DESCRIPTION

The sequel to 2005's King of Swing on Game Boy Advance, DK Jungle Climber stars characters and elements introduced in Nintendo's Donkey Kong Country series on the 16-bit Super NES. Diddy Kong now tags along on Donkey Kong's back to help his uncle complete objectives. Once again the action primarily involves using the left and right shoulder buttons to climb on pegboards with Kong's left and right hands. New features include levels spanning two screens in height, additional moves and items, and an assortment of mini-games to unlock.

Characters and backgrounds in Jungle Climber are rendered with a 3D effect, mimicking the style used in the Donkey Kong Country series. The single-player adventure mode has gamers guiding both Donkey and Diddy in a quest to stop King K. Rool's nefarious plans. Players will travel high and low, across the sky and below water, while collecting bananas and letters spelling "kong." Up to four friends can compete in multiplayer battles supporting both download play and local wireless options. Playable characters in the Kong family include Funky, Dixie, Donkey, and Diddy. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
