Whether he's throwing hands with Nintendo's finest, banging on the bongos or blasting out of barrels, Donkey Kong (DK) is the most adventurous ape in video games. Nintendo's swanky simian has foiled King K. Rool's nefarious schemes over and over since 1994's Donkey Kong Country. The franchise's first installment sold over nine million copies and became one of the best-selling titles on the Super Nintendo, spawning four sequels, numerous ports, spin-off games, a toy line and a TV show.
