The briefing

About this game

DK: King of Swing follows Donkey Kong as he sets out to recover the special medallion stolen by King K. Rool before the jungle’s king-selection ceremony. Along the way, he must rescue Diddy, Dixie, and Funky Kong from King K. Rool’s minions.

Its distinctive controls focus on swinging through trees and spinning to build momentum for powerful leaps. Levels combine platforming and puzzle elements, including gear-based mechanisms that open doors and bolts that loosen as you spin. Careful movement and timing are essential for reaching the treetops and navigating the jungle.
