World 2, Monkey Mines. The minecart level in this world was one of the first real challenges in this game as you had to have really good timing for the multiple jumps over pits and crashed minecarts on the track then hopefully not get finished off by the last Kremling before the end of the stage. Fun little sidenote: I have a second cousin I'm going to get to play through this game someday. I'm going to train him to be an awesome gamer someday, but he doesn't know that's my true motive along with filling him in on all the things happening in the gaming world currently and lack of knowledge of past classic games. All this information will gradually be distributed to him.

It was first released on November 21, 1994 in North America, on November 24, 1994 in Europe, and on November 26, 1994 with the name Super Donkey Kong in Japan. Donkey Kong Country was the first Donkey Kong game that was not produced or directed by Shigeru Miyamoto, the character's original creator. It was produced by Tim Stamper instead, although Miyamoto was still involved with the project. Following an intense marketing campaign, Donkey Kong Country received very high critical praise and sold over nine million copies worldwide, making it the second-best-selling SNES game. The game was later re-released for the Game Boy Color on November 4, 2000, the Game Boy Advance on June 9, 2003, and Wii's Virtual Console on February 19, 2007. The game and its sequels were taken off the Virtual Console without notice on November 16, 2012, in the United States, and November 25, 2012, in Europe. However, they are going to be re-released on Wii U's Virtual Console on October 16, 2014, October 23, 2014 and October 30, 2014, respectively in Europe. Donkey Kong Country is a platform game where players must complete forty different side-scrolling levels (forty-one in the Game Boy Color version) and recover the Kongs' banana hoard, which has been stolen by the Kremlings. Each level is uniquely themed and consists of varying tasks such as swimming, riding in mine carts, launching out of barrel cannons, or swinging from vine to vine. Players lose a life if they get hit by any enemy or fall off the screen. To defeat an enemy, players can either execute a roll, jump or groundslam (a move reserved only for Donkey Kong). However, some enemies cannot be taken down like this, so the player must throw a barrel or use the assistance of an animal. Enemies vary in difficulty, usually becoming tougher to take down as the game progresses. When the player has lost all their lives, the game is over. However, the player can gain additional lives by collecting items scattered throughout the levels, including bananas; golden letters that spell out K–O–N–G; extra life balloons; and golden animal tokens that lead to bonus levels. There are also many secret passages that can lead to bonus games where the player can earn additional lives or other items. Players of Donkey Kong Country control one of two characters: Donkey Kong or his nephew Diddy. The player can switch between characters if they are both on the screen. Donkey is the larger and stronger of the two, and can defeat enemies more easily. Diddy is faster and more agile, but not as powerful. In several levels, players can gain assistance from various animals, who are found by breaking open crates. These helpers include Rambi the Rhino, Expresso the Ostrich, Enguarde the Swordfish, Winky the Frog, and Squawks the Parrot. Each animal can be found in an appropriately themed level: for example, Enguarde can only be found underwater, and Squawks will be found in caves. Some animals can also give players access to bonus games --- Stone Monk Wisdom stonemonkwisdom --- Donkey, Kong, Country, SNES, Super, Nintendo, part 2, 02, World 2, Monkey, Mines, Roller, Coaster, Railroad, Winky's, Walkway, Mine Cart Carnage, Bouncy, Bonanza, Stop & Go, Station, Millstone, Mayhem, Necky's, Nuts, Diddy, Funky, Candy, Cranky, Rambi, Enguarde, Winky, Bananas, and, Sex, because, Maximillian, of, Yovideogames, retro, classic, platformer, vintage, 1994, King, K., Rool, Kremling, Island, Platformer, Walkthrough, playthrough, let's play, スーパードンキーコング, Famicom,
