Donkey Kong Country Expansion
The mine cart levels have become an iconic part of the Donkey Kong franchise starting from the original Donkey Kong Country. There were also several major tests of reflexes where players were forced to dodge incoming enemies while also jumping over the tracks that are broken.
The themed ride will make riders feel the latter aspect of those famous levels and will feature sections where it would appear like the coaster is jumping over broken parts of the tracks. Fans are eagerly waiting for new information regarding the Donkey Kong Country expansion during the upcoming Super Nintendo World Direct, according to Comic Book.
The situation comes as Nintendo fans have been waiting for months for new information regarding the Japanese company's next console. The Switch 2 still does not have an official name and information is still limited.
