About this game

This update adds Dixie Kong as a secondary playable character (just like Diddy Kong), with her signature Helicopter Spin move; a fast-paced Turbo Attack Mode with high-speed versions of each level and optimizations for running on Switch 2, including GameShare support.

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are back for some ground-pounding action in this HD version of Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released on the Wii system. Play solo, or with a buddy in local two-player co-op, in an adventure brimming with hijinks where you can stomp obstacles, send mine carts careening, fly high on rocket barrels and even hitch a ride on Rambi the Rhino. Experience 80 a-peel-ing levels, including the additional ones from the Nintendo 3DS version.

The villainous Tiki Tak Tribe has stolen Donkey Kong’s precious banana hoard and the Kongs are barreling after them in pursuit!
