Instead of both players working together at the same time, in Donkey Kong Country you alternate play. We picked up Donkey Kong Country as it looked like a pretty cool game to play co-op, but it did not provide the sort of co-op we expected. My brother and I used to stay with our grandparents we would rent a SNES console and walk to the rental store every day to choose a new game to play around with. I actually briefly got a chance to play Donkey Kong Country on the SNES when I was younger.

It is now time to peel back a banana and see if this SNES game still holds up today. Rare came up with an idea for a platformer that proved to be very successful and led to two additional sequels being developed on the SNES and then a 3D iteration on the N64. Nintendo was quite happy for Rare to develop a game starring Donkey Kong, who up to this point was just sitting on Nintendo’s shelf not really doing a lot (development on this title began before the Gameboy re-hash of Donkey Kong ’94). Developed by Rare, who at the time was a second party developer to Nintendo and consistently releasing new and unique IPs, which only got better when it came to the follow up console the N64.
