Donkey Kong Country Returns 2010

Is it still worth playing?

Retro Studios' 2010 side scrolling platformer for the Wii, in which Tiki creatures hypnotize the island's animals into stealing Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's banana hoard. Donkey Kong resists the music, so he and Diddy travel across nine worlds to recover the bananas, each world ending with a battle against a Tiki Tak Tribe leader. In single player Donkey Kong is the only playable character, with Diddy on his back giving jetpack help for jumps, and a second player can control Diddy. Ground pounds, done with a motion control, defeat enemies and reveal secrets. Returning elements include mine cart levels and vine swinging, and new silhouette levels show characters as silhouettes. After eight lives are lost in one level, a Super Guide lets a computer controlled Super Kong complete it, so a hard level can still be finished.
