《咚奇剛 歸來 HD》（ドンキーコング リターンズ HD /Donkey Kong Country Returns HD）是任天堂於Nintendo Switch平台推出的高清重製版，原作由Retro Studios開發，最初於2010年在Wii平台發行。這款橫向捲軸動作遊戲延續《Donkey Kong Country》系列的經典風格，並透過現代化的畫面與操作系統，為玩家帶來全新的遊戲體驗。

故事發生在大金剛島，主角Donkey Kong與夥伴Diddy Kong面對來自「提基部族」(Tiki Tak Tribe)的威脅。這群邪惡的木偶生物利用催眠能力控制島上的動物，並偷走Donkey Kong珍藏的香蕉。為奪回香蕉並解救被控制的動物，Donkey Kong與Diddy Kong展開一場冒險之旅。

在操作方面，可以選擇單人模式或雙人合作模式進行遊戲。單人模式下，玩家控制Donkey Kong，而Diddy Kong則作為輔助角色，提供跳躍與攻擊支援。雙人模式則允許兩位玩家分別控制Donkey Kong與Diddy Kong，共同挑戰各種關卡。遊戲支援Joy-Con控制器，並充分利用其體感功能，例如搖動控制器來觸發特殊動作，如Donkey Kong的地面拍擊或Diddy Kong的噴射背包滑翔。

舞台包含多個主題區域，如叢林、沙灘、遺跡、洞窟、工廠與火山等，每個區域皆具有獨特的視覺風格與機關設計。Retro Studios巧妙地保留原作系列重視節奏感與反應判斷的特色，同時加入現代化的機關與立體背景互動。例如，玩家需應對會塌陷的橋梁、翻轉的木樁、滾動的石球與追趕型敵人等挑戰。此外，經典的礦車關卡與火箭關卡也全面升級，提供更豐富的遊戲體驗。每個關卡中藏有大量的隱藏房間、拼圖碎片與金色K-O-N-G字母，鼓勵玩家探索與重玩，增加遊戲的耐玩性。

發售後在市場上獲得極高的評價。許多玩家與媒體一致讚譽本作忠實還原《Donkey Kong Country》系列的精神，同時在畫面、節奏、關卡設計與操作手感上進行全面革新。視覺表現方面，開發團隊利用Switch平台的機能，呈現出色的卡通渲染與生動場景，光影效果、動畫流暢度與角色表情都充滿細節，搭配重製版的經典配樂，讓系列老玩家與新世代玩家都能感受到熟悉而新鮮的魅力。

整體而言，這是設計紮實、關卡變化豐富、體感操作融入得宜的橫向捲軸動作佳作，無論是系列忠實玩家、平台動作迷或是尋求家庭娛樂的玩家，都能在其中找到樂趣。不僅是Nintendo Switch平台上最受推崇的動作遊戲之一，也成功為《Donkey Kong Country》系列在新世代開創嶄新的篇章。

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (ドンキーコング リターンズ HD) is a high-definition remaster released by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Originally developed by Retro Studios and first launched on the Wii in 2010, this side-scrolling action platformer carries forward the classic spirit of the Donkey Kong Country series while enhancing the gameplay with modern visuals and refined controls, offering players a fresh yet nostalgic experience.

The story is set on Donkey Kong Island, where the main protagonist Donkey Kong and his partner Diddy Kong face the threat of the Tiki Tak Tribe — a group of evil wooden puppets with hypnotic powers. These tiki creatures brainwash the island’s animals and steal Donkey Kong’s precious banana hoard. To reclaim the bananas and free the enslaved animals, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong set off on a bold adventure across the island.

Gameplay allows for both single-player and two-player cooperative modes. In single-player, the player controls Donkey Kong, with Diddy Kong riding on his back to assist with jumping and attacking. In co-op mode, two players can take control of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong individually, working together to tackle the game’s many challenges. The game supports the Joy-Con controllers and makes full use of their motion-sensing capabilities — for example, players can shake the controller to trigger special moves such as Donkey Kong’s ground pound or Diddy Kong’s jetpack-assisted glide.

The adventure spans multiple themed worlds including jungles, beaches, ruins, caves, factories, and volcanoes, each featuring unique visual styles and mechanical designs. Retro Studios retained the series’ signature emphasis on rhythm, timing, and quick reactions, while modernizing level interactions and dynamic backgrounds. Players must navigate hazards like collapsing bridges, rotating platforms, rolling boulders, and chasing enemies. Classic mine cart and rocket barrel stages have also been enhanced, adding new layers of excitement and challenge. Each level is filled with hidden rooms, puzzle pieces, and the iconic golden K-O-N-G letters, encouraging exploration and replayability.

Upon release, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD received widespread acclaim from both players and critics. Many praised the game for faithfully preserving the spirit of the original Donkey Kong Country series while upgrading key aspects such as visuals, pacing, level design, and controls. The Switch version’s vibrant cartoon-like rendering, detailed animations, fluid motion, and expressive character design highlight the hardware’s capabilities. Combined with remastered versions of classic soundtracks, the game manages to capture the essence of the series while offering a fresh experience to both longtime fans and new players.

Overall, this title stands out as a solidly crafted, content-rich, and well-balanced side-scrolling platformer that skillfully integrates motion controls. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the series, a lover of platformers, or a player looking for fun and accessible family entertainment, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD delivers on all fronts. It is not only one of the most celebrated action games on the Nintendo Switch but also marks a triumphant return of the Donkey Kong Country series in the modern era.
