Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - For Koin, Kroc, and Kountry Apr 28, 2024

Show notes

We're closing out Ape-ril in style, like Funky Kong but with less 90s-era slang (maybe). It seems only right that, after covering the original DKC, we barrel-blast our way on up to its successor, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest for the SNES!
