While Mario is the undisputed man when it comes to all things Nintendo, let alone forget it was Donkey Kong who gave the planks a leg up in the video game world. Ancestors the actual game not only by winning the arcade and introducing the world to the character that would become Nintendo's mascot, it also saved the company and set it on the path to becoming the world's biggest trouble and cultural icon for today.
It's easy to forget how many games Mario still has in his name. Since 1981 Donkey Kong up to the Turnch port of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Ice, the monkey and his colleagues have consistently featured in Nintendo games for almost 40 years now. It's about time we calculated every Donkey Kong game from big to bad, then! Or, more accurately, going from bad to very good.
Below you'll find just that – Donkey Kong's all-time great games range from bad to brilliant. We've only included games on Nintendo consoles, so you won't find any similar porn Donkey Kong 3 Dai Gyakushuu. We have limited him to full games where the ape has a star-crossed role – we would be here all day if we included all the karting and tennis games with the DK family. We have also released game and watch titles (which can be accessed by various streams Gallery Game And Watch collections or DSiWare) and covered a few ports due to the decline in biodiversity – DK and his team were in the whole game collection!
Enough for the monkey business. Let's take a look at the best DK games. Here's the w–, here's the w–, here's our go!

We start at the bottom, which is appropriate because this DK racer really is a low & # 39; The DK Bongo originated by GameCube, has moved to its self-controlled barmy bongo peripherals designed for the Wii Remote fleep. The & # 39; Black Blast & # 39; s the Barrel Blast and you moved your Wiimote and Nunchuk up to speed. Unfortunately, the race is sluggish, directions are visible and visuals seem to be rope even when. The fact that DK and Diddy are excellent entries Mario Kart Wii

Donkey Kong Jr. Math adds some math to the basic depth of the grape and softness of Donkey Kong Jr. in an article that includes all the fun in all math and math games (hey, we're told numbers can be fun if you understand them). Includes & # 39; education & # 39; and & # 39; entertainment & # 39; to do – you guessed it! – a bad game. Think of a poor kid who got a NES presentation too this is – there must be at least one.
Don't regret it too much, though. Boxing models for Donkey Kong Jr. Math they cost a pretty penny these days, so silver lining and all that stuff. The title makes the game sound dreary, and much more, which saves it from the bottom of the list. At least it offers the promise of its name.

The tables turned as follows in the original arcade as Mario kidnapped Donkey Kong, so it's up to Junior to rescue King Kong Senior. We've had plenty of ports over the years, and the latest version of The Switch from Hamster gives you the ability to customize your transition mode to the most authentic virtual reality experiences you'll find out of the arcade. It's hard to argue that the basic gameplay here is never worn, though, and you'll need a healthy dose of nostalgia and / or academic interest in the game to get a lot of fun from now on. There's a bit of retro fun to have, but we can imagine the dozens and dozens of classic & # 39; 80s classics we'd rather play than Donkey Kong Jr. regardless of which platform.

If the push comes to draw, we would like to sit down with him Donkey Kong 3 over at Donkey Kong Jr. only in a way that deviates from its predecessors in surprising ways. Managing Nintendo's most popular icons, the … Stanley the Bugman, it's your job to use your bug spray to divert the progress of flower fan Donkey Kong through your heat holders. DK has installed an army of bugs and bees to keep you busy while he goes with your prize for pets.
Aside from the lack of iconical gameplay and sounds that have crept into the video game, there is something compelling in Stanley's fight against the lightweight, and something sad in the knowledge that Stanley will disappear into the spotlight afterwards. Well, that's not right; Stanley has been in charge of a couple of theos over the years in games like this Smash Bros. and WarioWare series, but rarely hear Nintendo fans complaining about his return. Poor Stanley.

With DSiWare's introduction of the Martin vs Donkey Kong platformer series, nothing goes wrong Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! – it's just one of those & # 39; If you can't get enough of this & # 39; lf-key-gameplay series, the third entry is okay and includes a level editor just like its predecessor, & # 39; be.

Following the infamous Barrel Blast, developer Paon saved himself a bit by returning to the DK formula he started in Game Boy Advance e DK: The Swing King. DK: Jungle Climber because DS puts you in control of your favorite simian wearing when riding in the woods using shoulder buttons and works well on real hardware. The soundtrack is a little disappointing by DK's high standards, but this and its predecessor is a distinctly controllable entry in the Kong canon that is worth watching or does not match the height of his famous moments.

The first 3D entry in this area until it was a side-click story, Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Mov translates the & # 39; ceplay to the size game, even if you don't add any basic formula. As you may have seen from the title, the mechanic and the contestant have resolved their differences in this and are simply MC and Pauline stuff here, thus undermining Donkey Kong's presence. While gameplay can sometimes be annoying and feel bad, MADMOTM (or & # 39; am-mottom & # 39 ;, as no one ever called it) is still a fun time when you've been patient.

The first GBA sequence, Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of Minis he gave players control of the versions of the small pipes with a touch screen rather than following Mario around like a Pied Piper, and the game became a bit more entertaining. It saw the return of Pauline for the first time in many years, someone now familiar with even the younger Mario fans behind his co-star Super Mario OdysseyNew Donk City.

In a lovely, artistic color, DK: The Swing King it takes the context of Clu Clu Land and make a good game of it. Using the shoulder buttons to slide around and drop into pins throughout the forest, this twist on the DK game is quite refreshing after many familiar 2D platforms and games of the Day. It's nice to see him do something other than his usual wheelchair that doesn't include driving karts, hitting tennis balls or swiping a golf club with one hand. It's not a perfect classic for stone cold, but DK: King of Swing is a fun little animated game and a fun atmosphere among all this monkey 2D wrap business.

Setting up the look on both the Wii U and the 3DS (the latter also received Mini Mario and Friends: amiibo Challenge the main attraction of the series), Mario vs Donkey Kong: Star casting stars it goes back to the 2D player and gives us a taste of the fun action-puzzle series in glorious HD for the first time. It's the same, though the Mi Various integration makes sharing your learning levels a breeze and, when basic gameplay is exciting for you, it's easy to forgive how often Nintendo has come back to its DK box with Mario metro Meis. With the Wii U dead and buried (and various about it), this is another idea we didn't know you'd see restored to the switch.
