Diddy and Dixie Go on an Adventure!
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest was released in 1995. Like Donkey Kong Country, it is a platform game developed by Rare. Players control Diddy Kong and his friend Dixie Kong, who must rescue Donkey Kong after he is kidnapped by King K. Rool. The game is set on Crocodile Isle, with eight worlds of varying environments, totaling 52 levels. The game uses the same Silicon Graphics (SGI) technology from the original, which features the use of pre-rendered 3D imagery.
Diddy's Kong Quest received acclaim, being widely regarded as one of the greatest 2D platformers ever made. Praise was directed at its graphics, gameplay, and soundtrack. It was the second-bestselling game of 1995, the sixth-bestselling game on the SNES, and the highest-selling SNES game that was not packaged with the system. The game features a wide number of enemies, which include land-based reptilian Kremlings, rats, porcupines, bees, and vultures. Each world culminates with a boss fight, which is required to be defeated in order to progress to the next world.
