Play Donkey Kong Country for the FIRST time they said, be grand they said... 

Donkey Kong Country is a game that will teach you how to be a gamer with a crowbar. Uncompromising, unforgiving, but once you learn it, you can fly through these levels in a beautiful flow of jumping, rolling, and barrel shenanigans.

Between all the Zelda and now DKC, you're just playing through my childhood.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, who's played DKC has gone through what you just went through. The relentless hours trying to beat the game, finding all the hidden bonus levels, dying 99% of the time, frothing in your mouth as the upbeat world music mocks your frustration. And it's fun!

He's learning all the things we learnt and mastered back in the day. Welcome to our realms.

My older sister and I used to play this game a lot together. She even taught me a secret about the "Stop & Go" level. If you go left as soon as you start the level, you will skip 90% of the level

I have so much nostalgia for Donkey Kong Country, but admittedly, it is INCREDIBLY difficult, especially by today’s platforming standards. Cool to see you play it, regardless, Dee!

Ah, Rareware. Their old classics like this are fun to go through. Conker's Bad Fur Day is a GEM.

I’ve been playing this game for 27 years and it never crossed my mind that CRANKY KONG IS THE ORIGINAL DONKEY KONG! You figure that out on first first play. Holy shit.

The DKC trilogy is a classic! Just wait until you get to DKC 2. That one’s my favorite :D

I feel like this is the perfect representation of what it would have been like if streaming was a thing back when this game first came out.

DKC is an absolute classic. The music in it is a bomb, the atmosphere, everything.

Now I want him to play DK64 and react to the greatest disstrack ever made.

At 33:34 when he had to keep resetting, I laughed so hard my sides hurt. I remember watching my brothers play this and the other two DKC games for hours as a kid.

That's why for those old games, you READ THE MANUAL! Also, Aquatic Ambience is the best piece of music for the SNES.

I really hope you keep this going as a series. Donkey Kong Country is the best 2D platforming game series of all time IMO, so I hope you give it a good chance, and maybe even play through the whole series of games! I know I would really enjoy watching it, so I really hope you like it.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, there's nothing as simply fun or frustrating as a good platformer. And if you think this music is good, DKC2 will blow you away.

The level of happiness (laughs) I got from this is immeasurable.

Man, donkey kong country's music is so well composed. Definatly one of my favourite video game soundtracks of all time. I have so much nostalgia for this game. Thank you for playing it.

18:19, that was a perfect cut. I laughed so hard.

This game is going to drive him bananas, not gonna lie, i was excited to see him play this again yesterday, hope he does it eventually, there's something fun about seeing him play less serious games.

Man I’m 30 now and I played this game on the SNES non stop as a child ❤️ the soundtrack is also epic .Enjoy lad .

"Aquatic Ambience" the song from the water level is one of my favorite pieces of music ever

It's really funny to me that Mr. Kingdom Hearts 2 Master is put in our childhood platforming game and barely passes the first level. Not in a mocking way of course, but really. Just think about the contrast.

One more piece of the puzzle for when he eventually plays Subspace Emissary

It was so funny watching you play DKC for the first time. It was a great bonus stream that day and I’m glad it became a video! 👍🏻 Hope you can play more retro games in the future! 😄

37:19 Literally sounds like DeeBee’s returning to monke, and it’s glorious.

This was so funny during the stream, this game Is a pretty difficult one complete, but it's so fun Technical problems can bring great and unexpected surprises Have a good trip to london deebee

It’s harder when you have to get all secrets etc, you missed lots of them. 🤣 Donkey can also do a ground slap move. DK 2 is harder.

Honestly. imo the DKC SNES trilogy is one of the best trilogies in gaming history. Even the 3rd one despite the existence of kiddy kong is still incredibly fun today

4:02 yo bro thanks for introducing Donkey Kong Country!! When you get three animal buddies tokens, you'll enter to a bonus stage. In that stage try to get as many animal buddies as you can within the time limit. These are the buddies: Expresso the Ostritch, Enguarde the Swordfish, and Rambi the Rhino! Greetings from Puerto Rico. Oh and by the way if you want to get 101% you must visit every single area, plus discovering the bonus rooms!

Honestly, I would love to see you finish this and then play one of the new games like DKC Returns. I think you'll enjoy how different, yet similar they are

The rewinding to constant dying was hilarious

The editing of this episode is hilarious! And honestly, you’re doing better than I would. The game’s just hard.

Yes, officer! That guy over there has been trying to choke me to death... with laughter.

So much respect for this man, people say “play this game” and he does XD

Dee see Cranky Kong, "Is that Donkey Kong, like really old." Nintendo: Yes, but technology, no.

Between Metroid and this, it seems Dee is discovering the counterpoints to “Nintendo games are easy.” Who wants to see him play Octo Expansion next? 😏🐙🐙🐙

Those older nintendo games often have their backstories told in the game manual. For this one, Donkey Kong had his banana horde stolen by King K. Rool and he's off to get it back

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH! One of the greatest plataformers. And amazingly still hold up today. The difficulty is cool at the beginning, but man, next levels are really tough.

