Donkey Kong 64
大金刚64
Donkey Kong 64 is a 3D action platformer developed by Rareware and released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64. Players control five Kong characters—Donkey, Diddy, Chunky, Tiny, and Candy—each with distinct abilities and attacks. The game features a hub-world structure where players navigate large, colorful levels collecting bananas, coins, and other items while solving environmental puzzles and defeating enemies. Each Kong specializes in different areas: Donkey Kong uses strength, Diddy employs speed with his jet pack, Chunky throws objects, Tiny uses her miniaturization, and Candy provides support items. The campaign includes eight main levels plus bonus challenges. Combat involves button-mashing attacks and weapon collection. Up to four players can compete in multiplayer modes. The game emphasizes exploration and character switching as core mechanics, requiring different Kongs to access specific areas and solve particular puzzles.
