, is a 1999 platforming video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo as a first-party title for the Nintendo 64 console. Initially released on 24 November 1999 in North America, it subsequently came out in Europe on 6 December and Japan on 10 December of the same year. The game is a follow-up to the ''Donkey Kong Country'' trilogy on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, with many levels containing elements from those games, such as the mine carts and the bonus stages. It was originally planned to be titled ''Donkey Kong Country 64''. ''Donkey Kong 64'' follows the adventures of Donkey Kong and four of his simian relatives as they try to win back their hoard of Golden Bananas and banish King K. Rool. Players can control all five Kongs in eight individual levels as well as a greater world map, a multiplayer mode, and several minigames. ''Donkey Kong 64'' was one of only three Nintendo 64 games to require the Expansion Pak (the others being ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'' and ''Perfect Dark''),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nintendo 64 Accessories )〕 which provides 4 MB more RAM for enhanced graphics and more expansive environments, as well as to fix a game-breaking bug. The game was well received by critics upon release, and went on to become a Player's Choice title. For over eight years, ''Donkey Kong 64'' was not made available on Nintendo's Virtual Console service, despite the fact that Nintendo retained full rights to the game as their intellectual property. However on April 1, 2015, it was announced the game would be released on the Wii U Virtual Console on April 16, 2015 in North America and after the Nintendo Direct presentation in Japan and Europe. The game has been re-released "as is" on the Virtual Console, including the original unlockable arcade version of ''Donkey Kong'' intact as well as retaining all references to Rare, including their game ''Jetpac''. == Gameplay == The game is a 3D adventure with strong platforming links, similar to that of ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Banjo-Kazooie''. There are a total of five playable characters, each with unique abilities and upgrades. The player starts out with access to Donkey Kong only, then goes on to unlock each of the other four Kongs as part of the gameplay. They are each necessary to defeat character-specific bosses in each level. Each feature length new Kong that is freed can be accessed as playable through tag barrels that are scattered throughout each world. Additionally, each Kong is represented by a color which works alongside the game's unique collecting system where objects such as bananas and coins can only be collected by the Kong whose color corresponds to the color of that object. Each playable Kong has several different collectibles within the game. There are five Golden Bananas per Kong in every level that only that specific character can get. The Golden Bananas are used as payment to open the entrance to every new level. In every level, each Kong delivers a color-appropriate blueprint to Snide in exchange for a Golden Banana. These will also extend the time limit the player has to complete the mission in the 8th world, where the player must deactivate the Blast-O-Matic. Each character can also find 100 color-appropriate bananas per level through single bananas, bunches, or balloons; collecting 75 of a character's 100 bananas in a world will earn them a Banana Medal. The bananas are necessary to unlock boss fights which drop keys to K.Lumsy's cage; collecting the keys open new areas of the DK Isles and Crocodile Isle. Another collectible is character-specific colored coins, which allow each Kong to buy essential combat items: Cranky Kong's special ability potions, Funky Kong's guns, and Candy Kong's musical instruments. Other items to be collected are ammunition for guns, orange grenades, crystal coconuts used to fuel special abilities, film for taking banana fairy pictures, and headphones scattered in each level to restore the instruments' powers. Two single items of grave importance later in the game are the Nintendo and Rareware Coins, which can be obtained via classic video games emulated in ''Donkey Kong 64''. 15 Banana Medals are required for the player to play ''Jetpac'' to get the Rareware Coin. The Nintendo Coin can only be found in the game's third area, Frantic Factory, by playing the original ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game and winning twice (first for a Golden Banana, and second for the Nintendo Coin). Both are necessary to finish the final level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donkey Kong 64」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
