Donkey Kong Country 2

Super Nintendo · 2026

An early SNESRecomp build with experimental widescreen, rewind, and save states.

Donkey Kong Country 2 is an early SNESRecomp project led by contributor Nicktendonick.

It is still early, but the direction is clear: keep the stock game faithful, then add modern comfort features around it.

Playable status

Very early alpha. A Windows build is public, and the bring-up is still underway.

It is built from a dump you provide: the launcher asks for your North American v1.0 ROM and verifies it by checksum.

What the recomp adds

Even this early, the build has a few clear additions:

  • Experimental 16:9 widescreen, showing more level on each side instead of stretching the picture.
  • Rewind, fast-forward, and five save-state slots.
  • Screen models for raw, CRT, composite, and Trinitron-style presentation.
  • An in-game overlay for settings, controls, and assist tools.
