levels are scenery porn, to the point of hindrance because while you're staring at the chunks of rock slowly melting into the lava, the streams of lava pouring down from ledges, and the fireballs launching from below, you can forget that these things are there to kill you. Don't worry, the game reminds you soon enough. The barrels that catapult you about a mile in Longshot Launch. | |

Bonus Level of Heaven: Collecting all the KONG letters in the levels, and then completing all world's secret temple levels unlocks very definitely bonus temple on the world map... which is Nintendo Hard and Checkpoint Starvation, with brand new Unique Enemies that you won't find anywhere else in the game. | |

Big Red Button: One is hidden in each of the three later factory levels. You must find and activate all three to open the rocket level that leads to the boss. Lampshaded directly by Cranky Kong. The Ruins level "Button Bash" is full of them. | |

New Game Plus: Mirror Mode, available after finishing the game and completing the bonus levels (including Golden Temple). When playing a level in this mode, all items that you collected (puzzle pieces and KONG letters) remain as such, so your goal is to simply reach to the end. Easier said than done, however. Donkey Kong cannot be helped by Diddy or the inventory items, and he only has one HP. | |

Balloonacy: Cranky's shop is suspended in the air via balloons. The Red Balloons that served as extra lives in the original series are now justified; when you're defeated, the death screen shows your Kongs using the balloons to ride back to the nearest checkpoint. The Nintendo 3DS port reintroduces Green Balloons (which would go on to appear in Tropical Freeze as well), but unlike in the SNES trilogy where they granted two extra lives, these are bought from the games' stores and used as a Bottomless Pit Rescue Service - if a Kong falls into a pit while they have a Green Balloon equipped, it'll lift them back out. | |

Level 3-5 (Itty Bitty Biters) stars little furball enemies called Toothberries, who first observe and then ambush the player by jumping out of the floor and objects inside an ancient temple. They also have variants encountered through the level, like a stack of four of them that is too tall to be Goomba Stomped and a caged one that's effectively invulnerable, but can be exploited to provide a huge jumping boost for the player. | |

The end of Crumble Canyon, in which you have to outrun a giant flaming Tiki ball (which can kill you in one hit) while maneuvering through a series of obstacles. | |

The Lost Woods: World 5, simply called Forest, features a wide array of elements like the trope-naming Springy Spores, buildings and objects that can be clinged onto thanks to their populated grass patches, moving totems, large vines that can be used for swinging, and a region where spiders proliferate at an alarming rate. Interestingly, the first level is named after the forest world from the first Donkey Kong Country, Vine Valley. The boss is Mangoruby, an electrified caterpillar that can only be hit when it's exposed to the sunlight (as it's only during that time when its electricity is negated). | |

Musical Assassin: The villains of the game are the Tiki Tak Tribe, who combine Mind-Control Music and plain old soundwave-based attacks to lead a takeover of Donkey Kong Island. The Mooks of the group all look like bongo drums, while the seven lieutenants of the tribe each resemble a different musical instrument: Kalimba the mbira (a kind of small Zimbabwean keyboard), the Maraca Gang (take a wild guess), Gong-Oh the gong, Banjo Bottom the banjo, Wacky Pipes the panpipes, Xylobone the xylophone, and Cordian the accordion. Their leader, Tiki Tong, resembles a gigantic drum. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The puzzle pieces. Squawks will start chattering when you approach where one is hidden, but this won't necessarily tell you where the piece is hidden or how to reveal it — that's up to you. There are two particularly egregious examples: One is in the ruins; there is a puzzle piece hidden off the bottom of the stage in a place you would never know to even look, as there is no hint it is down there. The other is near the end of the game, where he squawks around a small platform just above the lava. It seems like a puzzle piece would spawn there, but in actuality it is simply a platform to allow you to access the real puzzle piece — namely, behind a breakable wall in a bonus room, in an area where the last (and only) barrel is a great distance behind. If it were not for Squawks, these would be nearly impossible to find. | |

The Faceless | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless: Tiki Tong is never seen until the very end. Hiding him is so extreme that, unlike the previous Tikis whose silhouettes appear when you lose a life in their respective worlds, if you die before facing him in World 8, all you see is a question mark. | |

Gangplank Galleon: An interesting variation. Our heroes run through a ship as it's being attacked by Squiddicus, a giant octopus, forcing them to dodge its tentacles and platform on floating pieces of debris. There's also a level that takes place on several ships that are attacking you/each other with cannon balls. Additionally, there are a few smaller areas within levels where you get rocketed onto a ship on the background. | |

