Bringing back Donkey Kong Country after 16 years was no easy task; Rare left some big shoes to fill. Fortunately, Retro Studios managed to match that level of quality with Donkey Kong Country Returns in 2010.

To pull it off, Retro used a simple whiteboard. They wrote the names of all the levels on the board and rated each one with a symbol. The goal was for every level to reach a double circle rating, and it worked.

Donkey Kong Country Returns originally launched on the Nintendo Wii in 2010. It later got ported to the 3DS as Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. A few years later, it came to Switch as Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
