Thankfully it’s still easy to farm levels for banana coins as you try and fail, allowing you to stock up on extra red balloons/lives.

Beyond the additional items and heart capacity, Original and New Mode share the same difficulty and level layout, meaning New Mode simply gives you an extra hit before losing a life.Īnd it’s a good thing, too – with no change to the game’s difficulty, there’s still a lot of trial and error as you learn the rhythm of a level in order to survive it. Monster Games were very kind in their porting efforts not to simply label this new option as Easy Mode, a fact I’m grateful for.

Chief among them is the option to choose between Original Mode, which shares the Wii version’s two-heart capacity for Donkey and Diddy Kong, or the new New Mode with three hearts apiece and additional power-up items available for purchase from Cranky Kong in the game’s shops, including the Crash guard for mine-cart levels and a portable DK barrel, to recover Diddy Kong at any time. The main changes present in this game revolve around adjusted gameplay mechanics.
The game itself is a port of the original Wii title, with all the same story and level content an eruption of the volcano on Donkey Kong’s home island unleashes the Tik Tak Tribe, a group of living wooden masks who set about stealing his banana horde and generally causing trouble on the island, which Donkey Kong sets out to rectify. Thankfully with its move to the 3DS, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D has seen a few tweaks to make it better suited to short bursts of gaming on the go. As much as I loved playing DKCR on Wii, I found it hard to progress. Leo is the guy at Stevivor who likes his games hard, whereas I’m happy to take it easy (pun intended). I realise that the difficulty of the DK series is one of its hallmarks, but I wasn’t prepared. The series’ return to modern gaming seemed like a great way to jump on the Donkey Kong train. I’d never had the chance to play the older games in the series, having started my gaming career on a Mega Drive and not entering the Nintendo console world until the Wii.
When it first came out on the Wii, I was very excited for Donkey Kong Country Returns.
