DK: King of Swing is a puzzle game for the Game Boy Advance in the Donkey Kong series.
Story[]
This game takes place during the Jungle Jam Tournament, where a festival is featured at the Donkey Kong Island. During the tournament, medals (which are actually DK Coins) are handed out as prizes to participants in contents such as breaking barrels and completing levels, the winner being crowned the hero of the jungle. King K. Rool, however, breaks in the tournament and steals all the medals before the tournament starts, stating himself as the jungle hero. Naturally, Donkey Kong defeats the Kremling leader to get the medals back and restore peace to Donkey Kong Island.
Gameplay[]
The main character is Donkey Kong, who swings and climbs across many pegs for most of the game, similarly to Bubbles of Clu Clu Land. The stages appear in worlds, and like the platforming games, Donkey Kong has to complete every stage first before he can challenge the world boss. After the boss is defeated, Donkey Kong can continue to the next world.
After completing the game and obtaining every medal and Crystal Coconut, the two required collectible items, the player unlocks Diddy Kong for play, in place of Donkey Kong, in a variation of the Adventure mode titled Diddy Mode. A few things were removed from Diddy Mode, including the tutorial level, the Bonus Barrels, and most bananas.
