Synopsis

Super Donkey Kong '99 is a pirate game based on the Donkey Kong Country series on SNES, produced by an unknown company for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1998. Only a few levels are from "Donkey Kong Country 3", and the rest are from the first "Donkey Kong Country" game.

There are five worlds in the game, each having two levels that use graphics and enemy sprites ripped directly from the official DKC games, with a boss at the end of each world. The controls are limited compared to the official games, with one button used to pick up barrels, B and C allowing running and jumping. As a result, the rolling attack has been removed from this game, meaning enemies can only be killed by jumping on them or throwing barrels at them. Like most pirate games, this game does not have a save function, although it does have unlimited continues.

In terms of audio, the title screen has a remake of the opening theme from the first DKC while the first two worlds use music from Super Mario All-Stars, and most of the sound effects were carried over from Streets of Rage. You can only play as Donkey Kong through the game (Diddy Kong is not playable but he will make an appearance...) due to the lack of DK barrels.
