NLife: "Donkey Kong Country is now two decades old Donkey Kong is Nintendo's first major star, having made his début in the arcade game that effectively turned the company into the global monster it is today. However, when Mario decided to become Super on the NES and take his place as Nintendo's number one mascot, DK was bumped down the pecking order and relegated to a secondary role until 1994, that is. UK studio Rare now part of the Microsoft family but back in the '90s a key Nintendo ally took the popular primate and gave him his own platforming adventure on the SNES. Donkey Kong Country was remarkable not only for the fact that it played brilliantly, but also because it used ground-breaking CGI visuals which looked leagues ahead of other 2D games on 16-bit consoles."

The Game Inquirer says: "Two Donkey Kong Country games finished and now we reach the final entry in the original trilogy. Donkey Kong Country 3: Double Trouble is uncharted territory for me so I decided to record my experience with the first world of the game. Is it a worthy successor to the original two? Was I missing out on this potential platforming classic?"

"Im sure fans of Rare and Donkey Kong are still very happy that all of the Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land games have been added to the Virtual Console for the 3DS and Wii U (respectively). However, Donkey Kong Land III was not the last Donkey Kong game made by Rare. Some people must already be wondering what will become of their next contribution to the series: Diddy Kong Racing. But is there any real chance that well get to see it again, in its original glory?" - Rice Digital

"Donkey Kong Country was a fun and popular platformer for the SNES, but not everyone thought it was great. Some people (possibly Mega Drive / Genesis owners) said the game was in fact quite poor and any fans were deluded fools drawn to it for reasons other than gameplay or, as Cranky Kong says, put a few fancy graphics and some modern music in a game, and kids'll buy anything nowadays.... His comments came in the original instruction booklet to Donkey Kong Land, setting up the story as he challenges Donkey Kong and Diddy to try a similar adventure on an 8-bit system. They agree, and after Cranky has contacted King K. Rool to steel the banana horde again, the duo set out for a new adventure."
