Is it the smashing terrain or the funky way you move around? I can’t decide. Maybe it’s all about those weird power-ups with the “bananza” transformations. But there’s more, right? Donkey Kong’s got this fresh look now. He’s no longer that sneaky guy from Donkey Kong Country. Nope, he’s turned into this lovable goofball who’s just happy about bananas and, oh, his buddy Pauline.
