Episode 131: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - Retro Rewind

This week Craig and Dave play the better/worse pirate themed game of the past few weeks.

Yes! Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Or as Dave likes to say Diddy Kong's Quest! Released in 1995 this platformer has swappable characters, lovely looking graphics, fantastic music and the BEST transformations of any game.
