it’s time to venture far and wide across
jungles oceans and lost temples in one
of the most beloved Nintendo franchises
of all time welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 Donkey Kong Country
levels
for this list we looked at a variety of
levels from the Donkey Kong Country
series that ranged from the rareware
classics on the Super Nintendo to retro
studios revival series with returns and
tropical freeze no monkey business here
folks these are the best of the best
number 10
ramble blasts Donkey Kong Country 2 DS
conquest head-spinning first entry onto
our list this dizzying level had Diddy
and Dixie Kong navigating their way
through a nasty ramble mates what makes
this so intense is that movement is not
how it conventionally plays out as the
player must solely rely on blasting
between barrels to make progress
furthermore these barrels consistently
shift degrees and directions making
careful timing and precision a must to
make it to the end of the stage in one
piece number 9 grassland Roo Donkey Kong
Country tropical freeze if you ever
wanted to recreate the famous scene from
The Lion King where Simba gleefully
leapt from plants and wildlife in a
lively dance this is your level a very
bouncy and musical stage the player must
guide Donkey Kong across the landscape
as the many creatures and wildlife sway
and swerve to the rhythm of the beat the
gorgeous graphics are something to
marvel at providing some spectacular
sights as the colors pop and shine
perfectly complementing the already
soothing musical score
I’m rate
tanked up trouble down to Tom country
Donkey Kong must really love those
bananas if he’s willing to go through a
level like this for them
similar to bramble blast there is a fun
twist to how the player navigates
through this treacherous area the catch
this time is that the Kong’s must rely
on a moving platform to move forward
however the platform in question has a
very small supply of fuel requiring the
Kong’s to gather fuel barrels along the
ride to keep things in order
adding to the challenge is a relentless
barrage of oncoming zingers and Nikki’s
flying towards you so yeah
are those bananas really worth a DK
number 7 frantic fields Donkey Kong
Country tropical freeze
hang on to your hats this one’s a heck
of a rush of wind that is taking place
inside of a massive twirling and dusty
tornado as it storms through the wide
open savanna terrain the player will
have to fight their way through the
usual suspects of chasms to cross and
enemies to eliminate all while dodging
the full force of Mother Nature
the intensity of the storm only
escalates as you advance further with
lightning strikes and winds that reach
such breakneck speeds that the level is
torn apart before your very eyes quite
the frantic fields indeed but hey at
least it’s fun to see penguins flying in
the storm number 6 rip saw rage Donkey
Kong Country 3 dixie kongs double
trouble
slicing itself into the next spot on our
list is this pulse-pounding stage which
demands that the player keep up a
blistering pace of upwards momentum to
avoid a massive saw tearing everything
down you’ll clench your controller with
every jump as danger is really never far
behind this fast-paced level also
encourages replayability as its frenetic
speed can be very addictive and
furthermore you’ll want to go back to
collect all those bananas and coins you
missed the first go-around hey leave it
to this series to make near-death
experiences a really fun time number 5
cliffside slide Donkey Kong Country
tropical freeze
don’t be fooled by all the snow this
level is no time to chill out really
hammering home the subtitle of the game
the player must plow through harsh
conditions while ascending a massive
mountain trail this perilous uphill
battle is filled with death-defying
leaps as DK soars through the air all
while a destructive Avalanche shakes the
world around you one of the shining
features of retro studios rendition of
dkc are their silhouette stages we get
to first see their beauty with sunset
shore and a Miss abyss puts it to unique
use underwater but the epic avalanche of
cliffside slide is a sight beyond words
number four titled terror Donkey Kong
Country Returns we hope you brought
lifejackets part of the beach world in
the game this level in particular stands
out for the gargantuan tidal waves which
rush towards the screen these bursts of
water are constantly splashing over the
level so it’s absolutely imperative that
you keep an eye out for shelter
otherwise you’re going for a swim this
danger applies to everything else in the
level too so the player can use the
waves to their advantage to clear a path
before moving forward this direct
interaction with the level provides a
unique gameplay experience and earns a
spot on our list
number three
blackout basement Donkey Kong Country
for this entry
the Kong’s must traverse through a
factory themed level it contains the
usual set of obstacles enemies to dodge
barrels to burst open and guests across
should be no biggie at this point right
how about the addition of not being able
to see the lights will flicker on and
off throughout the factory leaving you
momentarily in complete darkness so
watch your step we feel bad for decays
like a vision in the scenario however
for us it’s plain to see why this quest
through the dark is awesome
number 2 castle crush Donkey Kong
Country 2 Diddy’s conquest yet another
level which provides an additional
element to the gameplay to spice things
up from standard platforming sections
the gimmick this time around is that the
floor is constantly rising as you climb
higher and higher through the castle
walls you have to be careful not to get
sandwiched between ceilings and the
always rising floor never a dull moment
each tight squeeze requires fast
reflexes and precise platforming
providing a hefty challenge and tons of
excitement
you’re also able to transform into RAM
be to knock anything out of your way
and later squats to make a frantic race
for that DJ coin before we unveil our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
number one rickety race Donkey Kong
Country to Diddy’s conquest there have
been quite a few car theme plays in this
video game series with an excellent
example being that of minecart carnage
from the original Donkey Kong Country
however this entry edged it out for
encompassing every aspect of what makes
the Donkey Kong Country series so
enjoyable a total thrill from start to
finish
rickety race has it all as you’re
dealing with stressful Easter in your
cart you’re also racing nine enemies who
are on the same track and feeding them
rewards you with a DK coin of course you
have to really gun it if you want to get
there first
there are so many great levels in the
dkc series that even we couldn’t fit all
of our favorites onto this list so let
us know what some of your favorites are
