Every episode of Donkey Kong Country ever, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The best episodes of Donkey Kong Country!

Donkey Kong isn't too smart, but he is the strongest monkey on the island of Congo Bongo, thanks largely to his diet of bananas. He's charged with protecting the Orb Of Power, the Crystal Coconut, from King's constant attempts to steal it in his quest to rule the island - though he often seems more interested in luscious Candy Kong, who works in the barrel factory.
