Although many recognize him from the original 1981 arcade game, legendary British video game developer Rare revamped DK into the ape we know and love today when they released the Super NES classic Donkey Kong Country. These days Donkey Kong is best known for failing to keep his massive banana hoard safe from the likes of King K. Rool and the Tiki Tak Tribe, and going on massive adventures with his family to retrieve them all. Donkey Kong’s games are known for their tough but fair level of difficulty, atmospheric music, immersive levels, and charming cast of creatures, and while most of his games are great, we found a few standouts worth your consideration.