That Aquatic Ambience soundtrack is one the most legendary video game soundtracks ever made, you experiencing it for the first time brings back so many good memories for me.

Play DKC: Tropical Freeze for more modern tighter controls. Its also one of the best 2D platformer all around

IMO, DKC is all about technique and reaction time. Lots of difficult stuff can happen really fast, so you have to learn how to master the controls and understand how to handle what the game throws at you. Don't be afraid to slow down and take things slow, such as during that one ruins level. There's a lot of techniques you can learn and use that make the game move faster. It can get to the point where you speed through a level, almost as if you were playing a Sonic game. Take it slow and steady as you learn how to play the game, learn the techniques, and have fun. Levels are full of secrets. In the first game it doesn't matter much as it's just for lives and there's no way to keep track of what you have and haven't done. In all the future DKC games, they unlock bonus content and are a lot of fun to go for. EDIT: Staying calm under pressure and taking a second to take the world in is crucial for Donkey Kong. You can be caught completely off guard and if you panic, you'll fail. You have to stay calm. It can be a bit cheap at times, but it gets better as the series progresses.

I have never watched any of your videos before, but seeing a first time Donkey Kong Country player is more than enough motivation for me to subscribe and see how it plays out.

I felt such relief at 7:50 when DeeBee discovered the run button. it's painful watching someone playing this without running the whole time

I know a lot of games have really good soundtracks, but this is hands down my favorite OST

Ah man this made my morning, especially those last 5 minutes of insanity. Now imagine doing this as a 7 year old back then without save states, those were the days. Almost makes me feel like Cranky!

I'll never forget this game. It gave me the same level of frustration. Drove me "bananas". The hardest part for me was in the mountains in a snowstorm. All the background art was awesome.

5:21 I have to say, it's impressive that he really missed the secret cave there. I think it's harder to miss than it is to find.

Dude you should totally play all 3 and then the new ones as well. You’ll probably end up breaking your controller but it’ll be worth it for sure 😀 I just played through all of them for the first time this year and the originals hold up amazingly well. So as I’m sure you can imagine, the new ones are just that much better. Tropical freeze in particular is on my top 10 favorite games of all time I would have to say as far as gameplay goes.

Its always great to see more people playing this game, definitely one of the kings of the SNES

OMG watching Dee Bee playing DKC for the 1st time made me remember how frustrating was to play this as a kid again, I had the EXACT the problems with each of the levels you kept dying lol, this video is awesome. Keep bringing old school videos playing for the 1st time, so nostalgic.

When the first level gives you several bonus lives, you know this game about to have its way with you.

MY BROTHER IN KONG... Two thing: 1. This is one of those platformers where speed kills. Over and over and over again. 90% of this game must be played really deliberately. Take your time. 2. ROLL-JUMP: Those items below the platforms and lead to ""certain death", you can use your ROLL to roll off the platform and do a mid-air jump while the roll is happening. This allows you to not only jump further, but you can roll off a platform, drop, and then jump out of the "pit". That's a simple technique, but one you HAVE to master for this game. It'll make a lot of things MUCH easier to contend with. Loving these, by the way! I'm 44, and watching you go through my games from when I was a kid is so much fun. You're Metroid Prime series was great. I LOVE watching someone fall in love with a thing that I love. You really seem to be having fun and really respecting and appreciating these games. Nintendo definitely has a rep for it's type of games, and intended audiences, and whatnot. They're STILL thought of as the "kiddy" company in the industry. But there's also a reason they've been around for forever. And it's really nice to see people from outside the Nintendo community (eg, Sony, XBox, pc gamers) experiencing Ninty games from a perspective of actually giving these games a chance and enjoying them for themselves. I appreciate you, brother.

One of your all-time best Nintendo videos! Say cheers to Dormammu for me.

DK is my childhood. I Love that you are also playing it now! You will sure Love DK2 the way i do, its really the best one of all three Games 💕💕

Please continue! Can't wait to see how you play in the caverns and Fear Factory 😂

Everybody is gangsta until the mine cart starts going.

Man this really took me back to my experience playing these when they came out. The games are hard but very satisfying to get good at - and the music is amazing!

Learns how to run. Immediately forgets how to run in the next level.

I would love to see more DKC! And eventually see you play the true masterpiece that is DKC 2

One of the KEY mechanics of DKC is the midair jump. If you roll off a ledge you can jump midair. Mastering this technique is crucial.

"The music is good, isn't it?" Yes. Yes, it is.

I literally teared up from laughing because every gamer needs know how hard mine cart carnage is. I’m glad you made it hahaha

This really made my evening. DKC is my favourite series! I especially love the second game. Any intention on perhaps checking out the sequels when you finish this one?

