An original (and portable!) followup to Donkey Kong Country. This time, a bitter Cranky Kong, jealous of all the success Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have had from Donkey Kong Country, asserts that the only reason their first adventure was such a big hit was because of all the fanciy graphics and sound, thereby challenging that they'd never cut it on an 8-bit system. Against his own brethren, the haggard, spiteful, geriatric gorilla allies himself with that old dastard, King K. Rool, who contrives to steal the banana hoard once again.
