Woah, DK! You’re hitting the bongo so hard, your legs have swung into the air! That’s too much bongo, DK!

The central pose is fitting, really, when you consider just how hard this cover slaps. The red and white background, the cel-shaded DK, that rock-and-roll spray-painted ‘2’ in the logo. Just makes you want to whip out the peripherals and go for a bongo sesh, no?

Europe

The European design is a little tamer, by comparison, but it does have added Diddy Kong, which is always a bonus. The bright green background subtly packs in some musical notes (a nice touch), and we’re fans of the DK and Diddy sprites that appear in the logo — did we really need the other ones down the bottom, though?

Japan

Ah, now that’s more like it! The logo from the European design returns here, but it takes centre stage on its own. With the focus on DK and Diddy, and the bonus balloons and confetti that are scattered around them, this one really sells the ‘party’ vibes.