Meaningless Lives | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_8b6a1576 | comment |
Meaningless Lives: While the game is pretty difficult, this is a classic example of a game with meaningless lives. Most of the difficult stages have bonus rounds near the start of them, allowing you to gain infinite extra lives — and indeed, dying in them often will gain you stocks, as the bonus round has 1-2 extra life balloons in it AND bananas, and coins (which can be used to buy extra lives, as well as other items) are plentiful, and all the more so when you start dying repeatedly on the harder stages later in the game, thus collecting the same banana coins over and over again. This game provides a similar thing in Meaningless DK Barrels. Some levels provide you with DK Barrels right before long stretches of Blast Barrels, Rocket Barrels, and Mine Karts that go on until the end of the level. These areas are One-Hit Kill, and the other benefits from having Diddy (his rockets, for example) are a non-factor, rendering him completely useless. | |

One-Hit-Point Wonder: Both DK and Diddy actually have two hitpoints apiece, but when you're riding a mine cart or Rocket Barrel, colliding with anything is invariably lethal, as it destroys the cart/rocket.

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Due to motion-controls instead of a button press, rolling may very well become this in the Wii version. In the original trilogy, rolling/cartwheeling/ponytail spinning into an enemy would give you a burst of momentum, allowing you to easily take out whole rows of enemies with just one attack. In Donkey Kong Country Returns, the roll goes farther, faster, but does not have this property unless you got Diddy in single-player mode. In the very first level, almost right away, you'll encounter three basic enemies in a row. If you try to roll through them all like in the old days, your roll will end just in time for you to slam into the third enemy and get hurt. A self-contained example: it's easy to get used to Diddy's jetpack, and to try to use it even when he's not there. | |

Justified Extra Lives: Previously, the balloons were just there for you to collect and gain extra lives. Now, they carry you back into the stage upon the event of dying. In co-op, if one Kong dies and the other summons him back, one of the balloons will carry in a DK Barrel for you to break and bring the first Kong back into action. If both Kongs are dead, two extra lives are given up in order to bring them back. | |

Here, he can break through blocks much larger than himself, and is not only immune to Spikes of Doom; he actually destroys them on impact. The only thing that can harm him this go around is fire. | |

Saw Blades of Death: One enemy, the Buzzsaw, is a sentient sawblade which is found attached to various surfaces. They can't be killed, so the player needs to go around them. | |

Interface Spoiler | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Interface Spoiler: While the game is good at hiding the temple levels, the Golden Temple, and the Mirror Mode emblems, it slips up at World 6: You could only see six level spots on the World Map in addition to the boss level spot, but upon viewing the Level Summary, you see two more instances of "?????" than there should be. Sure enough, upon clearing what appears to be the last level before the boss, the road that appears to lead to the boss crumbles, and the two missing level spots finally appear in an otherwise conspicuous area of the map. | |

Respawning Enemies: In a departure from the original DKC series, all the normal mooks in the game will respawn to their original positions after being defeated, if you move a few screens away and come back. This can be annoying a lot of the time, but other times it's useful when you need the mooks for Goomba Springboard situations, as the respawning enemies will allow you multiple attempts to reach otherwise unreachable areas. | |

Final Boss | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_ad4a45be | comment |
Just like in the original games, it can suck a lot to go through any segment without already having the second Kong, especially if there happens to be no DK Barrels between your current checkpoint and the end of the level. This very much applies to the Final Boss, because if you die, the only way to get Diddy back is to restart the whole level and go through the Rocket Barrel gauntlet again. Only to probably die again anyway. Your best option is to accept it and fight the final boss using only DK. And Diddy is very, very useful in this fight. Thankfully, this doesn't become an issue in multiplayer. | |

Mickey Mousing: The game sometimes does this with the Rocket Barrel levels. For example, in Peaceful Pier, the music becomes more frantic as the pirates fire more and more cannonballs at you. The Truck Driver's Gear Change happens when the pirates decide to bust out their biggest cannon. However, this trope only applies if you don't respawn at a checkpoint, otherwise the music won't match the action. | |

Furthermore, each mine cart level and rocket barrel level have instrument changes for their respective themes dependent on the level. | |

Convection, Schmonvection: World 8. Walking around and jumping over lava flows? Volcanic ash blowing in the wind, like snow? Big deal. As long as you don't fall in the lava or touch the flaming enemies (one of which you can duck under and be completely unharmed, even though it was just inches above you), you're fine. In at least one level, there are moving platforms that dip into the lava and rise back out. You can burn yourself if you jump on them too soon, but this danger period passes quickly and DK often ends up standing on a rock that is still glowing red. Cranky said it best: "We apes have no need for the laws of physics!" | |

