Will you be the one to uncover the secrets of the Lost World?
Fame-and-fortune seekers have journeyed far and wide in search of the fabled Lost World. Eager to find it first, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong set off to discover its entrance, unaware that Bron K. Roolenstein and his Kremling Krew are hot on their tail! Meanwhile, Dixie Kong is left behind to babysit her younger cousin, Kiddy Kong. But that won’t stop her from answering the call of adventure! Help Dixie Kong and Diddy Kong through 36 Kremling-infested levels, each containing their own secret areas and bonus levels! While Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin is useful for hovering away from obstacles, Kiddy Kong’s Somersault allows you to roll over land and jump farther after rolling off ledges! Animal friends are back to help, and there are plenty of collectibles and items to find along the way. Help the adventuring duo to be the first to uncover the entrance to the secret Lost World!
