Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest is an adventure platform video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). It was first released on 20 November 1995 in North America, 21 November 1995 in Japan and on 14 December 1995 in Europe. It is the second instalment of the Donkey Kong Country series and serves as a direct sequel to Donkey Kong Country. It was also re-released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004. The game was made available for download in later years as a Virtual Console game for the Wii (2007), Wii U (2015), and New Nintendo 3DS (2016). It was followed by a sequel, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! in 1996. The story revolves around Diddy Kong and his girlfriend, Dixie Kong, who try to rescue Donkey Kong after he is abducted by King K. Rool. The game is set on "Crocodile Isle", in which there are eight worlds of varying environments, totalling to 47 levels. The game utilises the same Silicon Graphics technology from the original, which features the use of pre-rendered 3D imagery. Diddy's Kong Quest received critical acclaim. Praise was directed at its graphics, gameplay and varying colour palette. It is considered by many[who?] to be the best game in the series, as well as one of the most graphically and musically ambitious games on the SNES. It was the second best selling game of 1995 and the sixth best-selling game on the SNES.