Unique Enemy | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_b0e18b32 | comment |
Unique Enemy: A few enemies really only show up for a single level. Mimic, an enemy that resembles Mobile Shrubbery, appears in Sunset Shore. Tiny hummingbirds called Humzees show up in a single room of Button Bash. Also from the Ruins world is the Giga Rangwi, a King Mook of the shark-like Snaggle. This giant piscine is only found at the very end of Damp Dungeon, right before the goal. Since the specific stage it is found in is optional, it means that it's possible to miss it on an initial playthrough. The Kowalees are purple koalas wearing neckties who throw bombs at you. You only encounter them in the very last level, Golden Temple, and this is also their only appearance in the entire franchise to date. | |

Double Unlock | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_b53d88da | comment |
Double Unlock: Beating the final boss reveals the game's secret world. In the original Wii version, it only has one level, but in the Nintendo 3DS version, it has nine levels (with the new ones being examples of All the Worlds Are a Stage, as they're thematically based on the regular worlds). Regardless, if you want to play it, you need to get the eight orbs from the Nintendo Hard hidden temple levels... which themselves require that you get all the KONG letters in the other levels. In order to unlock the hidden dioramas, it's not enough to get all of the puzzle pieces in the aforementioned temples: The bosses must be defeated as well. Also, unlocking the gallery images for Tiki Tong Tower and Tiki Tong require you to collect the puzzle pieces (as per usual) in the levels "Moving Melters" and "Red Red Rising" respectively. However, you also need to defeat Tiki Tong in order to actually view them. | |

Too Dumb to Fool: Donkey Kong himself appears to be capable of resisting Kalimba's hypnosis (which had taken over most of the other inhabitants of DK Island by then), most likely due to his thick-headedness and scrap-happy nature. | |

Corridor Cubbyhole Run: Slammin' Steel and Boulder Roller both have segments involving this. Tidal Terror. Large tidal waves crash into the level at regular intervals, and anything (including enemies and items) that isn't behind cover gets washed out of the level. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Whereas in the original DKC, a single player could freely switch between DK and Diddy to play as either one, this Diddy is effectively just a powerup, as he was in Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber, that grants DK two extra hits and a jetpack for mid-air jumps (and you'll need it). Diddy is only truly playable in two-player co-op, and only by Player 2. Squawks is demoted from his role in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. In those previous two games, Squawks was controllable and could fly around and shoot enemies. In DKCR, he's reduced to sitting in the corner of your screen and letting you know when there's a puzzle piece nearby to be found. A non-character example — the second and third Donkey Kong Country games feature plenty of hidden areas where you earn a Kremcoin or Bonus Coin by beating all the enemies. In here, there's exactly one such area, in Poppin' Planks. One. | |

Goomba Springboard | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_b93b00ef | comment |
Goomba Springboard: Rather than just holding the jump button, you have to press it the moment you hit the enemy from above. This is a survival requirement in some of the harder levels where said enemies are the only thing between you and a Bottomless Pit. It's at its worst in Platform Panic, where you have to get the extra height quite a lot. Then sometimes they throw in a puzzle where if you get the extra height, you hit a spiked ceiling and lose a heart. After a long stream of high jumps, this flies straight into Damn You, Muscle Memory! territory. | |

Playable Epilogue | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_b9e82f09 | comment |
Playable Epilogue: The Golden Temple serves this role. More so in the 3DS version which has multiple levels instead of just one (Wii version). There's also Mirror Mode, but there the Golden Temple and every other level is unlocked de facto, so it feels more like an open-ended New Game Plus where you have to clear all levels again regardless of order. | |

Continuing is Painful | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: Just like in the original games, it can suck a lot to go through any segment without already having the second Kong, especially if there happens to be no DK Barrels between your current checkpoint and the end of the level. This very much applies to the Final Boss, because if you die, the only way to get Diddy back is to restart the whole level and go through the Rocket Barrel gauntlet again. Only to probably die again anyway. Your best option is to accept it and fight the final boss using only DK. And Diddy is very, very useful in this fight. Thankfully, this doesn't become an issue in multiplayer. This is how the temple levels are. No checkpoints and (usually) no DK Barrels. Unless you wanna go to another level and get Diddy there, if you die, you'll be forced to navigate with just Donkey and his two hearts. | |

