Donkey Kong 64 wasn’t just big. It was enormous. As the first N64 game to require the Expansion Pak, it opened the door to a massive 3D world full of puzzles, secrets, and more bananas than anyone knew what to do with.
🎮 Five Kongs, Five Playstyles You didn’t just control Donkey Kong. You swapped between five unique Kongs, each with their own special moves, weapons, and musical instruments. Some challenges could only be completed by specific characters, encouraging you to explore every corner.
🎤 The DK Rap That Wouldn’t Quit The game kicks off with the unforgettable “DK Rap.” Originally intended as a silly intro, it went from joke to legend, becoming one of the most iconic and memed tracks in gaming history.
🍌 Completionist Nightmare or Dream? Between the 201 Golden Bananas, hundreds of collectibles, secret areas, and full versions of Jetpac and the original Donkey Kong arcade game, this adventure was packed with content for those willing to chase 100 percent.
Donkey Kong 64 may have felt overwhelming, but it remains one of the boldest and most content-rich platformers on the Nintendo 64. Rare went all in and created something unforgettable.