DKC2 is by far the best of the series, but DKC still brings me so many good memories

I was so happy seeing you play tho game that represented most of my treasured years,if you continue this game I’ll watch until the end

It's torture watching him let his second character fall out the cart also. If you have 2 characters and fall off the cart you can land back in if your quick enough.

My 13-year-old past self has no sympathy for learning curves lol. You picked up on it pretty quickly, though! The music in this game is classic, too. Some of the best video game songs ever created. Glad to see you trying some classic 90s platformers, though! So many great games out there!

A couple tips: You can roll to kill most enemies, and roll of edges then jump to get better distance and hard to reach items. You can use Funky Kong to fly to previous levels to save your game.

Hilarious that he muttered… “im actually enjoying this game.” As if this is a game most people dont like… like… umm hello… these games MADE THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY WHAT IT IS TODAY! Donkey Kong franchise is ICONIC.

DK Country contributed to a lot of rage in adolescents in the 90s. Lots of broken remotes. 😂

I was born in 1993 and I have a sister 7 years older than me. My absolute first ever memories of video games is watching my sister play this. Many years and many games later, I still fondly remember this game. Glad you had fun, DeeBee. Hope you and your family are well ❤

Watching you creep around these levels slowly and cautiously is a trip! I’ve had the ins and outs of this game internalized since I was in 1st grade or so. It came out when I was in Kindergarten. I know where all kinds of secrets are, that you just strolled right past. I know little graphical details like that there are pockets of safety in the water level, between the walls and the spinning octopuses where you can just dodge them… And you didn’t use them! Its all so second nature to me, and I’m having my mind blown seeing an adult walking through this game for the first time. (Literally, WALKING! You didn’t even know how to RUN at first!) Hope it doesn’t sound like I’m trying to tease you or anything. I’m loving this SO much!!! I really hope you continue this series!

The old kong is Cranky Kong, and used to be the original Donkey Kong, yeah.

Extremely hilarious watching you play this. You are such a source of goodness in this world, keep up being you 💚

My 5 year old daughter has just started playing video games and Donkey Kong Country is currently her favorite. Your first moments in this game remind me a lot of her playing and I can't help but find it adorable.

Can't wait to see him tackle Poison Pond. That one was always a killer when I was a kid. I also fondly remember my first mine cart level in this game. I remember how my mind was blown by the graphics, being accustomed to the NES...

Gooooood luck! These games are awesome, but they're also BRUTAL XD

Now that Dee Bee Geek is playing through all these games from my childhood I wonder what're the chances for him to play Mega Man X...

The DKC games were my favorite as a child! This made me so happy to see you play it, hope to see more but I know you’re a very busy man. Much love ❤️

This reminds me of Battletoads The hours we spent trying to beat that game, good times. I enjoy games that reward skill and if you die, you know it was your fault and not the games

DKC SNES trilogy was my childhood! Loved these games

Ayo just wait till you get to the donkey Kong games for the Wii and Wii U they look stunning ! Really wish they made a open world Donkey Kong game it would look beautiful

It took me 40 hours to beat this game. Its hard, but definitely one of the greatest platformers of all time.

Love DKC series & seeing a new player like him play it & figure it out brings a sense of joy. When they catch feels for the music. Watchin em when the difficulty kicks in - priceless

The more time passes, the funnier cranky kong gets. Truly a character ahead of his time.

I love the Snes D.K. Country trilogy, big classic

Donkey Kong country 2 was a masterpiece. Probably the best of the three DKC SNES games and has one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time imo

Yo, the whole sequence from 33:30 onwards absolutely killed me! 😂😂😂😂😂 I've got a headache from all the laughter now.....

Seeing DBG constantly reset and die is possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen on the channel

33:14 Not even Jim Carrey at his prime as Ace Ventura could come with such a face of frustration.

This game made me want to chuck my controller across the room so many times that I played it...

The entire Donkey Kong Country series is phenomenal. Not a single bad game in the franchise. There's 5! It'd be awesome if you played some of all of them

This man is going to have nightmares about coconut throwing vultures.

Oh dang, didn't know Kena got Thanos-snapped and that's why you played DKC. A soul for a soul

Dee, please stick to this one! DKC2 is one of the best platformers ever, and I can't wait for you to play it!

The mine cart part is making me laugh so much. I remember playing this with my cousin and we died so much on that level. Brilliant game.

I like when the Kongs dance after finishing a stage, lol.

Good job! I realised I have probably played the Minecart level a few thousand times, so its easy to forget how difficult it actually is

Watching this stream was the best retro shit I´ve ever seen! (I was almost in joy tears at some point) So much fun (and nostalgia factor), even after he started getting tired and tried to rush the later stages he played, which was obviously going to end up on piling frustration xD That said, he did quite well on some of the early-but-hard stages like the Cannon stage on world 1, and doing the entire 1st cart stage in one go after finally clearing it. That also said, him missing most secret door was causing an itching to my side, especially the one he DID reveal but failed to notice xD