Idle Animation | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_c64db44b | comment |
Idle Animation: Donkey Kong looks around, sits on the ground, pulls out a Nintendo DS, and plays while Diddy watches over his shoulder. After a while, he gets bored and tosses it casually over his shoulder. This may or may not have been inspired by a famous incident (Retro Studios took note of it on their website) wherein a kid dropped his DS in the gorilla pen at the zoo and the gorillas played it. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out A stage set in the ruins features an enormous stone statue of the original Donkey Kong holding a Wii Remote, as opposed to a barrel, over his head. In fact, the sprite is a modified sprite from Donkey Kong Jr. Math, with the tie added and a sign replaced with the Wii Remote. One of the stages is named King of Cling. "Foggy Fumes" has a trio of them - you can see the first level from the original Donkey Kong at the start of the stage, a skull reminiscent of Crocomire next to it, and Mr. Game & Watch pounding away at a pipe later on. Crocomire's skull isn't the only Metroid reference - there's a few fossilized Infant Leviathans / Parasites at the beginning of "Tippy Shippy". Fitting, considering the devs of this game are the same people who made the Metroid Prime games. In the beach levels, there are crab enemies that scuttle sideways along the ground. Ground pound near them and they'll flip over — ground pound again and they'll flip over again, unlike most enemies, which stay stunned. In "Button Bash", there's a giant monkey statue wearing a tie patterned with the American flag. This is undoubtedly a reference to video game champion Billy Mitchell (from the movie The King of Kong), who was known for wearing the same. | |

Patchwork Map: The game actually justifies the trope by having the first levels of each world being a transition between it and the previous world. For example, the first level of the beach world has Donkey Kong leaving the jungle from the first world, and the first level of the factory world has several rock formations in the background which belong to the previous cliff world. | |

These bonus areas return in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. | |

Spread Shot: The boss Thugly has a move where it spits out a fireball which explodes into three, then one of those three explodes into another three, and finally one of those splits into three yet again. | |

| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_d7d588c8 | comment |
Lethal Lava Land: World 8, which somehow manages to outdo the one in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It is here where the leader of the Tikis, Tiki Tong, is located, and it was there where he was inactive until the volcano's eruption. Features include hovering balls of fire, lava drops, fiery enemies and rivers of magma. Even the minecart and rocket levels have the Kongs deal with geyser-like lava eruptions, and dealing with them requires good reflexes. | |

Art Evolution: The original Donkey Kong Country trilogy featured a realistic art style and cartoony characters with realistic fur and textures. This game goes for more of a "painted cartoon" look and adds cartoony effects and animations to top it off. The fact that the series changed hands (formerly Rare, currently Retro) has something to do with it. | |

Mercy Mode: Similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, after dying enough times trying to complete a single level, Professor Chops will appear and offer the "Super Guide", which calls in a Palette Swapped white DK to play the level for you. The game clearly warns you that Super Kong will only complete the level — you don't get to keep any of the items he collects in the process. Which means that in order to unlock the Golden Temple level, you must beat the hidden Kong Temple stages by yourself, because that's the only way to collect the orbs at the end of each temple level. | |

Jungle Japes: The first world is specifically devoted to this trope, but later worlds still contain elements of it, up to and including the factory.

Also, one of the jungle levels features a beautiful sunset background, and has its whole design based on silhouettes. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: The Volcano area of Donkey Kong's Island houses the lair of Tiki Tong, the leader of all the Tikis that have stolen all the bananas and hypnotized all animals except the Kongs and three of the Animal Buddies (Squawks, Rambi and Professor Chops). The levels within the Volcano are very challenging, and the one housing Tiki Tong himself averts the Boss-Only Level trait shared by all other boss levels in the game and the other 2D games in the series: Before meeting the Big Bad, Donkey and Diddy have to reach it by traveling upward through a perilous vertical section with a rocket barrel. | |

2.5D: A sidescrolling game rendered entirely in 3-dimensional graphics. Some levels feature additional layers in the background (or foreground) that the player traverses between using barrel cannons. | |

Jungle Jazz | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_ff9af0b9 | comment |
Jungle Jazz: The jazzy theme that plays during the Rocket Barrel sections. Played with, as it's mainly associated with the jungle-dwelling Kongs; it wouldn't actually appear in proper jungle levels until Tropical Freeze. | |

Chromosome Casting | |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game) / int_ffb79066 | comment |
Chromosome Casting: The game manages to be this as only five characters (Donkey, Diddy, Cranky, Rambi and Squawks) come from previous games and everyone else appears to be male or having unconfirmed genders. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You: As if the minecart levels weren't bad enough, the Rocket Barrel levels crank this right on up to eleven without apology. | |
