Donkey Kong Country is a 1994 chapter book written by Michael Teitelbaum and published by Troll Communications, based on the video game of the same name. The book spawned two sequels named Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle and Donkey Kong Country: Rescue on Crocodile Isle, loosely based on Donkey Kong Land and Donkey Kong Country 2, respectively.
Plot
On a dark and stormy night, Diddy Kong takes over from Donkey Kong in guarding their banana hoard from the Kremlings. As Donkey Kong goes to sleep, Diddy is assaulted by a group of Kremlings led by Klump and sealed inside a barrel, which Klump promptly kicks across the jungle.
The next morning, Donkey Kong wakes up and notices that Diddy and the bananas are gone. His panic wakes up Cranky Kong, who insists on tagging along to find Diddy. While adventuring, the pair are ambushed by two Kremlings, but they are saved by Rambi and find Diddy. Rambi then convinces the Kong to destroy the Kremling's factory.
After a brief encounter in the Treetop village, Rambi deposits the Kongs at the bottom of the mountain. The Kongs initially have difficulty braving the blizzard, but they are soon rescued by Expresso who instructs them on how to get through the factory via the abandoned mines.
In the mines, the apes soon encounter Squawks, who shows them a shortcut to the factory via a mine cart. The Kongs enter the factory and after defeating its two employees, demolish it using TNT Barrels.
The next morning, the Kongs walks to the shoreline and meet Enguarde, who guides them to the Gangplank Galleon. The Kongs board the ship as King K. Rool announces to his underlings the destruction of the factory and his intention to launch a "full-scale attack" on their home. The Kongs attack and K. Rool flees the ensuing brawl. The Kremlings soon abandon ship and the stolen bananas are loaded on a giant improvised raft created by Cranky. The apes then congratulate themselves on a job well done.
