Donkey Kong Country 2 is a side-scrolling platformer for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Rare and published by Nintendo. It remakes the 1995 SNES game, with Diddy and Dixie Kong crossing 52 levels of Crocodile Isle to rescue Donkey Kong from Kaptain K. Rool. This version adds saving on the map, Diddy’s Dash and Expresso’s Racing, and the four-player Funky’s Flights minigame.
