One of the best games for the Super NES is even better.

Released at the tail end of the 2D era, the Donkey Kong Country games blew minds not only because they pushed the envelope in terms of graphical design, but also because their refreshingly challenging gameplay, action-packed levels, and tons of unlockable secrets.

The GBA port of Donkey Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest adds the allure of two-player co-op and a slew of bonus games in which you race ostriches, pilot a helicopter through rings, and collect bugs without being clubbed to death by a walking alligator. The playable build of DKC 2 controlled smoothly, and the visuals are just as beautiful in that quasi-realistic way--even though they may suffer a bit in comparison to more modern GBA releases.

The game is being re-released for a reason--it's classic platforming at its best and most innovative.
